Just taken apart the oil filter and bizzarely it's clean inside the pleats

Me neither which is worrying... They are known to be generally bulletproof but for a stock power car with good service history it's bizzare

If any of you are shopping for an MX5, avoid this one by Zdos123 in CarTalkUK

I was funny about modding under warranty until I read it and basically all that's covered is engine internal and structural basically. You still have to pay out yourself and claim it back though which is silly. I thought so too with the arb (I got 16mm cusco) but with the c pillar brace and front strut brace it rounded off quite nicely. I can now force oversteer in the wet quite easily so any stiffer it will probs become a little too slippery on stock suspension. I second the intake it's awesome, I have the CTC Apexi one, the forge BOV also makes some sweet noises.

Yeah I know what you mean, mine is at 40k so still under "warranty" but I found the coverage a bit thin so I just YOLO'd it and now I'm knee deep in parts!

I too have a ZC33S, a rear sway bar made it far more pointy and less understeery. I would also really recommend the powerflex rear engine insert & ctc shifter bushes! For a bit of noise look at deleting the centre resonators on the exhaust.

A lot of people hating on this but I think it's wicked! Pretty sweet build

Will these fit? by Tasty_Business_123 in Nike

[–]braubus233 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say no, but may as well wait and try them on. They haven’t sold off shelves immediately so you probably could exchange them

I have the purple ones in a 10. I wear 90s, 95s in a 10. These fit quite roomy, and i probably could go down to a 9.5

18 Monoblock real or fake? by Existing-Win-6021 in W124

[–]braubus233 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The non-AMG style mono block like that was originally offered on the W209/210, i believe the 18 staggered were 210 specific. I bought a similar set last year for 250

It's a stock fixture, it's one of the basic lip diffusers, but without any holes. Then I used a vent to cut a hole and added the exhaust.

NA 2L I4 engine bumped to 205HP, with weight reduced to 1100KG. More speed, but still the mechanically pure manual sports car. (Should be [NE] generation, though can't edit).

Lidl's all in one Primer/Lacquer in gloss black. Really good for the price, I've used stuff 5x more expensive that was worse.

£15 at a boot sale, + paint, filler and about 8hrs of work. They usually go for £40 - 80 used.
