    I bought the lenses because during races, I usually have a hard time looking at my tachometer.

    Now no more blinding glare, I can actually see the needle and numbers

    EDFC install

    20190331_133732 by marlonmercado77, on Flickr

    EDFC motors mounted on Autoexe 3pt. front strut bar

    20190331_132630 by marlonmercado77, on Flickr

    EDFC motors mounted on Beatrush/Laile rear strutbar. Here I had to modify a bit the strut bar. Shaved about 2 inches off the metal portion to accommodate the motors. After everything has been done, fits nicely

    After more than five years, my Tein Type Flex coilovers had to be overhauled. I dismantled them to check for the extent of damage. But surprisingly they're fairly in a good state, despite harsh conditions of street and track use.

    after install, pre load and a week of settling the springs this is the ride height. Its a compromise between road clearance, ride comfort and track use.

    Ever since, I regretted selling my 2nd Mazdaspeed Type II spoiler. I manage to track down another one and decided to keep it. But not until I made it better...well just lighter

    You just keep raising the bar, Marlon! Roadster is looking fantastic!! The difference that Revlimiter's lenses make cannot be appreciated fully until having seen both in person, such a fantastic upgrade! And at $49, iirc ATM, a great price!

    Fantastic work Marlon!! I've been waiting on that rear spoiler for a while, still remember reading your posts about how common the MS body kits were in the Philipines and imaginging there's a treasure trove hidden away over there somewhere. Car looks exceptional! Any early assessment of the EDFC?

    For me this is a must for the miata, not only that you take advantage of the 16 way adjustments of the Tein Flex, it's a convenient way to adjust compression/rebound on the fly especially the rear struts where there's a lot to remove on the driver's side just to access the knob.

    Before I get too lazy to make adjustments even on the front struts because you have to pop the hood, adjust the L & R. Same goes with the rear, remove the metal covering the gas lines, then adjust L & R. Repeating this method was too taxing.

    Now, I get to "fine tune" the adjustment to my liking depending on the road condition without ever leaving the driver seat. You can tell right away when you adjust the settings from the EDFC how the coilovers respond. Unlike before you can't tell the difference when you manually adjust since you've stopped and forgot how the coilovers feel at that time you wanted adjustment.

    Highly recommend this product. There are a ton of them right now in eBay

    I 100% agree I have them on the eunos and they feel so dam good. and the ability to feel that change in your adjustments blows me away.
