i think your car was a woman in a previous life, too many shoes

hows the turbo going? putting it in yourself or getting boostwork to do it all?

& the important question, plumbback or atmo BOV?

[Adam_NAclubman]

No BOV, FJ20's didnt have em so nor shall I

Plumb-back if anything


Waiting to rebuild finances atm, I've only been doing one job lately since uni went back and I don't want to blow any more of my savings on the car, so it can wait till I save some more specifically for doing the conversion. Unless anyone wants to donate an ecu or buy my piggyback

Maybe I should just go with using that thing though, it'd save a lot of time and money I guess

[Adam_NAclubman]

Watanabes are back on



Full set of Volks fitted in the car, one in the boot, three on the passengers side

[Adam_NAclubman]

I'm down to only three sets of wheels now

Only NA8 Enkeis, 14x6.5 +14.5 Watanabes and 15x8 +12 & 15x8.5 +6 SSR Mk2s

Which means I've sold 4 sets this year haha

[Noodle]

Have you fitted the coilovers?

How are they?

[Adam_NAclubman]

They're good, I like them. Not too stiff, not too soft, though I havent mucked around with different damper settings yet, I think I'm on 6/14 from one end or the other.

The only annoying thing is having to wind them right up to use the guard-roller, I havent worked out the easy way to adjust them just yet

[Adam_NAclubman]

Its not my MX5, but we went and picked this up finally today

[SuperMazdaKart]

you serious? don't spin that out in the hills

[Adam_NAclubman]

Hahaha funny you should mention that, I span the Clubman once just past there, behind the car in the photo the road goes to the right slightly then there is a long straight, followed by a loooooooong downhill left-hander. Hit the limiter in third along the stright, went up into fourth, as I came to the corner I braked a tad and dropped it to third but must have come off the clutch too quickly as it compression locked and went sideways, 90 degrees to the road, and somehow ended up staying exactly he same distance from the rock wall all the way around the corner, completely perpendicular to the road until it had scrubbed off 130+kmh. When I got home there were scrub marks almost all the way to the rim in one spot on each right-hand wheel

[Duj]

Dad's?

[PUR157]

Is that a 1st Generation NSX-R or is it just the wheels?

[Adam_NAclubman]

It's a real one. They built more than twice as many of them as NA8 Clubmans though

[Okibi]

Looks like fun, what's your impressions driving it?

[Adam_NAclubman]

I havent yet

Mind you, he's only dríven it once. We picked it up and took it straight to a friend's Honda dealership for a service/detail and to store it in their showroom until he sells his M3 because he hasn't told my stepmum he bought it

I'm getting listed on the policy for it though

Goes very well for a NA 6, you can't feel the vtec kick in yo though. I thought the ride was firm but not uncomfortable, he thought about the same but we agreed that a normal person would probably think it was stupidly hard. Didnt really push it around corners at all, was a half miserable morning to start with and its probably better to drive it a fair bit first, plus Gorge Road probably isnt the place for him to learn mid engined handling

Drool...

Looks like you have an entire driving enthusiast family there !

Is it a 3.0L or 3.2L...?

How much was it if you don't mind me asking?
