Wait until the locals call you a Mexican (from down South). It's not a term of endearment.

yeah Bruce I've had the Mexican calls but they should be reserved for QLD'ers to call NSW's!

But that's what we call Victorians...

Queenslanders are Canadians.

Rears are all done and car is low! May, (no.. WILL) need to adjust the ride height now me thinks! Will take some pics when i can....

Loving the look of the Chaparrals and already had comments from parking it out the front of the house for 10 mins!

I gotta say that overall it did take a while to get it all in there and everything out, but now it's done, if i do need to do it again, it will take about 1/5th of the time to complete.

Did not use spring compressors at all..... go Long Bolt method!

Well done on doing the coilovers yourself, and good to see you tried the no spring compressor method!

Those wheels are one of the better ones for the MX-5, not that I would be biased at all

Keep up the good work, and photos please, or it didn't happen.

thx Juffa... Just gotta work out how to correctly adjust ride height now... Front needs to dip a little and back needs to raise a bit. Alignment booked next week (although steering is straight but just to be sure) so have a week to get it right.
