rooflessdriver Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I've had words with Derek about the years performance and started building ideas for next year so that we can continue to grow, so i'm sure this issue can be dealt with promptly in the new year..... One thing though, you will need to remind me cos my memory with everything that's going on is pants. No worries Tony. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 lol!! I feel they took on to many projects last year and i got involved with a few of them. In the interim period GAZ has grown exponentially knocking the developments back. In truth i've had a falling out with GAZ over this since the meets we hold costs around 2k each, so if the promised suspension is a no show we all lose out.

e4tnu Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 So does that mean any developments for the mx5 mk3’s springs and dampers is affected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 So does that mean any developments for the mx5 mk3’s springs and dampers is affected? wim lowering springs are selling well and the NC coilovers are done and also selling well, in fact the NC race series have to use the GAZ suspension.

e4tnu Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 No I was referring to any development from you and Gaz on keeping your lowering springs but using a firmer damper than the stock mk3? But not coilovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 The Billie sport damper is as far as you need to go really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e4tnu Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 So any chance you could hazard a guess at how much firmer Billes would be compared to stock dampers with Wim springs? Also got Wim front drop links And Racing beat front and rear Arb’s with poly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Billies are high pressure gas -V- oil on the non-sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e4tnu Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Thought that there may have been a Wim/Gaz combo in the pipeline to firm up the mk3 using existing Wim lowering springs and Gaz dampers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 With the wim coils and then Billie dampers this covers most interests, if more is required then it's coilover time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e4tnu Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I am still finding that I get a bit more body roll than I would like when cornering also I feel that the backend seems to get a bit bogged down when powering out, I didn’t want to go down the adjustable route because it would get set at firm then that how it would stay and I am thinking it may not be as cost effective as just changing the dampers. I have had a bit of feedback from Derek from Gaz saying that he would work with me on finding the optimum rates for fast road and that you would like to be involved in formulating a package. I just thought that this would mean that I kept Wim springs and addressed the issue of dampers. Any thoughts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Penny dropping......... Derek has gone past our initial portfolio by introducing you to our future developments. The introduction of your car to our developments should have been at the latter stages of field testing. Derek was wrong to involve you at this infant stage, plus he was wrong not to inform me of the conversation. Yes we are intending to expand products in the damper, coil, coilover arena for the NC, both domestically and on track but this is early doors at the moment.

e4tnu Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Ok mate no problem so in your opinion to get a stiff setup out of the mk3 PRHT is it Billies or Gaz coilovers ?So i can make a decision which ones to get so I can move on to the next little project on my 5.

Tony Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 The coilovers are the nuts, no other manufacturer could beat the package wim/ GAZ have developed for the NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e4tnu Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Hi Tony can I ask Is there any yearly maintenance on them? Can the ride height be set lower than Wim springs? Does the Geo need to be set again after installation? How much for all 4 corners? Also is there much of weight increase compared to stock dampers and Wim springs?

Maintenance free with out of warranty service costs of £35+ vat per unit. Ride height has a +- 80mm range from ( correct ) design height. Geo will need to be set Minimal change to the OEM weight with the combination coils and oils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
