Quote from Osco :

There's no need to calculate roll centres, front roll couple and 'ideal' springrates, as there are many spreadsheets with already-done calculations available for various combinations of shocks and springs. I didn't feel like re-inventing the wheel, so to speak.

hang on so youve decided to entrust the driveability of your car and considering youre driving it on track your own safety into the hands of some random people from the internet who have posted excel files on the web without bothering to recheck their calculations yourself?

This thread is severely lacking in burnout pics.

What if the manufacturer published them?

Why even care what he did to his car? Man if he likes it the way it is let him alone its not your car and you don´t have to drive it.

As a matter of fact, I have I'm not however using whatever a random person has calculated from the top of is head. The guy I'm speaking of is pretty good at what he's doing and I know for a fact that many, many people have used his expertise before and he is well known in the miata world, so to speak. It's been proven to work, both on street and on track. Looky here for an example I'm speaking of:

Well the only update I can give you right now is that I just bought the MtechI steering wheel

Went for a hills run in mates FC Rx-7 last night
scariest run i've ever been on...definatly re-assured me i want an FC as my second car.

Was quite funny, when we hit a decent sized bump it would flick the lights on and off...slightly scared when you're approaching a tight corner at high speeds LOL

then the right light ended up blowing...

Still pushed it hard though

u gotta video tape these things

haha yeah
i usually take my video camera along whenever i got on specific drives, but this was a last minute decision

was at a mates 18th, they bailed to go to a club and we both didnt have money on us, so went home but took a detour through the hills because we were down that way anyway

i want my license

and always keep your money on you like me

y not FD as second car? i don't like the FC as much

Because i'm not made of money...

Don't have $25000-$35000 to spend on a second car.

It was nice and sunny yesterday, still bloody freezin tho lol but nevertheless, i was bored, so polish time, and now, shiny shiny!

You should lower it

And why would he want to make the car more Impractical than it already is? Keep it as it is IMO. I doubt he wants to make the same mistake as Osco and make his car look daft.

looks like you need LYNCE's revolution pack, cause that shine is not very shiny

no im not mocking lynce, i admite him and his work very much

I'm jealous. I wanted to give both cars a good wash after work since it was a beautiful 50 F out. But all this 45-50 degree weather has only melted the snow down to where it is only 15 inches deep in the yard and the driveway is a sheet of ice because the house blocks the sun.

March I get antsy for cleaning the cars up after the winter, but there's always too much snow laying around yet.

kk fine

Got a 1997 Golf GTi, Well my dad has as a second car but if im lucky I may get insured on it

Prefer a mk2 but its growing on me

Quote from brandons48 :

I may do at some point, but not a majorly large amount, 40mm max, as my mate bought his one as it is and its on the fookin floor, scrapes his sump every time he comes to mine, pic courtesy of autorader, its the car he bought in the end...



So no, i dont want it that low, as its just too much to be practical as nathan rightly points out, although his car isnt bumpy bouncy all over the place strangely, which is usually what happens when you slam a car too much, it has stiff and precise handling, but it doesnt pop up and down like the front axle is on a pogo stick like your average burberry encrusted saxo would!
