Doesn't hang too low I guess, not that you'd want that. Look at the pics you can find and see. They say its fairly adjustable.
My cat hangs down a few inches and scrapes on everything because of some dumb mechanic. I won't be able to install the butterfly's body 'till I install the turbo which will hopefully lift up the whole exhaust.

any updates? :lol:

sort of, I have an order number!

sent an email asking for updates a couple of days ago .... nothing

Tried to call this morning but appears I missed them, will try tomorrow.

I've never seen a US company so slow or so lax with a business transaction, especially as Keith is on Miata forums constantly.

Conversely my dealings with Goodwin are exceptionally prompt.

Woohoo, so is my turbo :mrgreen:

now which to install first... :?:

Don't install that turbo. It will only get in the way of the brace. :lol:

I'll make sure to trial fit that turbo just to make sure it works. :mrgreen:

I mean, how do you know if it is good for RHD cars? :lol:

Just read that the brace shipping is 2 weeks and the turbo is only 1.

Also realised that I could probably fit 3 mx5's in my garage if I take out a few things. So we can do 3 cars at a time on the dodgy day.

Ooer... I'm pretty busy (read hungover) for the upcoming weekends for about 3 weeks... Might prove a bit detrimental to installing the brace.

ooh, the anticipation is killing me

just had a call......

Appears these do indeed fall under the free trade agreement, just need to get FM to sign off on a declaration to say they comply.

Not holding my breath for delivery prior to the weekend but we live in hope
