You get used to it pretty quick, Ive been driving lowered cars for years, that MX5 wouldn't be difficult to drive at all, you just have to remember where the bumps are

Really? Looking at the rear arches, how is there any suspension travel at all? I doubt that would make it onto my drive.

Some of my own cars are lowered but lowering them, to the point where they're simply awful to drive, defeats the object for me. My own car smashed the engine sump of a manhole cover that was standing proud of the road and re-fitting the exhaust was a weekly task. In the end it spoilt my experience of owning the car so I wound the ride height back up an inch. I guess that's why air ride is so popular?

Nowadays, I prefer to optimise the handling of my cars over simply lowering as far as it will go. Running as much negative camber as that MX5 will spoil the handling, not improve it, hence it's not really a decent modification.

Just my opinion.

Bla bla, too low, wheels too big, tyre profile too low, bonnet doesn't fit flush, silly mirrors and bonnet vents, chav, halfords....

Pistonheads...

Erm..... I believe the bonnet will be fitted with spacers to allow heat to escape from the engine bay more easily. He should get on of those 'It's supposed to look like this' stickers.

Just need to talk the Wife into letting me add 2 more cylinders to our Commie lol.

Info copied from another forum:

"Built motor > GT3 oil pump and IMS, custom machine GT3 cams, carrillos, Porsche Motorsport RSR heads with 10mm plugs(big f-ing valves), Porsche Motorsport RSR intake plenum,.......it's about a $40K build if you could even get half the parts he has. He has major connections with PCNA, lucky bd

Motec M880 controller. He built full one off 935 RSR style headers, custom intercoolers, etc. 1" fuel lines and rails from a Weldon 2345-A. Currently running his older PTE 5857's but he has 6262's to go in after 6 more secondary injectors go in. Currently running six FIC 2150cc's on it now. Oh and it's E85 for those wondering.

He flew in a Motec engineer to oversee the tuning locally, car was making an estimated 1150BHP at only 1.35 bar of boost, based on the fuel flow going in. They couldn't keep the car from shredding tires on the dyno and didn't get a consistent readout but he wasn't worried about that as the car isn't completed yet.

For the time being he's holding off on more until he can get in the secondary injectors, and see if he's running out of pump. He is tossing around the idea of doing a 16volt conversion on the car, or possibly running a larger Weldon mechanical pump that'll flow a wee bit more fuel than the already compressor size pump he has in the car now. He ditched the AWD front diff a long time ago and the fuel pump now resides in it's place(pump is fking huge)"
