New NA8 from NZ

[MikeA]

Hi All

Been lurking for too long so I thought I'd change that. Silverstone with black interior, '94 NA8 which is pretty much standard. She's fairly tidy with 145xxxkm.

I'll probably go for an understated cafe racer look over time.

Another New Zealander, cool! Another NZ NA8, awesome!

Thanks guys.

Cheers — Joelioooo —, I'm catching up with your build thread right now. I also looked at a LB before deciding on the SS. Any issues getting 4x114.3 adapters certed. I'm over searching for decent 4 x 100's.

Hey Mike, first of all, are you on facebook? Maybe join the NZ MX5 page if you are. But on to your question, I haven't got the adapters certed yet, as of now it is very close to being ready but what you MUST look out for are adapters that are hub centric. They have to fit snugly over the spigot, you also must have hubcentric rings for the adapter to wheels, lastly the amount of thread remaining on the original studs must be a certain amount, general rule of thumb is being able to turn the slim nuts that hold the adapter into place a minimum of 7 full rotations. There are uncommon cases where you won't need to worry about that but the majority of people running adapters have to cut the original studs for the wheels to sit flush against the adapter

Thanks Malibu Q, and looking forward to your migration to SS. You need to keep the Malibu though ;).

Cheers Joel. Yep, there is a right way of running adapters.
