My housemates shed of an MX5 (Fully s**t content)

[Dan519]

More so than standard - they're very soft and wallowy straight out of the box so suspension mods are a must; they're a bit of a cruiser in standard form tbh.

2 weeks ago I'd have said you were completely wrong, however I've had mine on coilovers for a little while now, and really got to stretch it's legs yesterday. SO much fun!!!

 

[Jamie86]

I didn't think they are that bad to work on.. replaced all my wishbines and fitted new bushes, changed suspension, changed brakes and fitted an LSD in a couple of days.. plus a few other bits and bobs.

what coilovers?

 

[Matthew]

With the lights up it has a face

What a shitter though.

Racelands/Rokkors for a MK2, he's using second hand MK2 top mounts too. Nothing fancy, but it works!

FFS! Another little bodge then I saw him drive past Tameside Hospital today - I was just turning out so just missed him. Sounded good though... better than the Gwiztek!

 

[JoeyD]

Yeah, he had his made. Starting to rust badly already! Lol

 

[jesus]

I think that's the least of his worries tbh!

 

[Djw Dave]

I'd love an mx5 for the summer.

 

[aucky]

I'm going to try and take the hardtop off mine today (could be tricky on my own) :/

 

[JoeyD]

Its not too bad, just be properly careful not to scratch it on anything, they're kinda big.

 

[Djw John]

Yeah used to manage it myself ok. Always left it on the lawn and it just looked like the car had sunk!

 

[JoeyD]

Wheels fitted...

Wee video


Proper pictures coming tomorrow I would imagine...

 

[welshname]

I f**king hate this f**king s**t cunting b*****d car. It spends more time on my driveway that outside his own house.

Anyway few pictures unfortunately none of the finished article as he fucked off the minute it was off the jack to get to work leaving Joey, Wolverine and myself to clear up and then drive to his with his wheels in my car (because Joey and Sam both have f**king gay cars).

They're not the usual 15x8, they're 15x9 so maximum girth!

 

[Alex5]

His boots are so horrible

 

[JoeyD]

Its gone from a shed to an an absolute beast ! Wheels are great even though I don't like the euro look its a massive improvement

 

[Djw Dave]

Love love love it!

 

[Lal B3N]

It looks epic now!

 

[welshname]

Nice work joey. How you got pictures like that with no tripod on that car park I'll never know. Whenever I shoot on there it's too bloody dark.

 

[Knuckles]

Love it! Shed and a half :approve:

 

[Rob]

Awesome pics joe-man, that looks soo good now it's not even funny

 

[Lawro]

That is awesome!

 

[jesus]

Please keep them silver!

 

[Philip.]

Lol, that's amazin'.

 

[Goodj]

Remember when snapped suspension was a sign that your car needed fixing?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Anyway, Joey, stop faffing and just buy an SV-T

 

[Eddie.]

Don't touch it now.

Perfect height.

Ignore Rhys who will undoubtedly say it's too high.

 

[welshname]

It is at the front. Reverse rake FTL

RIDE HEIGHTS HAVE NOT BEEN SET.

 

[Eddie.]

Ugh. It's gonna look w**k if it goes even lower.

At least it won't be around long when he introduces his sump to the road.

 

[JoeyD]

The front is too high on the drivers side, come on!

We will be raising the rear on that side so it's more like the passenger side.

 

[Eddie.]

You're all going to be so "dissapointed" when you see the final height of the E21.

You can go too low.

 

[JoeyD]

 

[Knuckles]

Ugh. It's gonna look w**k if it goes even lower.

Its already borderline undrivable, what's a few more mm going to matter lol?

​

 

[sofaboy]

Looks miles better. I still say it needs a jadey/turquoise or maybe pink ghetto respray to finish it off

 

[sofaboy]

Oh and as Ed Edd and Eddy said. You can go too low. Raise the back and brink the front down

 

[welshname]

Ignore the southern manc fairies. North knows best and that front drivers coilover needs to go down.
