During the night, I'm going to sneak into your garage, and wind your suspension down.

And.

I'm going to lick it.

lol good luck :D rear is as low as it goes - for some reason collar is hitting the drive shaft and front can't go lower because I will scrape out of my road. Plus I don't really want to go stance on it :) should've gone for wider tyres but will kill these first.

tell me about it! guess its not his first time :o I keep trying to understand why my exhaust tip is so clean.
 
MX5Parts have 10% off atm. Going to pick up new SS exhaust bits all the way through on the 5 as current one isn't in that great shape.

So if it's a set of discs and pads, a service kit or a shiny new exhaust you need, you'll find it all at our website with at least 10% off the normal RRP. What's more, by ordering this weekend, all in-stock items will arrive* before the Easter Bank Holiday.

Thanks, had a nice run on the way home via the "scenic" route ;)

Got a few subtle mods planned when funds allow, first things first it needs a ruddy good clean inside and out!
 
New SS backbox.. gradually going to replace it all but its quite expensive so just one bit at a time :)

Looks like fun :cool:

Which road was that? I'm in the neck of the woods in May and have been planning my drive home to include some lovely Welsh roads.

E: just seen you said south Wales, I'll be Snowdon way so perhaps not for this year's trip!
 
Depends what you want to do with it, and your expectations on budget, also consider a step up to 215/45/17 for more options at a more favourable price if doing all 4. Plenty of choice, no right or wrong answer really, a list of what I might choose there are adequate cheaper alternatives.

Road
Continental Premium Contact 6
Michelin Pilot Sport 4 ( would be first choice but having experienced a few deflations on these, not sure I could recommend for longevity)
Yokohama V105S

Halfway house
Yokohama AD08R

Track
Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2
Toyo R888R
Nangkang AR1

Not a fan of the eagle f1 a3? I was considering it for my 3.5
 
Weird that the 215 is cheaper, do you have these fitted @sandys ?

I'll probably be changing all 4 of mine this year so am considering this.

What are the pros and cons?

Would my geo settings get messed up because of it?
