More DFV Ohlins - different springs than normally comes with them, one of the rears has a leak, they bent the lower bit of one of the front shocks (or maybe 2) and they damaged one of the threads. Don't know if actually damaged or they're just being Japanese picky about it

Hopefully Customs clear all my crap so I can see what they're like...

Im sure there was a moment when it happened the guy thought "it" would be getting him up the arse!

-I can't see any damage to the front lip, he must have bottomed it out over something pretty nasty...

looks good, I especially like how the first line of the description is "One person's 'ding' is another person's 'bling'."

still trying to find the bling but I am sure its there somewhere

:D So stoked just hit the buy now and got myself two NA seats for my NA for $40 buy now.

Doesn't sound like a great replacement, but my drivers sear has a great big fucking metal bar sticking out of it hence the need for an orthopedic pad to 'numben' the bar.

I'm sure people thought I must have had a really bad back for a 20 y/o at the MX5 cruise looking at my seat with the orthopedic pad :lol:

Especially if the cage is aluminium. A lot of jap race cars use aluminium for their cages. MANZ outlawed that 12 - 15 years ago...

MSNZ's rules for roll bars are stupid. You cannot get a roll bar approved and keep your car 100% normal. having a legal MSNZ bar means losing your seatbelts or soft top and the 120cm bottom plate rule sucks! it was brought in as if you were mounting to a flat floorpan they just dont get the fact that the "shelf" around the mx seat belt towers are box section underneath and dont need a 120cm plate to spread the load. the main hoop aint gonna punch through that any day. it really fucks me off that roll bars that are SCCA approved and CAMS austrailia approved are illegal in NZ!!!WTF does new zealand have heavier gravity or something????
