When it is painted metallic silver with red leather seats I think it will be a real looker ! hopefully I can keep it out of the barriers.

That's a nice job you are doing there.
I've never looked at the MX5 suspension before, what's the bar do that is attached to the lower arm with the short connection link and then passes through the chassis ?

Very nice work! Good to see how low it can go.
What was your source for the springs and dampers?
