E11even Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Brand new as of today Hi Tony It really felt so much better driving it after your adjustments. Its hard to explain but from when I picked the car up until I got to yours it felt different to my old Mk3. The drive home was like being back in my old car again, it just feels right now. I know its been said many times before but I would say the best thing any Mk3/3.5 owner can do to their car is get the geometry set correctly. At least they didnt load the bushes!

E11even Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Daft question but why did the owner bring it in ? I had the Eibach springs off my old car fittted on this one by the Mazda dealer, purely because if they fit the springs it doesnt affect the insurance as its a dealer fit. WIM fitted the springs on my old car and the insurance went up! The geometry was not set correctly, so I feel it was well worth the visit to WIM Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e4tnu Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Nice MX you got there i have to admit that the joker grill looked a bit strange a first but it has grown on me.I wonder if one would bolt staight on to my mk3 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 I think that's why....... A wise owner had Mazda lower the car, we checked all their work then calibrated the chassis..... This particular dealer was spot on "hooray" we finally found one, but suspiciously the lowered position left the car with near perfect target positions Kin nice car though....... I do love the 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E11even Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Thanks, Im very pleased with it. I felt the same about the grill at first but its really grown on me now. I think the middle section of the car is the same as the Mk3, so the new nose should fit - but dont take my word for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Initially i wasn't sure about the bulge around the nose badge thinking it would be an arse to clean but in hindsight i like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
