Was just looking through your MX5 pics on FB, very nice :cool:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Had a little road trip to WIM today with another mx5 owner off the hairdresser forum. Job done on Alex's car but mine has a stuffed upper ball joint which means I'll have to fix that and take it back to have the set up finished. Got to hand it to the guys at WIM though, top service and they said they'll finish my car off when I take it back and still apply the November forum discount.

Shows how low mine is over standard:

























Level wishbones, schweet!

Think it's just the way I'm parked. Looks level normally.
