4RE Leather Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) There has always been good support for these in the past. If you could get a picture of his set up that would be good as the last one we had, some of the cars with low body kits could not get on the thing. Rollers would need a very long run up to get a veilside on or one with the coilovers slammed! Edited October 14, 2013 by 4RE Leather 1
Humpy Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Well I live in Winchester so it's way to far for me to travel to Would love to know what my car is running at. Can you say who the garage are? Shall we start a list... 1) SamN 2) Humpy Edited October 14, 2013 by Humpy
SamN Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Skuzzle Motorsport www.skuzzle.com/motorsport Nick (owner) specialises in mx5s but has a dyno and knows his stuff!! It's pretty awkward to get into his workshop but my old s14a was pretty low and got in fine. My Zed (only lowered 30mm on Eibach) obviously got in easily. A mates old Zed with a Nismo kit got in but there wasn't a huge amount of space under the splitter! He's had some pretty damn low cars in there. The main catch could be splitters on particularly low cars but I'll have a chat with him and see if he has any ideas if he thinks it may be close, if there is anyone with particular concerns.

Humpy Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Well I know who and where they are based now, they normally have a line of MX-5's lined up on the forecourt/parking area on the Stockbridge/Sparsholt road. Even closer to me then Edited October 14, 2013 by Humpy

We have been trying to get Brooklands350 forum member on here and owner of Brooklandkent in Swanley. To get his car on a dyno. Having looked at about 6 different setups his combination of non ajustable suspension and veilside kit makes it to wide and low to go on a roller set up. At japfest the portable setup even with extended ramps and supports, the front hit the ground as he had to reverse up. I know he is very keen to get it done, and the 112 Jap limit lifted.
4RE Leather Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 I myself am very interested but at the moment I am awaiting a replacement BOV as mine is sticking badly. It looks like the Boshe that they fit to the Porsche 911. If it's stripable I will use it. At the moment it's racing and the intercooler will burn your hand if ran to long stationary. Thanks to the kent Z shed and Brooklands for confirming the fault.
SamN Posted October 15, 2013 Author Posted October 15, 2013 Just found out my mates old Zed was pretty low on coilovers with a Nismo lip, so no real concerns unless anyone is literally on the floor!
Grundy Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 SamN, you restricting this to just Zed's? Or would you allow other Japs? If so may have a friend who will probably come, she's got a blue DC5
SamN Posted October 16, 2013 Author Posted October 16, 2013 Not at all! Anything/anyone invited, doesn't even have to be jap really! He can't cater for 4WD cars but all others welcome. More the merrier!
SamN Posted October 19, 2013 Author Posted October 19, 2013 No plan yet so can be whenever, it'll be a weekend day though. I'll get a list of potential dates once I have enough people.
andy james Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Count me in as would be interested to see what the old girl can do with the cobra exhaust I've just fitted. Also would be nice to catch up with some new faces.

Simon+Kat Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 This could be interesting, it just depends if it fits around my silly shift pattern and moving house at some point in the next few weeks. Please count me as provisionally 'in'.

Was running berk h/f cats,miltek y pipe with a k2 mid and back box. The Cobra makes a totally different sound now from the raspy sound before. Much quieter on start up and lower speeds, which is good for next door!but when you go for it you get an amazing deep roaring sound which really warbles like a v6 should! Pops and bangs on overrun which is nice too!
