195 60 15 will probably rub everywhere...and look terrible. 195 55 15 would be the go, although they will still only get you 3% 'correction' By worn speedo I meant the unit in the gauge cluster, lower resistance in the spring thingy. When you checked it against a GPS was it the same % out at 100kmh?...

I'd head into Megatyre in Browns Bay.

Check out the Hankook V12 Evo K110, S1 Evo K107 or the S1 Evo2 K117 if they're got them.

Teo Plus are a comfort/touring tyre. More emphasis on quieter ride and longer mileage, although shouldn't be disastrous grip wise.

If you are interested in the front spoiler it may pay to confirm with them if it is actually fiberglass - they seem to list "f/g with black gel coat" on every body part listing. Most of the GV replica lips on Ebay seem to be polyurethane, and I'd guess he sources them through the same people as thos...

Although stock intakes are often orientated towards noise reduction, and I don't think you could label any factory MX5 engine as tuned for power.
