![]() But the car felt much more predictable and stable at all times. And I must say the car felt better then it had ever felt, we went a little aggressive with the alignment, so in the beginning I felt the car push a little more. ![]() So we were back out at Atlanta Motorsports Park with the new bracing and new shock. At first I was ok with leaving it on, but I am looking to get the OEM Protege 5 bumper and MSP lip resprayed and repaired, I think I prefer the aggressive bumper a little more. But with it it gives it a nice clean look. Without the front lip its a pretty boring and weird looking bumper. So I got a Protege sedan front bumper with the optional and rare front lip off my friends Alex’s Protege. Next step I wanted to update the front end and get rid of the beat up bumper and front lip. Its impossible to see, but the old shock was slightly bent enough to cause issues with the driver side camber settings. The last piece was the strut insert on my BC-DS coilovers. I replaced my front subframe, knuckles and all parts. They seem to be a little lighter then the FD wheels.Įvery since I spun at Road Atlanta a year and half ago, I have had a issue with matching camber up front. I ran across a deal of a set of 16×7 +38 Kosei K1s for sale from a good friend. Autoexe typically make OEM replacement wheels, and rarely do aftermarket style ones.Īnother update was a new set of wheels. Up until seeing at Mazmart I never knew it existed. Its a Limited Edition Sports Steering Wheel for the NA Miata by Autoexe. Next it was time to install this rare piece from Autoexe that Mazmart had in stock. But honestly the bracing didnt feel as sturdy as the oem brace, so I left it off. I ran into a issue with the front brace not fitting at all. Right side sits a little lower to clear the exhaust, so it takes a few more spacers then the left.Ĭenter brace uses a rectangular head bolt to fit into the hole in the chassis and drop down and bolts in. And then you can tighten the subframe braces in place. You have to remove the rear trailing arm, to drop the bolt through the hole. They also have spacers to add to clear larger sway bars and the exhaust. Installation is pretty straight forward, but it does take a minute get the correct bolts in their proper place. This kit is a replica of the rare Autoexe bracing kit, it includes a reinforcement bracket for the rear subframe, rear subframe bracket, middle cross brace, and a front subframe brace to replace the OEM one. A few weeks later I received the carfield braces from Taiwan. Last post I installed the megan rear control arms. But the build has been going on at a steady pace, and I have a lot to catch up on. I was pretty busy with planning Southrnfresh 9, and holidays and with the weather warming up it was just a lot going on. Its been awhile! But the build has been continuing at a steady pace.
