My 1990 NA6

Postby physco88au » Mon Nov 03, 2008 10:35 am

Well here is my Aus delivered 1990 MX5. Bought it stock as they come, other than king springs. car was second owner and couldnt be happy. After owning a S13 and a Soarer i wanted something different from the rest, wouldnt cost much to run, light and NA. An AE86 popped into my head, but again a bit to old, a bit too much hassle and id already had to 4AGE's in corollas.

As i bought it 2 months ago

And since then i have added
15x6.5 +19 Volks with 195/50 RE001's
slotted and dimpled rotors
Whiteline 22mm front swaybar
Whiteline 16mm Rear swaybar
G4 Coilovers 8/6kg
Made 68.5rwkw at Morpowa Dyno here in SA

They came up really well! Your coilovers don't appear to be set at the correct position though :lol:

Another half inch on them would have been good, but they do sit in quite a nice spot, and its not like you'd run more than a 195 even if they were wider anyway, it'd just make them look a little better with a tiny amount of stretch.

What do you think of those Yokos so far?

If I wasnt going turbo (which wont suit my original exhaust) I'd almost offer to sell mine, I'm getting sick of exhaust noise and miss having a stock exhaust with pod induction roar.

I've found a few MX5 bits at Zed Imports and ummm... importer just across from Scotty's motel on Main North at... Nailsworth?

Might also be worth going for a walk through the Mazda section at City Dismantlers, I've found a few cool things in there before
