NicT Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Not really my cup of tea but appreciate the angle you're going for. Certainly needs more low aesthetically, though what this will do to handling is anyone's guess. I'd say minus 2" Good shit though, quick pshop of required lowness. May be inaccurate fucking sick, that is where i want it. ATM the car subframe is pretty low to the ground too, im sure its under the 100mm rule. Can you elaberate the angle im going for as opposed to what you would do? Ideally id love something like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Looking at pictures like that you will only ever be disappointed with your wheel selection. I was the same. Buy silly wheels and then make the car fit them haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy silly wheels and then make the car fit them haha. A bit rash man. I like the wheels i have selected, they were cheap, look nice and i think they suite the car. Proberly lower the offset of them in the future when i go for more low. I just trying to figure out a solution to go 4x114.3 on it without running adaptors. I can potentially machine the hubs and discs and restud them. Or i just get a set of sportmax or axis 03 copies from the states which come in 4x100. The car is at an intermediate stage of where i want to go lol. More low, less pistons, more dish. For now i need to make a new roll bar, and hit the track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Okay, those are the exact angle I'd go for It's just your choice of wheels threw me off The slamburglars one is win. I bet the underside is interesting I personally wouldn't spend a cent on those wheels. Keep it aside for something else. They'll never look right. Are they 15s? Too big aesthetically I feel. Good to see where you're headed though. Be the one of the first MX5 in NZ that isn't shameful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicT Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 Everyones having a speel about wheels when your all forgetting the important piece I think with less offset wheels will look fine. They already look ace, just needs more low. If i wanted more dish id just rip the multistuds off the skyline, but i think some oldschool wheels just dont suite newschool cars.

Hopefully sorting Apex's in the next 2 - 3 weeks. Going to bridge the endplates and centre plates tomorrow. All the other seals that i have are good. Need to get flywheel, water pump housing, water pump, dizzy, bell, carb or roll efi (which i already have megasquirt, injectors and throttle bodies) and clutch assembly so not very much in terms of collecting shit. sorry if dumb question but are you going n/a or turbo ? NA, 180hp is enough for me. Still trying to decide if i want to roll carb or use some 4age quads i have and run 2x550cc per secondaries and 1x550 per primary (i have a lot of GT4 injectors available) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 350 chev is the only way to go. There was one at manfeild today with something about 5L on the number plate. Was def a v8 but what would it have been? Heaps of possibilitys prob. Never got a look under bonnet and cant tell the different sounds of v8s like my father.

NicT Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 i vote carbs and sell me megasquiz Carbie is easier. You seriously interested in MS? Its a MS-II, the circuit board is completed but no software has been uploaded onto it. If your keen PM me, i dont mind parting with it to fund engine rebuild.
