looks like a good car with a few good mods already done!


hey lowy:) yeh mate thats the one, this is my new project that i need all the help i can get with to turbo :D, i didnt want to say too much last week just in case it fell through but now that ive got it, im happy to shed some light on it :)

so far so good, although its a little too low & bottoms out so i'll be raising it a little, other then that yeh great so far, its like a gokart with the coilovers & looks better in real life then on the pics, the colour is deeper in the sunlight.

just need to get the turbo kit done now :)

Really awesome how this thread matches some of the cars to the names...and really good to see so many awesome cars :)

Not a very brightly lit pic but here's my wheels. 15x7\" replicas of Black Racing N1's. The car has since copped smaller white plates, xenons with angel eyes, a front lip, and a new black Momo wheel instead of the tan one in the pic :D

Can someone recommend me a machinist in Sydney who can machine and polish the lip on my rims?
Anyone near Parramatta/silverwater would be good.

New wheels for the cheap MX5.
Very very light Starcorp 15 x 6.5 with 35 offset, with Yokohama C Drives. No rubbing anywhere. Couldn't say the same for the 17's.

Sadly MX5 less for a while.
