Thanks guys, managed to get it adjusted last weekend, it holds on the hill now
Last weekend I gave the SP a bit of a birthday, new oil and filter, new sparkplugs and a good clean all over
I also chucked in the Racing beat springs all round, Got a 15mm drop up front and a 20mm drop at the rear. The tokicos will go in IF they can be rebuilt, which I doubt
I'd like the front to be a bit lower to get the nose down more, and it scrubs at the rear so I'll need to roll the guards at some point (Soon!) but I'm getting happier with how the car is sitting now. I'll pull the towbar back off and hopefully that will get the stance back to level.
After the springs were installed, I went for a hoon to Kawhia Bay, about an hours worth of twisty back roads to really settle the suspension in lol
It's an incredible bit of road, and the SP20 is perfect for it. Just enough power to be quick, but not terrifying, and it handles like it's on rails through the flowing sections. I love these cars!
Been thinking about what's next for this car as well, so far I've got a list of little things to improve, and some long- looooooong term goals
Little Things:
- Mazda 2 air con knobs
- Repaint champagne interior trim to gunmetal/ silver
- LED light upgrade
- single din headunit with either a storage pocket or some auxiliary gauges (Oil pressure, oil temp, water temp?)
- Badgeless front grille/ AutoEXE grille (Hopefully I can get the BJ1 grille to fit)
- Better map lights and interior lights (I'm thinking a centre roof console from something else grafted in)
- Short shift and gearknob (Any recommended companies?)
- Replace suspension bushes all round
Long term:
- Retrim door cards and seats (red suede would be amazing)
- Strip and paint the wheels either white or factory grey
- Repaint the whole car to Velocity red (one day.....)
- Supercharger...
