Hello, Newbie here

[lewiseunos]

Hi guys,

Im lewis

Been longing to be on this forum but did not realise until i sold my hold hood frame to Richard? that the domain had changed or something?

But anyways i have a green eunos roadster nothing done under the bonnet other than an induction kit and cat bypass. few minor body mods but like the car the way it is

Was going to come to the meet you had on the 2nd of january but i think i was still over limit so save than sorry.

hope to come to a road trip some time.

Hi Lewis

Good to have you on board ... and nice motor! Liking the wheels particularly.

[Wesly]

welcome to the forum mate... your car looks stunning!

[secat187]

Looks good

[lewiseunos]

Hi the wheels look great i like them alot but the picture dont capture the laqure lifting on them. but there coming off in two mins if i win an ebay auction lol. But the car is a bit dirty in the pic, just been through inverkeithing quarry hehe, but I have a few mk2 golfs and thats where i spend my ime mostly.

Does anyone ever feel the car is very light on the rear? my car wants to slide about and to my knowledge the diff is not welded or LSD, uprated clutch tho....

[Wesly]

your changing those wheels? are you nuts they look unbeleivable!!!

i'll pm you soon about the side skirts etc

will try and work towards a deal with you if we can figure something out mate
im also about to put a few pictures up. so check back in 5minutes or so

[secat187]

Tyre types and pressures make a great deal of difference with these cars. What are you running on?

Lovely all round great photograph as well!.Alloys are identical to what I got extra with old Bruce too. Not as shiny though, these look stunning. I can feel a wheel polish coming on for the Spring!

Lewis,
Nice to see one of the many fellow Dunfermline 5 drivers actually using the Forum

I'll keep an eye out for your car and flash when you pass.

You'll get a slightly better view of my car in this old post

Great photo of your car by the Forth Bridge

Definately make some of the club runs. A great bunch and driving through the countryside in a convoy of 20 or 30 MX-5s is a great experience

Welcome mate!

Cars looking very nice there!

I dont suppose you were travelling towards Edinburgh at roughly 5 - half 5 on Tuesday evening?

Hi there. Nice looking car and a great location for a pic.

Does anyone ever feel the car is very light on the rear? my car wants to slide about ...

Probably one of the most talked about issues on this forum over the years! It's simply because the car's so light, tight at cornering and front wheel drive: this combo can push the back out very easily ...

... as a number of walls, trees and at least one house (yes house!) will testify to from various members over the years.

All sorts of theories about best tyres, sandbags in the boot, etc have been discussed, but basically you just have to learn to corner slower or skid properly!

Hi Lewis

Nice car! So all those years with MX-5s milling around you in ss-R were just too tempting???

Hi Lewis and welcome to the forum (I'm liking the bumper... where did that come from?)

[lewiseunos]

Thanks for the comments on the car.

the wheels are running 28 psi and it is running pirreli p6000. ok rubber in the dry but useless in the wet.

the wheels are nice but they are only 14's and i have a few sets of MIM alloys but cant choose. both sets (german and british) i want them on my car. not really wanting to sell the wheels but i promise ill have them on for club runs since people like them haha,
I was in edinburh on tuesday mate as i was going to work in livi for my set of nights. i think i seen you at the newbridge roundabout???

but been a fan of the cars for a while but insurance has not been kind to me so had to wait a while. im still young and insurance brokers just dont like giving insurance on rwd cars lol

lewis

the bumper was on the car when it come in from japan, the previ owner thought it was made or produced for HKS??? not sure but the guy sid when he got the car it ws covere in hks stuff

Jackie Stewart once said that he never pressed the throttle unless he was sure he didn't have to take it off again. Pretty sage advice

And yes, my car is also rear wheel drive

[poing]

Welcome lewis

Nice car and photo location.

I'm sure when you want to get rid of your wheels you'll have no problems getting someone to buy them, my wheels are only 14's as well but that just means cheaper tyres and only running 185's which is handy when you want the back end to be mobile

[sgibson]

Hi, cool car! You do realise that those wheel (the polished versions) are super light and highly sought after?

[mike9jr]

Nice motor Lewis.
Tail end lightness is defo those shite tyres. Had the same probs on Pirelli's myself, been fine eversince on Toyo's.

The 15" Wolfrace alloys on my sig will be up for grabs soon fella's, shod with good Toyo T1-s's. Could solve your problems??
