Coilovers!

Well it's time for the big reveal!
My beautiful candy red Scale Innovative Series Coilovers!





Also that is one of my new rear camber arms that I unfortunately had to order off eBay because at the time, I couldn't find any Megan Racing ones in stock, or if they were, they wouldn't ship to Australia..
Thankfully, they are mostly just going to be a way for me to make up a jig so I can make my own in the future as these are incredibly heavy and I'm not sure how much I trust them ahaha.

Thanks man I'm really happy with how they came out!
Not sure if I'm 100% happy with the black barrels but they should help keep them looking clean as brake dust and so on would just be far too obvious on white or silver

Update!

Nothing like a perfect Sunday to get to work on your new exhaust tips and finalise your turbo fan mould drawings!



I'm going for a sort of drift pipe/shot gun look with slightly angled up, staggered tips, I'm still new to welding but thankfully I have my brother in law guiding me through the whole thing. Sadly I haven't bought a TIG yet so it's all being done in MIG.. Exhaust will be 2" stainless from the headers back. I'm going to put a flagged section in there so I can take the cat out and put it back in should I ever get defected and need a Vehicle inspection. Still unsure about putting a small muffler in there or something to tone it down a tad as I'm not 100% in love with the sound of straight piped 1.6's ahaha.

My Engineering friend - Alex Ostojic came down to help me out with drawing my turbo fan mould design up in CAD. I originally started drawing the plans in Illustrator with the idea to have them laser cut and welded together in Aluminium but having had a lot of interest in them on Facebook I decided the best way to go about it would be to make a mould and build fans entirely out of carbon fibre. Lighter, stronger, easier to fix, and a hell of a lot sexier in my opinion!
The mould I designed basically allows me to make the fans for any wheels from 15-18" wheels and with lips up to 6" deep. So instead of buying a set online and hoping they fit, we can literally make them to fit your wheels EXACTLY how you want them too.
It sucks that they aren't genuine BBS fans, I know, but finding a set in Australia is verging on impossible and the last set I saw online for sale were $2300USD and before I had even checked my account, they were sold. So this for now is my best and only option!
Don't get mad though, they will not bear any BBS stickers, 100% our own, no reps here



Also here's a small look at my growing pile of parts!



I don't think I mentioned earlier, but in case you are wondering like so many of my friends, why I've got all the parts and they aren't on the car yet? Well I really wanted to make a cool video of my build and try to put the entire thing together in 1 weekend with a bit of a time lapse and so on. It seemed like a really cool idea in my head, whether it works or not is another story!

Plus it's now verging on Winter here and show season is a while away. I'm hoping to have the car together by early October in time for WTAC and 100mm which I've wanted to go to for A LONNNGG time but for whatever reason, have missed out on every year so far. This time I will be ready!

is that a bottle of NOS ?

also this will be nice to see at WTAC and 100mm

Nice to see another miata on here. those rear adjustable upper arms smash the rear frame if you're too low.
i'd look at the flyin' miata the paco motorsports arms are amazing.

Yes, yes it is aha. I got very bored of the power very quickly, a NOS kit was a lot cheaper than turboing the car

Ahh really? Will look into that when I get to it!
How are you getting so much camber on the front of yours?! Your car looks amazing, and I thought my dish was deep ahaha!

whiteline offsetbushings! i'm 1-1.5" offground and have 7 degrees upfront, -5 to -9 adjustability.

Holy crap, that's amazing! Gonna have to look into those!
I was considering the Garage Star Extended Lower Ball Joints but I'll have to look into the whiteline bushings too now. Your fitment is beautiful!

[ExpelI]

id say those balljoints are easier, these bushings just have been on market far longer and thats only reason i bought them haha.

Yeah I think I might try the ball joints, look interesting, and they aren't overly expensive, might as well get them and give a few people my opinions on them!
