I just thought i would you show you the garage where she is housed and the next big project on the cards another V-spec roadster that needs a good bit of work but should come together nicely.I would like to build something a bit different with this one but not sure what to do any suggestions on what to build would be handy.

Ya the pitcrew kit would be sweet but as Ash has said pricey and rare.I am definitely thinking wide arches as one of the rear quarters was badly repaired with fibreglass at some point and will need cutting out and replacing anyway.I have been following madaboutmx5s pitcrew roadster on nuts and it looks fantastic now.I dont know why my father and i bought this car as it was in a real state and we havent driven it alot so is a unknown quantity but we couldnt find it in are hearts to break it up and crush it but now i wish we had as we spent nearly a month alone removing rust from underneath the car and every shock and spring was snapped and busted,rad and waterpump pissing everywhere.manifold blowing.exhaust hanging off but the engine seemed to be running fairly sweet no tappets or knocking at all.

Hi guys, well i have been waiting a while to raise the car up a little as i found the Eibach springs a little to low for the moon surfaced roads around this part of the country so i purchased some Flyin Miata springs from the states and for extra comfort in the rear some very tasty Flyin Miata shock mounts which give you around 15-20mm more travel in the rear a hell of alot in Mk1s.
They were purchased of the incredible,awesome BlackBullet in England which some on here will be aware of.My question is whats the craic with the bumpstops he supplied and will they suit my spring and shock combo which is AGXs.

Thanks Ash, Ash didnt you have these on your car before?
Should i use these or OEM gear and if i use them should i buy a set for the front?I trial fitted them on the old shocks i removed last year and they dont seem to go all the way down over shaft on the top of the shock is this normal or do you be a bit more persuasive.
Sorry for all the questions just want to get this suspension sorted so i can enjoy my car again.
