Yeah I agree, once I get coilovers it'll sit slightly lower. Worried the front lip will get smashed on a dip or steep driveway!

Reckon I should go the chrome NC style windsheild surround?

i think the chrome will suit it. what coilovers are you planning to get? also whats your tyre size? the lip appears to be low but the tyres dont seem to fill the guard.

Haven't started doing any research on coilovers yet. Probably go Tein flex or similar. Any suggestions?

Tyres are currently 195/50R15's which is the equivalent overall diameter to the factory setup.

Why did you change from the Garage Vary lip to the other lip?

equazu · Postby **equazu** » Thu May 28, 2009 10:27 pm

Haven't changed the lip over yet - to be honest, I'm having second thoughts...

Turn it into this!!!

But in all seriousness if your up for a black car photo shoot sometime, im on the Lower North Shore and am always down to see other Black MX5's

Yes black NA's are the best! Just gotta keep it clean! I have to wash it every fortnight or so + keep it under a car cover indoors.

I also spotted another Black NA today in Sydney CBD. Looked hot - but they're definitely a rare sighting.

As for photos - I'll try and post more over this weekend - Got the rear lower lip spoiler installed and it looks HOT!

Lukey - That's an awesome you tube video...seen it before. My favourite is the RS Aizawa touge battle with the EG Civic and Hachi Roku. Nothing can beat the raw induction note from the straight thru throttle bodies at 9000 rpm!
Show us some pics of your Black NB...

check out my garage thread and there a couple of pictures and my initial plans for my NB. I think my favourite part about that 13b NA is the louvered bonnet (just looks fecking awesome)
