My Mazda MX5 S-Special Type II
Discussion
Finally finished fitting the new suspension, had a nightmare getting one of the nuts from the front off as was rounded and chewed up, all done now tho
It started to rain when I had finished so only got a few quick photos of them fitted -
Went for a quick drive and can already tell the difference, alot smoother ride compared to the Ta Technix's, wont have a chance to test them properly till next weekend now which sucks as busy this week
Going to get a WIM Fast road setup next for the car which should improve it even more

You should have asked for a bit more front camber. Just had mine changed from -.25° to -1° and it feels much better under hard turns now.
Think I've only got around -.5° on the rear, as I was too poor to afford the rear camber too! Still handles nicely though, feels like there's more front end grip.

From memory I used to run mine at -1.2 front and -1.5 rear, with max caster and very slight toe-in. Was a nice all-round setup for mainly road use with the odd track day.Think I've only got around -.5° on the rear, as I was too poor to afford the rear camber too!

Havn't done much to the car recently, have been planning a European Road trip for the car in September so just been doing jobs ready for that, changed the Cambelt and have given it a full service so everythings ready for the trip, cant wait
Drove the car to Wilton Classic Supercars on Sunday and had a good day looking at lots of nice cars, only picture I got of my car parked next to a Corvette

Have had an annoying rattle for a few weeks so finally got round to seeing if I could find where it was coming from, sounded like the backbox rattling so checked all the exhaust mounts and didnt find anything, then thought id check the rest of the exhaust and found that one of the Bolts on the decat was missing!
Fitted a new bolt and went for a drive, no annoying rattle anymore

Went to take my car for a drive the other day and found a puddle of coolant underneath and my coolant tank nearly empty, turns out it was leaking from the heater hoses that go into the bulkhead, ordered some new ones from Autolink, all fitted and sorted now, glad it happened before my euro trip next week!
Also decided to refit my original Airbox as the induction kit was getting quiet hot even with the heatshield fitted.
Drilled a few holes in the bottom of it to let more air in, its alot quiter now compared to when the induction kit was fitted.
Also fitted a GB sticker and gave the car a hoover out ready for my Euro trip next Saturday, travelling to France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Belgium cant wait, gonna be awesome
