Not an April Fools joke: I want an ND MX-5 so bad

I'm honestly on the fence about getting out of my lease and into the MX5

if the FRS/BRZ is considered 'under powered' then the MX5 will be much worse...
it looks cool, but I am disappointed with the engine choices from Mazda.

First thing first a check alignment before new rubber goes on! All the side way action does throw the alignment off over time. Thanks Armando!

Picked up my OFH from the ceramic coating shop at lunch time. I'll post some pics when I get home.

Looks like I will be under the car most of tomorrow.

What coil overs should I go with when installing 18 * 9.5 wheels all arround ?

jvincent · 04-02-2015, 02:04 PM

Most should be OK depending on the wheel offset and how much camber you end up running.

It's likely to have less HP, but the torque looks to be about the same. Since it's lighter than the twins, it might feel a bit more spirited around town. If an Alfa is released using the same platform it will interesting to see what engine(s) they use.

My biggest complaint is that it's a convertible. Been there, done that.

Which duck bill spoiler do you have? Maybe it's just the angle, but looks like the most aggressive one I've seen.

going with +38 offset and want it to be adjustable of course depends on Ottawa road conditions

jvincent · 04-02-2015, 06:20 PM

Should be fine, but I'd double check the wheel directory to see what other people's experiences have been.

jvincent · 04-02-2015, 07:46 PM

OK, as promised, here are some pics. Shiny!

Goes on the car tomorrow, so that's the last I'll see of it.

Is that why it's called "Good Friday"?

Saw your car this morning. It reminded me of track days ahead.

Also saw @KingGeo at work today. I was pretty surprised!
