Re: A question or two for josh (radio related)

I follow a company on Facebook that retrofit stereos, but couldn't and still haven't figured out what they are called here in NZ. But that image was just from an internet search, looks like there's many options for those in the US as that's where it was from.

Re: A question or two for josh (radio related)

There are companies that retrofit new tech into old car stereos. Don't know what price would be like, would expect it to be up there. Or you could look at buying a new retro style head unit with everything you need. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210308/b7fb907d4a6c74305d41931f13d12951.jpg https ...

Re: What size tyres

I am running 185x60 on 5 or 5.5"rims can't remember and it handles great have not had the slightest bit of understeer yet even in heavy cornering, it has been lowered quite a bit and is running a reasonable amount of negative camber too.
Could be a different story in the wet though.

Re: Opening quarter windows

Hi Bryan, I have got fixed quarters in there at this point and have been given a driver's side from Kilroy. Sounds like he's going to make the doors for his van into ital spec, so I can get the other whenever that comes around.

Good luck Kilroy, yet another van being brought into Christchurch.

Re: will mx5 wheels fit a marina

Is 100'm the maximum amount? So 15x7 with 0 offset would work but say 8 with a 0 offset would be the limit

Re: will mx5 wheels fit a marina

What offset and size are your wheels david I am kind of thinking of going down the 15" path but unsure what width and offset I can get away with?

Re: Opening quarter windows

It has the notched mk3 ones, was looking at trying to make some up with various rubber profiles if I had no luck. I have emailed various companies in the U.K. and have come up empty handed.

Opening quarter windows

I am restoring a van and it has the opening quarter windows as seen in the NZ 1700 Mk3. The seals are looking a bit knackered and I have been looking for replacements for some time. Would anyone have any ideas?
