Just one question, im considering a light weight flywheel for my NB8B, worth it?

Cheers


Haven't dríven the 5 a lot at this point and after a month of not using it its difficult to remember how it was. The car does seem a bit more responsive and is definately easier to rev which is good. Will be interesting to see what goes at the track.

So far in traffic I can't tell the difference, the yanks carry on about the 4kg versions being too light and causing idle hunting etc... I can see none of that and reckon they have their hand on it yet again.

I'd put one in if you were doing a clutch change, wouldn't bother otherwise.

Look really neat. What happens when you want to fit an intercooler though?
Installed your brake valve yet?

This is good, tidied up under the car rather nicely and is easier to remove than the plastic oem part, weights similar too.

Sasso why would this interfere with an intercoler setup? most of those seem to fit in the radiator mouth area. No, been slack haven't done the bias valve yet

Easily one of the best stances I have ever seen on an mx5, 15x8s really make the car look serious!

I agree.

With those 8's and that camber, it really looks muscly. Is there any rubbing when hitting bumps?

BTW, where did you get your front lip spoiler? I've been after one for a while now, no one locally seem to have stock.

thank guys,

No, no rubbing anywhere. Have actually pulled out some camber since those pics were taken too.

Just tossing up whether to sell the car or keep developing it. Theres a few nice Elises/Exiges on the market that I keep lusting over....
