But trying not to play with an MX5 is like forcing back a yawn, or sneeze, or a 6'5" bodybuilding rapist. Like it or not, its going to happen.
I'll be swapping over to a fresh(er) set of struts and mazdaspeed springs on the weekend. Can anyone confirm that the NB8Bs suspension feels a little softer than the NB8As?
Hopefully the mazdaspeed springs make a big difference and wont wreck the stock bump stops.
I'm also looking for an exhaust.
Does anyone know if i will have noticeable increase in throttle response from a cat-back alone? I had a "sports" cat back done on a 180SX that made a very noticeable difference.
Or will i only see a performance increase after new headers and high flow cat?
This will be on a tight budget, on a car that will only do 5-10,000K max per year. so a used aftermarket system would suit.
Agreed, though the rapist analogy was disturbing.
Your 8B headers are already prob as good as they get. The stock exhaust is pretty good as well but having said that it wont stop me from tinkering for a meatier growl and hopefully response.
