Hi everyone,

i am new here, so thought i would introduce my self.
My name is Gert Van der Stappen, born in Belgium, live in the Netherlands and 29 years of age.

i own 2 MX5. A white NA 1.6 automatic and a Green NBFL (NB 2001) 1.8 SVT (think VVT is the same?).

Here are some pictures:

lowered with a Raceland coilover set for the time being, witch i bought new for €140. I am saving for a better setup, but for now it does the job ;)

This is how the car is now. Could not get it lower though, the rings of the coilover are rusted stuck...

Wheels are XXR 513 16x8 Gun Metal 4-100/114.3

It will get fender flares, and of course it will still go lower! :)

At the moment i am busy with a supercharger setup. It is a twin screw supercharger kit from kenne bell. it includes a water to air intercooler, 550CC injectors, but is missing a piggy back system (computer is broken). So i am trying to find a good system to replace it. Or since i have a powercard pro and timing card from moss i will trade my injectors for 330cc (save some costs)


Well that was a quick introduction... :rolleyes:

Welcome. Glad to have you here.

Nice cars. Remember, we have a kit for the 1.6L now as well.

i know but it is my girlfriends daily, and she does not want the extra horsepower ;)

I am already having difficulty trying to convince her that it should be lowered.... :)

I agree with her on half of it. Leave it stock height but she is wrong about the extra power. :)
