Welcome. Keep an eye out for a few members here from the Netherlands, a couple from Germany as well.

What do you think about the racelands so far?
|
I was actually sent here by some Dutch poeple ;)
About the raceland coilovers, i think for the money they drive good. But i have heard, that they brake fast.... |
Welcome to the forum. It is good that we have members from so many countries. I agree that the 16 inch wheels must be replaced. They are not attractive at all. And 16 inch wheels will usually make you slower than 15 inch wheels because the weight is further out from the center of the wheel. Also they often weigh more than 15s of the same width.
Do you plan to install a turbo soon? |
Well i am actually doubting between a turbo setup or a Supercharger...
Since it is a daily drive, i am leaning towards the supercharger. Also i am getting 16" x 8J rims, so no 15". just like the looks better ;) |
Is there actually more poeple from the netherlands here? ;)

A small turbo is much better than a supercharger. Better fuel economy, more power potential, easier to upgrade, more choices for upgrades, and they last longer if used correctly. Search for threads by Spookyfish about his experiences driving a turbo MX-5 on the street and tracks in the Netherlands and throughout Europe.

hit up spooky for some trackminded turbo action in holland. I'm just here to scavenge deals and pass time ;)

Yes, it looks much better with the cap off.

Well my dad's rims are going back in a few weeks, so ordered my new rims for the NBFL today!!! :mrgreen:
XXR 513 16x8J offset 0 Tyres: 205/16/40 I might have them sprayed bronze.... http://www.nlmotoring.com/v/vspfiles...51357089-3.jpg And these are the updates that are coming soon: - Harddog M2 Hard Core Hardtop ROLLBAR (will be orderd next week) - Jackson Racing MP45 Supercharger (In negotiations) - spoiler set (ordered) |
Go turbo. More power for less money.
A zero offset 16x8 wheel? Do you know how that will fit? Have you seen a MX-5 with that size? |
Yep fits, seen several with the same rims! :)
And if not, we will make them fit... hahahaha :naughty: About the supercharger, its a daily, so therefore i prefer the specs of this setup. maybe in the future, when this is not my daily anymore, i will change to a turbo setup. |
So it has been a while

Wow that rollbar and door bar looks terrible.
You need bigger spreader plates and someone that can weld to clean up those joints. |
