waiting on 2x toyo T1Rs now.

my one shock is fudged now and i dont know what to do... if i want to change it i will need a pair of shocks, but problem is 10th anniversary shocks are hard to get and expensive.

any ideas on coilivers lads? a good nice cheapish set, adjustuble too? i would like to try to lower my 5 a bit too.

Might have more to do with the current economic climate :( , not as many runs or tech days as we used to have in the past so the personal contact element is reduced . That's my reading of it anyhow.

Nice wheels!

Re forum login, try clearing your cache, I made a fix recently that seems to have fixed it for others.

gearbox and diff oil change yesterday.
Couldn't source "motorcraft", then discovered that Ford dealers sell it as "75w90 BO".
Gear change much improved after it (2nd gear cold crunch is gone too).

I'm not sure, bought them a good while ago.
MX5parts have them as a package though I see :
