Cheers man.
Erm chassis rails and subframe hit the floor quite a lot, similar to my mates BM you saw. But it doesn't bother you when you get used to it, unless it sounds like it came from the sump, then you stare at the oil pressure gauge for a bit lol.
But its a cheap skid car so #justaintcare ha
Although i do have quite a nice engine build planned for it.

I'm actually not too sure mate. Cost me £670 to buy, spent a couple of grand on it probably. Most of it unnecessary to have fun. I just got carried away making it look baller.
Loads of plans for it this year though.

Yeah it's not too bad if you don't care. I've been daily'ing the mx5 last week because i snapped the Saxo driveshaft being a bellend lol and it's not been toooooo bad. I wouldn't want it to be my only car though.

Cheers man fed up of my current pikey modded coilovers lol so i've just bought some HSD's. Do one but i can't guarantee your LSD will work after a few laps.
They tend to shit themselves when they get some proper abuse and just turn in to an open diff.
Standard mx5's love a dirty little flame because of the stupid old fashioned air flow meter lol

Mine is a late 1.8 JDM so got a Toresen type 2 4.3, same ratios as the 1.6 but a mechanical locking diff. People on nutz always ask for one in the wanted sections, 4.3's I believe all come with 10% lightened flywheels too.
