BenD Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 No I doubt it mate. I'm aiming for next year so I can take my time and enjoy my build I'm not that bothered if it takes me two years as long as it's done right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenD Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 ive been looking into a few diffent bits for my westy while my panles are at powder coating. (must update build thread) my main question is do mazda people use the standard westfeild suspension or is there better out there i think the mazda suspension is priced at 425 ish is this the best option for a road going few track days car or can i get better such as gaz. I had gas coilovers on my 5 turbo and found them to be quite good is this the case with the westy because they are almost the same price as Westfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
