Oh, I have just noticed it was “ Rich “ ( the Forum Manager ) who decided to give me a ‘ slot of my own ‘ Tony is Probably still resting curled up in a corner of the workshop Under a Work bench mumbling to himself.. After encountering my earlier batch of Questions. But hey! At 79 I am ‘ away with the fairies ‘ It happens !

Haha OMG, I feel like Charlie Bananas this morning Because Tony’ has given me my ‘own slot’. so that I can just ‘Drive myself barmy instead of driving the rest of you off your trollies, Anyway I suppose At 79 I have earned my right to become a bit odd ... I have phoned Wheels in Motion and - because of this pandemic - There is little backlog of people wanting work done on their cars etc So now seems a good time to give them a phone call I spoke to ‘Joe’ an extremely nice and helpful guy I thought I detected a huge sigh of ‘relief‘ as he put the phone down.. I’m looking forward to having my MX5 NC 2L lowered by 30mm (They really are too high on the OMC springs) , My car is already fitted out with a IL motorsport stainless steel exhaust And a K&N air filter, Sounds fantastic too, I have only had my car about a month, I answered an advert It told me that the car was Immaculate and that any potential buyer should “bring their money with them” Because “they would definitely buy it” etc .. And how pleased I was that I believed what the advert had said, The car should be in a “ Museum “ It has spent its entire life in a garage going out only on sunny days ... Once I have had the car Lowered by ‘Wheels- in motion’ I think I will then finish the look by bringing the wheels out about an inch on spacers, Should look lovely then, Anyway folks If there is anyone listening to this thread Apart from myself and my cat, Keep safe And have a good Christmas ....Ray..

Hi, again Tony Re the request for your company to supply and fit lowering springs onto my MX5 N3 after Christmas. As you have probably noted I am 79 and don’t fully understand Internet jargon or procedures. At 79 I am “ away with the fairies “ I am getting feedback from you Via these threads But I need to know that you will do the work for me after Christmas. So that I can stop looking elsewhere etc. Best regards Tony From Ray ...

Thanks Tony ... The point about insurance is noted, Are you up for the job ( after Christmas ) ? As and when it suites you ... Ray

Hi Tony, thanks for your reply. And price, That’s a yes from me. See you straight after Christmas to arrange dates etc, Ray. I would just add. My car is in mint condition. Garaged from new. So you shouldn’t have any problems with seized bolts etc, Ray

I quite like the simpler system of Lowering springs rather than Coilovers Tony, My car is quite low milage and being the Sports model it has adequate damping shocks etc, After Christmas I will deliver my car to you for a set of lowing springs to be fitted, I live quite a way from you - Epping - It would be helpful to me. If a date - nearer the time - could be set. So that my car can come in and be dealt with rather than hanging around until a slot can be found to do the work etc, My preference would be Bring it in and pick it up a day or two later. For logistic reasons. I will only have a slot from someone who can follow me up. Bring me home and bring me back to pick the car up. Etc. Thanks Tony. I await your advices, Ray. I’m 79 years of age And won’t relish the journey both ways on motorways etc. Just added that to fill you in on why I seek a Time slot etc.. Ray

Hi, I have a 2007 MX5 series 3 sport 2L. My First MX5. Enjoying it immensely But need to get it lowered It looks as if it’s on stilts, etc. I live in Epping Essex Is there any company nearby to Epping or within an hour of Epping who can lower my MX5 after Christmas ? I only use the car for very local journeys very occasionally etc... Barry ....

Hi, I have a beautiful MX5 NC 2L And want to know the cheapest price I can expect to pay to have it lowered 30mm I live in Epping Essex My intention is to have it lowered after Christmas (The NC looks as if it’s on stilts) I only want to use it for simple drives around the locality where I live, Ideas please Springs or Coilovers and where to have the work done near me in Essex Thanks guys
