MX-5 Coilovers fitting video from HSD Part 2

Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yryChmQd7o
MX-5 Coilovers are straight forward and easy to fit. We've put together a comprehensive step by step DIY video guide about how to remove, prepare and fit HSD Coilovers to our own member of staff James' personal lightly rusty MX-5!

This is part two of two. In this part we look at fitting the coilovers, adjusting them whilst on the car, and a quick road and track demonstration.

HSD Coilovers are extremely high quality road and occasional use monotube coilovers able which are available for a wide variety of applications. HSD have been producing high quality monotube dampers for over 25 years and are the factory behind some of big names in after market suspension. HSD is their own brand and we work closely with them to feed back information to make them better than anything else on the market.

Does it get any lower?

[DriftworksLtd]

@weller094 Yes, this car was set up for track use and to avoid any rubbing.

hello. can you tell me how tall you are and if you have problems with your knees and the steeringwheel?

i have a miata too, but the original steering wheel is annoying, that i can't practice drive techniques (like heel and toe) and i think i'm going to buy a new one. maybe a drift steeringwheel, because they come a little closer to your torso.

can you help me :-)?

@rxmaster James is about 5'11 I think and he had no issues with the wheel. Fitting an HKB boss and a Nardi steering wheel with a 53mm offset (the 330mm Nardi Deep Corn features 53mm offset, the 350mm version features 80mm offset) means that James could drive comfortably. He had plenty of adjustment left in his seat rail too.

He has now sold the car to another guy who works here who is over 6ft and he has no issues using the same wheel and boss combination. Products available from Driftworks

got to say watched both parts (dont even own an MX5 but have some coilovers to fit) and found them very good and highly informative.

no cliches, no patronising or policital correctness BS, just professional solid advice. well filmed and the background music wasnt intrusive or off putting either. top marks lads, hope to watch your other vids.
