Re: charlie's na6

Re: charlie's na6
Really? I didn't notice any change with my ARC pipe. Maybe I just can't hear it over the exhaust...

Re: charlie's na6
update time
Ok so this week has been sick lol
lowered the front and recieved the spoiler in time for the jdmst meet and i think it looks cool
With the spoiler the fitment was ok.. same as with any carbon fibre piece its never perfect,
but i was able to make it work and it fits pretty good.
Also since i have lowered it i have eliminated the scubbing in the rear and only got a little bit
on the front left but thats just because the fender is flocked already..
Here are some pictures from the meet.
I also bought a set of whiteline adjustable swaybars and a bride zeta II
I still need to figure out what i wanna do with the rails but i got the sparco till that goes in
Hope u like it as much as i do
cheers

Re: charlie's na6
During the week i went for a photoshoot with rory from downshift for a feature on roadster garage.
Heres my favourite pic..
here's the feature here...
http://roadstergarage.wordpress.com/201 ... rlies-na6/
Then today i went and got my swaybars installed down the road at jax quick fit. By
the looks of things im glad they did it
I also lowered the rear just a bit to bring it all even with the front.. Wheel alignment
tomoro hopefully then that should be the end of my scrubbing issues.
Ill give an update of the sway bars soon.. i havent really been able to drive much yet but it will come

Re: charlie's na6

Am I missing something? How'd ya get more camber with spacers?

Re: charlie's na6
Excellent thread and a beautiful car.
If you don't mind me asking - where did you get the spacers and how much were the sway bars to get installed?
Thanks

Re: charlie's na6
Cheers mate
I got the spacers from _xhondaboy_ on this forum.
The sway bars were 80 to get put in but I'm pretty sure that was only because he knows me. They don't usually do that stuff.
It was the Jax quick fit at aspley..

Re: charlie's na6
UPDATE :
so i kinda forget to update this one so ill just cram all my latest mods and what not into one post
Ive been wanting to make a brake master cylinder stopper for a while now and decided to finally get on to it last
night. It was pretty easy i thought but ill let my picture do the talking

pic from jdmst meet. Cheers matt.
Love this pic because it shows off the rear subframe brace and my car looks really clean lol
Ive got a small list of things i wanna do over the next month or so.
- Do the whole exhaust setup again (including all custom work)
- Boss frog frame rails
- Jackson racing cai
So i took off the rear sway bar the other day and the car handles alot better now. The rear feels planted but the front is responsive... SICK!!!
Also getting a quote atm for a jr cai and boss frog frame rails. Once i get that sorted i can start putting my exhaust together.
I also have sold both my other intakes so that was the ARC and the mania one.
This is what the engine bay should look like with the air intake. (minus the wiretuck)
Its gonna be a pretty free flowing system but i dont want it to loud so we'll see what i come up with
This is a photo on the way home from jamboree..
Update: So i picked up an exhaust today to start modifying.. I have to modify it anyways
because it interferes with the brace but i wanna see what i can come up with
Heres a pic.
I just bought these
Tuckin 99 floormats lol. My carpet is sh*t so these should do the trick.
Also im gonna keep that exhaust the way it is for a while. Just mod it to fit the brace then
if i dont like it ill change it in the future.

So in other news i fitted my intake and recieved my floor mats..
The intake took a while to do as there was a fair bit of steps involved. It sounds amazing and i can feel a bit more power difference then before with no intake.
I love it
Pics yo.
I know just need to clean my engine bay and put headers on
woooooooooooo
I also sold my mx5 plus roll bar and have now picked up a cusco safety 21 7pt roll cage from japan
Thats pretty much it atm lol. Hopefully i should get the exhaust done next week and frame rails not long after
thanks guys

Re: charlie's na6
Update:
So over the past week Rhy's and Jason from mx5 plus have been putting me together a custom exhaust made to my specs and what they have come up with is truly amazing i reckon.
The specs on it atm are 4 - 2 -1 headers, high flow stainless cat, 2.5" mid pipe section followed by lobster weld rear section including a resonator and muffler. The exhaust is really loud atm but im in the works with putting a muffler into the mid pipe.
Pics are as follows.
As you can see from the pics it looks awesome.
I highly recommend them for any type of work including custom stuff. Im wrapped with the outcome.
Pm me for any details if u want. cheers
