i've been thinking about it.. autoexe is moar baller but digo is wallet friendly (sort of) do the digos fit mx5's ? i might look into it.

[philz]

give me $1000 and ill stitch you autoexe on it.

Not sure, I've been trying to find out as well, Digo is one of the latest range from Bride. It looks like it could.

some updates.

i decided to sell my bilstein shocks because i was at the point where i did not use my car anymore, and as a result, mischa was for sale. i was bidding on some aragostas and was thoroughly disappointed with losing the bid. sadly, this was my last bid to make me fall in love with my car again. szemen had belted me in the face (not literally) as i was still see sawing with whether or not to sell my car after the aragostas went. i was making excuses to hang onto it. at the end of the day, i weighed up my options. either sit on my money or to save up slowly.. and so i decided to hang on to mischa because deep down i loved her, and she loved me.

after the aragostas, these puppies appeared on yahoo auctions and were in mint condition, for a very good price too:

and then it got me all excited again. i was on an emotional rollercoaster at that point, like a young female adolescent having her first experience with rags.

opportunity awaited when my friend and i had arranged for a random trip to the US late november.. after touring a bit of los angeles, alabama, vegas and new york, i returned from the U.S., not empty handed, particularly with these bad boys:

[sliq]

the mono flexes were installed over 2 days. i couldn't wait when i arrived home from the US this monday and found my monos had been delivered. i installed the rear 2 shocks on monday, and after jet lagged had kicked in in full, i installed the front 2 on tuesday. the car handles incredibly well and i have noticed a lot less body roll when i drill the car into the corners

the sway bars will be in hopefully this weekend. i bought the FM sway bars over a few other options like the whiteline or racing beat ones as these aren't realllllly hard compared to them, meaning i wouldn't have to go replacing all these other joints if sways were too hard, and these would, in theory, reduce a good percentage of body roll, according to the fcm table. credits to fat cat motorsports for their calculation table in assisting me in my research! i think end links are on the wish list too but much further down the track.

the frame rails will be in some time between the following month to june. on the cards, next, is a brown davis roll bar

after nursing mischa for this long, i am going to give her a few lessons at the track (or vice versa). let the games begin!

Nice work sliq. Don't get too beat up about losing the auction. Those mono flexes do pop up from time to time, I've noticed! Nice one.

I look forward to hearing how the frame rails and sway bars go.

[Sasso]

oh yum, a nice set of updates. Are those the new light weight FM frame rails?

[Jeo]

Nicely done Sliq. Great to hear she's not only still around but improving.

i only ordered them about 2 weeks ago so i would assume so.

NEW UPDATE:

driveway: 2
garage vary lip: 0

just cracked my second garage vary lip cos i was too lazy to raise the car with the mono flexes in.. it's repairable as the lip is now in 2 pieces.. good enough excuse to get an autoexe front bar?

If you get an autoexe front bar, your going to be alot more upset if you were to crack it.

Still, it would complete your car ... well that and a set of wheels!

Nicely done Sliq. Great to hear she's not only still around but improving.

thanks mate. she's not too far from completion....... still on the look out for some killer wheels
