Work and Play


A new look for the grey ghost... $21


and a fun drive... topless of course.


New electrical tape eyelids


 Then under the bonnet


I had to cut some holes in the strut bar to get to the adjustable MCA tops. Now I can click and test. 


Start... silver.


add plasti-dip...

go for Tuff.




and head to the mountains


Embrace the feelings.


Mountain road handling is awesome.

Highway... cavitation on Aussie concrete roads... not so great  the wheelbase and road concrete section length seems to be an issue.

MCA Blue Plus


What a day!

Thanks to the guys at Mufflers to the Max

First job was MCA Blue shock install. <insert RAVE REVIEW HERE>

Of course there was a 1 inch drop and a slight change to suggested rear click to remove some harshness. But the car is now so planted and it's lost it's super pitch and dive that 200000klm shocks had


Then there's the muffler. Super short rear muff changed to a single. Not loud at all but aurally superb.

The character of the car has changed so much. I think it's even better than my previous RHT with Ohlins DFV.

Loving the NC.

For about $11,500AUD so far. I couldn't ask for a bigger smile.

Before:


Origididge Check out that Stroke and Drooop!


Insert MCA Blue.


Mufflers to the Max ! Champions!  Check that old HIUGE Muffler.



New stealth Single.


 Ride height so far...


I still have the issue of my driveway having a spoeed bump and a hump. So I can't go too low.

But his still allows the RX8/NCEC suspension to work. Long stroke sus on these cars is designed for point to point awesomeness.

Huge thanks to M.Frener. Xmas Present coming.
