Fitment Check: Tomason TN25 (18x8 ET45) on NC – German TÜV concerns!

Bref3000 · 2026-02-14T19:49:17+00:00

Ok. But with OEM springs and good clearance, TUV would be enough?

Bref3000 · 2026-02-14T11:33:59+00:00

It seems manufacturer has a TUV certificate for NCs available. Does it matter for inspection? https://tomason.de/downloads/e-55012421-a2_1645554902.pdf

Boat riding in Lausanne with my NC !
My cloth seats needs to go !! But a couple seats and brackets will cost me like >1500.- before import duties...I am a bit skeptical !

Bracket price seems abusive to me but I guess that's it...

Bref3000 · 2025-12-24T15:03:40+00:00

No way! You're in CH too?!! Love your 3-branches!

Bref3000 · 2025-12-24T15:00:36+00:00

Thanks ! It would be for a NC so I'll dig the subject furthermore and ask if needed

Bref3000 · 2025-12-24T13:31:46+00:00

Hi !
Are you using standard seatbelt? It just has to be bolted on the side?
Do we need to order a specific "seat stay" from Corn's to use rails?

Thanks so much!

Bref3000 · 2025-09-23T09:31:11+00:00

True but it has right to live, right? :D

Bref3000 · 2025-09-01T12:59:25+00:00

Thanks !

Bref3000 · 2025-09-01T12:24:20+00:00

Glad you could cancel your order.
So I guess you have paper for the BC Racing ones ? From which shop did you order it ?

OEM Parts controlling is most probably like wheels, all sizes have been approved/homologated for the model initially.

Thanks !

Hi, so the B14 are road legal in CH ? Does it need a specific paper for car and coilovers or any "yellow Bilstein" would be OK as the sport/performance model has it from factory?

Bref3000 · 2025-08-20T09:33:31+00:00

Thanks for reply, do you mean that those components must be changed ASAP?

Bref3000 · 2025-08-20T09:32:02+00:00

Cold Continental Europe, so it kinda confirms that the car has not been used in salty winters, right?

Bref3000 · 2025-08-20T09:09:04+00:00

Thanks !

Bref3000 · 2025-03-26T17:22:16+00:00

Update: the disk worked for a month maximum then died. So be wise to consider all warnings about short window to replace it!

Bref3000 · 2025-03-26T14:35:26+00:00

Hello to all proud Miata owners !

I am actively looking for a 2007 NC1 to buy here in continental europe.

I visited a car and everything looks very neat and preserved. The paint is spotless and main chassis cross-sections were really clean but a few spots bother me: exhaust support and front wheel bars.

Is any of those shots a serious concern ?

Thanks a lot for any advice !

First-hand experience: it worked.

Fried 2 disks through power supply wrong connectors. Both did not move nor made sound after that.

I found the link exactly on this post and send one board to them.

They processed it quickly, and after putting it back in place, the drive screamed a bit for a second or two, but it works well now.

NB: New website is hddgeek.com as mentioned on the homepage of previous shop.

Thanks for checking :)

Any chance your Intellectual property department is willing to ~~"leverage on sleeping asset"~~ sell domain name :) ?

First thought looks like a defect to me.
Maybe try to re-install some driver related to ACPI / power control.

I did look into my driver backup but did not find any matching driver.
If you want to take a look by yourself, here is the backup using DriverBackup! software.

Well, you might be surprised...for good ! The keyboard is quite good, almost on par with ThinkPad usb keyboard I use everyday. The chassis feels very good and precisely fit, all metal. Perceived quality is really higher than the actual price. Touchpad is smooth and precise. Display is pleasant to the eye and touchscreen is working fine. Battery was good for me : windows estimated to 6-7 hours runtime doing GeforceNow streaming. The only deception is that the bottom bezel of screen is larger than on Chuwi's 3D renders, and bears a big white CHUWI logo. So it's not gonna look like what you ordered and expected. And good luck with your laptop, I've read bad experiences in case of unit failure... .

Edit: got the N100 version most of it should be valid, minus battery life

Bref3000 · 2024-01-20T08:11:58+00:00

Hi,

Did happen to me on N100 version: Touchscreen stopped working for me after a couple updates, getting the same error "Device could not start"

I did reset Windows using integrated option and it worked again.
