Hi there,
I am from the United Kingdom and I just found this site and figured I'd sign up for it as having a look over some threads there seems to be a alot of technical posts and posts about performance modifications rather than making the car really low.
I have a 1990 UKDM Mx-5 (I've also owned a few JDM models, and recently sold a silver 1990 Roadster).
Its currently off the road as I am trying to finish it but I am busy with College/uni work so its on the back burner for a while. I am however good at procrastinating so whilst I am supposed to be working I am mostly buying parts online.
The current spec is as below:
Engine:
1.6 Mazdaspeed/M2-1001 engine Long crank
10:5:1 compression pistons

Racing beat 4-2-1 stainless manifold
Racing beat race mid pipe
Decat/test pipe
Racing beat cat back exhaust, single exit
MS Labs MS2 basic with AFM delete
Drive train:
3.9 torsen from a mk2.5 sport, a bit too long for my liking.
5 speed box (want to change to 6 speed eventually)
Chassis:
Spax PSX shocks with adjustable damping
ILM 40% stiffer rubber bushes
ILM 40% stiffer drop links

I am currently installing my MS2 and the AIT kit, I want to retain the stock airbox though so I need to make up a faux AFM to drop in its place. I am using the 1.8 airbox top though as its not as restrictive as the sharp 90' bend and square outlet of the 1.6 airbox. I will also run a pipe directly from the airbox inlet into the window screen void as in the randall in take.
Long term plans are to treat myself to some Jenvey throttle bodies and then enjoy the car.
Some pictures, everyone loves pictures.
