Cheers man , its worked out near on perfect
Once the arches are rolled (end of the month)
it'll need another inch or so off the ride height to complete the

[youdirtyfox]

Archenemy booked for saturday 27th August to roll the arches!

[Josh]

looks dam Good! your tires are not stretched nearly as far as i thought they would be. very nice stance. i love it

[youdirtyfox]

Thanks Josh, yeah its not an extreme stretch at all really. Tyre fitter had no problem popping them on just right! but no rim protection at all

[marcdh]

Nice one! Makes it look very mx5 with rims like that. Not a bad thing to me Look forward to seeing the roll and drop

[youdirtyfox]

Aye popular rim on the mx5's is the sport max 002 for its 0 offset. These are very similar

Will take a few pictures saturday hopefully when He get's going on the arches....

[mx-3_4evr]

needs more slammed lol! Lower it about 1-1.5" more and it would look even better. Take side pics too of the whole car

[youdirtyfox]

Too low and it will be inpracticle for a daily driver
Pic request noted

[cWs306]

lowing it another 1-1.5" inches would make it a show car... lol. and i am now looking a set of rims similar to your dirtyfox. but there ALL black. no chrome. ill get a picture soon here.

[youdirtyfox]

There is still 4.5" from the ground the underside of my wind splitter at the front
so speedbumps arent really a problem at the minute, aslong as you go slow and dont brake too hard before hand, so ive got a bit to play with! more worried about the oil pan if anything...

No chrome on my rims, just lovely machined aluminium. Look forward to seeing what rims you are contemplating on

[puromx3]

really nice work! im loving it
hey where did you buy the plastic to make the front wind splitter?

[youdirtyfox]

Thanks Bro, its something im loving doing This car is probaly going to be my last outing into heavily modifying a motor and is third time lucky so Im going a bit ott here and there while ive got the chance to.

Was real lucky to find that large piece of plastic protecting a sheet of expensive alloy on a pallet at work, to do the splitter. Its flexible and doesnt shatter under force, it just folds. I would really like to know what exact plastic it is, but I dont sorry.

The only material I could find that was cheap off ebay ,without going to plastic manaf. was acrylic perspex in black, but I dont know if that would shatter under and impact?

[puromx3]

alright cool man thanx i appreciate it.
n looking foward to how your build ends up

[youdirtyfox]

Had all the tyres changed over and the new wheels put on. Roll of the arches tommorow and drop if I can be bothered too on a bank holiday
Its funny now the tyres have been stretched there is a one finger arch/tyre gap, before it was 2! Another 15mm drop would see no gap at all.

Very nice car. Love the way it sits and the body is very clean.
