Who's running what on their MX5?
Archive #22750877
I thought I'd create a Wiki to list who's running what aftermarket parts/tyres etc on their cars. Might allow people to see whats popular, or who to talk to for info on a part. Feel free to add columns as required.
25.01.09 - I've added what I believe is the final colummn needed when comparing the most commom performance related mods - any of the multitubde of products designed to improve the chassis integrity and thus handling and ride quality. Snotters.
26.04.2009 - Added a column for Brakes, be they pads and/or discs. Combover
03/11/09 - added column for interior mods (seats etc)
15/01/10 - Added a column for year and engine size, thought it might be useful when looking at mods. - Howard.
20/01/10 - General tidy up and creation of full grid for everyone along with correcting some data in incorrect positions. - Red Firecracker. Cheers was getting messy
