It also has an LSD ( as I found out today ) :badgrin:

Bad things that I have noticed so far are LR wheel bearing is gone and then some, so will be replaced in the morning.
Intermittent sound from RR, started noticing this yesterday
And an occasional sound that sounds like a cricket chirping from the LF

Should have tried to get one with a hardtop. They don't seem to increase the price by any where near as much as the $1000 people ask for them.

Also, theres a MX5 cunt in hamilton that has relistic prices for a lot of gear if you need anything. MX5mart or something. Its on the e-web.

If you want to trial some wheels I have some +26 SSR MK2's that would probably look ok on this. Not enough wide or offset but probably good for a guage on what would be spot on.

Wind that shit down!

there's a red one driving around h-town literally 20mm off the ground, it's sacked to the weeds with some sweet 15/16" dished wheels, possibly those new OG Banzai wheels, has like -5 deg camber on the rear and nearly as much on the front too.

oh phat, how much u pay i want one. btw the clicking noise at front is most definatly a cv joint. reckonmend that u take that to a mechanic to get replaced asap

edit: i heard old rx7s have the same gearbox so they probably have the same front driveshafts. go see if theres one at pickapart. prob the cheapest option. new cvs can be expensive. peugeot nz tried to charge me 1400+gst for one

Taking it to a mechanic to replace a CV? Piss off. Do that shit yourself.

Also. WIN! (don't crash it! <- Had to say it)
