Few more miles this weekend in the sun:) Decided to check all my suspension torque setting just to check every thing has remained tight. Spent more time going back to the manual to cross referencing torque setting than actually checking the bolts. So for the rear decided to draw a simple diagram that I refer to whilst working on the car. Have posted it below in case its any help to anyone else.  |

Ok, so Trident suggested that we have been up to something since our cars were IVA'd.
Sworn to secrecy for the next couple of days but think I'm allowed to share this with you.
Great day, guess more info to follow.

So nice weather over the weekend, which meant I was able to clock up a few more 'sunny' miles. All good stuff. So decided that I now want to concentrate on getting the best from my suspension set up. This is not an area I have any experience in but, think I have the basic right equipment on the car as a starting point, adjustable shocks, adjustable drop links. I just don't know how to go about playing with the set up. Therefore can anyone recommend a company or individual who I could go to? ideally within an hours drive of Oxford. Welcome any recommendations and will of course update everybody on progress. Thanks PS enjoyed reading about our car in Complete Kit Car magazine. 6 pages! and it would appear more to come  |

Wheels in Motion in Chesham are one of the best places to go for suspension set up. Tony Bones is a genius and knows an awful lot about MX5s. I had my MX5 set up by them when I lived in High Wycombe. Well worth a visit or maybe a phone call at the least. Hope that helps. They have their own forum too. Colin |

Thanks Any more suggestions anyone? |

I have just been reading you whole build and I got to say what an amazing job and car that you have built I would love to have my car like this.
Would you be able to build an Exocet and then sell on if i was interested. Dave

I'm guessing you would be better off buying a completed car. If you're really serious come and see me at Stoneleigh and make me a ridiculous offer. You never know I might be tempted? |
