No 15 minute challenges, no bikinis (sorry) and no skipping over the details. In this video I show you how to install a set of coilovers in to an NB MX5. The process is almost identical for NA, and a lot of the same principles apply to just about every car. The video also covers the features and benefits of MCA Suspension coilovers, and why I chose them for Project MX5. As someone who had never done anything like this before, the whole process took me around 4-5 hours on my own, and would definately be faster the next time having learned a few lessons in the process which are all covered in the video. I'd say allowing an hour per corner is reasonable. Faster still if you have a helper. The only difficult part was getting the top nuts on the rear struts whilst holding them in place. I managed on one side but ended up getting helper on the other side to speed things up a bit and reduce the risk of dropping my shiny new MCA X-R coilovers.  Equipment & Tools Required: Jack (or Hoist) 4 x Jack Stands (or Hoist) A flat and even surface to work on Wheel nut adaptor to suit your wheel nuts Gloves (Optional but your hands will get VERY dirty without them!) Torque Wrench (up to 95NM) Breaker Bar (or 17mm wheel brace) Deep Socket Set - (12mm - 20mm) Ratchet Extension Bar to suit Ratched/Sockets 17mm Spanner Hex keys or Hex Head set for Ratchet Penetrating lubricant to assist with bolt removal (I used WD-40) Spring Compressors (Optional but recommended if you're doing this on your own) _____________________________________________________ Got an idea for a video? - Let me know in the comments below Check out the Boosted Autos Website: - http://www.boostedautos.net Enjoying the free content and want to support this channel? https://www.patreon.com/boostedautos Get involved on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/boostedautos Follow on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/boosted_autos !!!DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE!!! www.boostedautos.net/youtube Music: Liquicity Records: https://soundcloud.com/liquicityrecords Gardnsound: Livid and GARDNSOUND.

Here's a quick video update on what you can expect over the coming weeks from Project MX5. As you can see, the car is in a bit of a state at the moment, with a few "half done" mods that need to be finished off. I also have coilovers and Wrap ready to happen! My aim is to have it back on the road properly and off to some motorkhana in the very near future. As I mentioned in the video, I am a total n00b with most of the stuff I'm going to be doing over the next little while, so any comments or suggestions are VERY welcome! _____________________________________________________ Got an idea for a video? - Let me know in the comments below Check out the Boosted Autos Website: - http://www.boostedautos.net Enjoying the free content and want to support this channel? https://www.patreon.com/boostedautos Get involved on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/boostedautos Follow on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/boosted_autos !!!DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE!!! www.boostedautos.net/youtube Music: Liquicity Records: https://soundcloud.com/liquicityrecords ]]> Thu 03 Aug 2017 20:45:34 +0200 https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/9994/project-mx5-august-update-wheels-tyres-coilovers-wrap-and-more/ https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/10053/project-mx5-update-june-2017/
