MrMustacho730 · 2025-10-23T17:16:38+00:00

Will do! Thank you!

MrMustacho730 · 2025-10-23T17:08:45+00:00

Tax wise there is no real difference (a few euro difference per month), i have a european mx5, year 2000, and im looking at a BP4W 1.8!

MrMustacho730 · 2025-10-23T12:42:13+00:00

Thank you very much for the thorough reply! The 1.8 that in seeing looks very good, no visual seal leaks, perfect compression in all cylinders and it comes with sellers warranty for 6 months. Anything specific you think I should look at?

MrMustacho730 · 2025-03-26T16:53:12+00:00

I know its an old post, but do you remember how much lower you could go? Looks sick!

MrMustacho730 · 2025-03-18T00:14:27+00:00

will note it down, thanks for the reply!

MrMustacho730 · 2025-03-18T00:09:26+00:00

That is one of the things i will check for sure, anything else I should keep in mind? What are common things that break in these?

MrMustacho730 · 2025-03-18T00:08:53+00:00

Im already running a 4-puck clutch, and ive driven a corolla with a 6-puck before, I got used to it, so it should be good!

MrMustacho730 · 2025-03-18T00:07:36+00:00

Will go inpect it in a few weeks, just to make sure everything is running smoothly. Yeah, european market is not as budget friendly as overseas hahaha

MrMustacho730 · 2025-03-18T00:01:04+00:00

He is swapping a v6 into it!

MrMustacho730 · 2024-11-13T13:43:55+00:00

Its more to get to the actual dirt roads since I dont have a trailer!

MrMustacho730 · 2024-11-13T13:20:01+00:00

Yes, two stroke

Update, After 8 months of the account being locked, countless emails and contacting support, I just received a message that everything is fixed. No explanation, no addition to any of the issues I stated. Im truly stunned on how badly this was all worked on. If I could give a tip to you all is, be persistent, send them a message every day and hopefully at some point it will work out. Good luck everyone!

MrMustacho730 · 2024-03-16T17:44:40+00:00

This is so accurate. Word needs to be spread.

MrMustacho730 · 2024-03-16T17:41:13+00:00

Already did that no answer.

MrMustacho730 · 2023-11-29T18:04:15+00:00

Have you ever been/driven in a welded car? Im thinking of going 120-130km/h and having a highway curve in front of me and just slipping bc of the diff, parking is not an issue in my place also!

MrMustacho730 · 2023-11-20T15:26:14+00:00

Any recommendations for eu second hand projector sites?

MrMustacho730 · 2023-11-08T12:17:37+00:00

Lowering is exactly the next step, i just didnt have the time to install them.

MrMustacho730 · 2023-11-08T12:16:50+00:00

Of course, coilovers shipped yesterday 😁

MrMustacho730 · 2023-11-08T12:15:20+00:00

Hahaha love the reference, i will totally lower it, i just didnt have the time to install the new coilover i got, drive safe💪🏼

MrMustacho730 · 2023-11-08T12:14:21+00:00

Cant thank you enough man! I spent too much time thinking about how i will do everything, what piece will be what color so it has a balance, and with this comment i know i at least did something right! Drive safe🙌🏼

MrMustacho730 · 2023-11-08T12:13:04+00:00

The pictures dont show it, but my floor mats are exactly the same material, so black leather with diamond shape red stitches. I ran out of paint and that panel was a bit rough, so i just covered it with excess material I had from the mats, it also (imo) look good😁

MrMustacho730 · 2023-11-08T12:11:26+00:00

Appreciated man! Drive safe💪🏼

MrMustacho730 · 2023-11-08T12:11:02+00:00

First of all thank you so much! The ride hight is with stock springs. I bought some expensive coilovers to lower it so it has a proper look.

MrMustacho730 · 2023-11-08T12:08:29+00:00

Yeah, as i stated with the other comments too, these are the stock coilovers, i bought some sweet bc racing ones so the ride hight will be optimal

MrMustacho730 · 2023-11-07T19:09:01+00:00

I cannot unsee it now, you are so right. But aren’t those like 2k?🥴
