hahah looks awesome, but I'm too impatient to roll through spoon drains that slow.

When I first put the BC's on the front, almost all the tire disappeared inside the guard. My son said to leave it like that, but I wouldn't have been able to get down the drive. It's often a compromise between fashion & practicality. Good to see some guys don't care about being practical (no speed bumps in his neck of the woods?) so we can admire awesome lowness :thumbsup:.

It will have more low after it gets a cert.

On the coilovers there's another 40-50mm to go in the dummy bottom, and then there's the spring rate adjustment too... I could possiblt make it lay frame as a static drop :thumbsup:

So many speed bumps! Every gas station I almost come to a complete stop when my chassis sits on them, and then there's the little metal grates in the forecort(for filling the tanks I guess?), I've actually pulled a couple of those out.... Any little bump the front subframe and swaybar sit on the ground, top arms hit body, its dragged the exhaust that much the rearest flange bolts came loose so my bozo pipe was flapping around abit haha...

It's still practical.... Can still go 100km/h... With sparks :cheers:

What rims are they if you don't mind me asking?

Yeah that's what I thought. I imagine the geometry will be extremely bad with handling to match.

And I would imagine the front upper arms are hitting the strut towers also on bumps.

Going for its wheel allignment today, camber is staying the same, just bringing elliminating the toe in.

Handles meh, better than factory, but yes, if there's a big enough bump the top arms hit body... And no doesnt hit bumpstops

I love how so many people comment on how bad it must handle... I don't care, it's not like I race it, that's what my RX7 is for..

Infact, after my cert I am going t odrop it another 30mm

I don't think anyone is attacking it, I know I certainly am not.. we're just talking about it. I think it looks great, but where I'm from it would last about 3 hours on the road before it's defected.

Or last 3 hours without ripping the front bar off on a spoon drain!

I dunno how you're going to manage with another 30mm drop but I cant wait to see how it looks worship.gif

    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
