Eibach springs and anti-roll (sway) bars for NC

[Charlie Brown]

Ahhhhhh

Don't do it Nhoj.

You can get the Eibach springs from MX5 Mania for just under $400 or the Kings I have for less than that.

The Eibach sways can be imported from Brian Goodwin Racing in the US for just under AU$500 depending on exchange rate and including import duty (if they charge you). You could also buy the springs from Brian and save on transport costs, probably end up paying only $850 for springs and bars.

Pedders are spinning you a yarn.
There is no cross member. Stear clear of them.
Time to fit the springs is about 45 minutes per corner, you can do the bars yourself in under two hours or if done with the springs about 45 minutes total for both.

As for Eibach Australia, well the less said the better.

Depending where you are in Sydney, ring Heasmans at Sydenham or Wholesale Suspension at Penrith.

...BTW, there has been quite a lot of discussion in miata.net on the AEM CAI ..

Do you have any photos of the system installed?

The AEM intake achieves better breathing by using a much higher flowing velocity stack conical filter placed directly in the flow of cool air in the "mouth" of the Miata.

I'd be interested to see just how/where it fits. Here in W.A. cowl CAI's are the best choice as we get a lot of radient heat off the roads in Summer. I'd also be keen to see what they do to avoid heat soak off the radiator.

Can I be even more demanding and ask for a front on photo with the CAI installed?

I don't understand why they added the last 30cm of pipe.

It looks prime for a I.L. Motorsport style CAI.

more air = more fuel great when you got $1.40/L prices

Nah, cool air = denser fuel air ratio not more fuel but more efficient performance fuel.
The NC has great fuel economy anyway. I got 6.2 ltrs/100kms without trying on the run to Natmeet.

is that highway run?
i get avg 9.75L/100km on city. Pissin me off cuz its so exp.

Yes and no.
Peak hour traffic crawl for an hour and a half. Freeway run for another hour and a half. Then Buckeys Way, mixture of flat and very hilly country road to Walcha and onto Armidale, all with another 6 MX5s driving as only MX5s should be drive. The car was fully laden. Not one square centimetre of space left in the boot. I didn't drive to conserve fuel but to have fun, so getting into the 5.**/100klms would be easily possible if you wanted to.
Around the city in peak hour traffic I get around 9.0 +/- 0.1 normally which is about 1ltr/100klm better than I could in the NB and the NA.
