How To Fix The ND? Install New Suspension! - Project MX-5 ND Part 1

Can we fix Gab's Mazda MX-5 ND? 'Install a stiffer suspension' screamed the internet so we took the trip to our friends at I.L.Motorsport to see if the aftermarket support for the new platform is as great as we are used to expect from previous MX-5 generations.
Follow the almost step by step guide on installing our fresh suspension, and the same brace kit the Max5 Cup race cars use, in our quest to eliminate some of the body roll and add some zoom-zoom. However this is only the start because we intend to go much deeper. How much character can we add while keeping the modifications relatively tame? Join us next Friday, and every Friday for the next couple of weeks, to see more progress!

Really enjoyed it and your approach to transforming your ND . Looking forward to your next episode as well. The 14/8 springs will be great on track but filling failures on the street. I have 10/6 swift spring on my coilovers as a compromise for street and hpde and they're already pretty stiff. I hope you will be upgrading the anti-sway bars. That was the first upgrade I did and that alone transformed the ride. Putting the front one in is a bit tricky unless your getting a two piece one. Get a good alignment which which for me included dropping it down about 1.5 inches and with chassis raked. Mine likes a fair amount of negative camber and minimal to zero toe-in to max straight line speed and all the castor you can get. See you soon?

@GabrielePiana 3 года назад

Hey Michael! yeah, those spring rates are a bit on the extreme side admittedly but we wanted to turn the car around on its head! I guess you will have to wait until next Friday to see if something good happened? :D

I just did this Saturday except I kept the bilsteins that come in the Club. Installed springs from Good Win Racing. Huge difference with the springs. I also have that same steering wheel and I gotta say after using it I couldn't imagine going back to the OEM one

Interesting thing about the stubby antenna is that it is rigid. I learned this the hard way when taking out a box out of the trunk - it's easy to inadvertently hit the antenna and break it off. The original bendy antenna would just ... bend. When the stubby antenna breaks off, it'll break the screw which is screwed into the mount on the car, leaving you with an interesting challenge to get the broken part of the screw out. I can vouch that the simple and cheap extractor bit kits actually work well for this.

Consider getting a tune from OV Tune. Difference is like night and day. 👍

@GabrielePiana 3 года назад

I had to Google it as I never heard of it. BBR does a similar plug-in flash through OBD and the gains, on paper, are significant indeed.

@gerardjoaquino8856 3 года назад

@@GabrielePiana OV is more known in the Miata forums. I personally know the guy who does the tuning. Their tunes are tailor fit to the car rather than an off-the-shelf tune. I can connect you two if you're interested. 🙂

@vassilis3972 3 года назад

It is really a BIG mistake to tight the screws of the top arm the way you did . Car should sit on the wheels to the ground. The bushings are not in correct position and this affect at least two things. First of all it will destroy the bushings very soon and also if you have measured the height at both sides you might see a big difference. !!! Loosen it again and tight them all with the wheels on and the car on the floor!!!

14/8kg and oem roll bars ??? Not very clever. This car will be useless on normal streets/roads...

@GabrielePiana 3 года назад

Hi Dusan! We are indeed not very clever, therefore we went berserk! Consider tho, that the goal was to see if extreme changes could make the car more engaging to me, not better on absolute terms. Of course for everyday we would go for a tamer spring rates, this is just to see if changing so drastically actually does something to the car. Further, the car will be tested on track, so those rates might make sense then.
