From the forums, I would have expected 17x9 to not be comfortable? I wonder if the tire choice is the reason that 17x9 is comfortable in this specific case…maybe riding on a tire with a soft sidewall?

We've only installed the one kit for our Budget NC. However, there is a review on the Fab9 site about RHD fitment "It is designed for a left-hand driver car, but it can work with a right-hand drive car. Some hoses will need to be swapped with other hoses in the kit and installed and routed differently."

So which produces more power for the NC? The midpipe with resonator or midpipe with helmholtz chamber?
@GWRTeam3 ай бұрын
2.5 inch flow pipe for both means same dyno results. Dyno does not care what style of resonator is on the midpipe. What does matter is our newer 5 inch diameter converters, which flow better than 4 inch diameter converters, particularly important for the 2.5 liter customers and any customer with boost.

Yes, but the change on SystemOne is at least 10 times more effective because it has 10 times more packing material in the changeable packed section for that setup.
@GWRTeam8 ай бұрын
We did these baffles in our original Fiat 124 System, and they were just not effective enough in that application. So as part of the redesign we went with the choice that is indeed more work, but more than 10 times more effective at giving you more control on the results and two different sound levels.

Great video on coilovers vs shocks. Had a 90, 92 autocross car. Later a 93le with softer bumpstops, and sways. Really fun cars. Currently have a mustang bullitt with magnaride and ford racing suspension. Actually handles well for a heavy car. I may be in the market for an nd soon. Want to do the ohlins and exhaust. I will look up you up later. Thanks for all the good info.

I have the helmoltz on both my NC2 Miata. One is a soft top, with removable hardtop, the other is prht. Both have the super q muffler, the Helmholtz mid pipe. The soft top have the catless header, the prht has the catted street header. Both are very nice, no drive in any situation. Love both setups. I used the catted headset on the prht to keep in cab boominess down.

I installed on my NC1 your super Q first then added the helmholtz straight pipe and your now discontinued Ceramic coated stainless Catted header. Also added your Progress sways at the same time with a remap. It’s been four years now and it all still looks (wish I had a mirror on the floor) like brand new (car rarely if ever sees rain) and sounds perfect. This spring I’m finally moving on to suspension. Considering buying your sport stage one Koni/lowering springs/shocks with End links along with your 8” wide Hypergrams.. Goodwin quality is top shelf. Thanks for tossing so many try’s before finalizing and offering perfection.

I just installed the sub frame bracing on my ND2 and the difference in feel is very noticeable. In a good way. My take is the car is not as tail happy as it was before and I don’t think the body roll is as extreme. The job is straightforward but took me longer than you tube leads one to believe. Of course this is the first car I have ever taken a wrench to. One note is the oil pan cover does not quite line up the same as stock resulting in the need to omit two bolts. The plan is to take a fox tail file to the two errant holes and enlarge them just a touch.

I like how you address the concerns about aluminum, especially for track use. I was wondering about that
@GWRTeam Жыл бұрын
I actually prefer the aluminum on track weekends. Often changing wheel/tire combos on the car, sometimes changing brakes start and end of the weekend. So, the lugs get a lot of use and often rushed getting them on and off. If you cross thread and gall with steel lug then the stud is toast and some of the studs are not easily changed. If you cross thread and kill an aluminum lug no big deal, we always have a bag of spares in the track box for the car. I have seen guys have their entire track weekend go to hell right at the start because they rushed a steel lug on and destroyed the stud and missed first track session of the day trying to change out the wheel stud. With aluminum lug you risk only the lug when in a rush, and grab another as needed. So, if you use the steel choices just take your time, which is sometimes easier said than done on track weekends.

I have been a car nut working on my own cars since the late 70's. One of the things that really impress me about Goodwin is that you never get the hard sell on the higher priced items. It is refreshing to hear a company say that perhaps you don't need our most expensive part and that the cheaper option may in fact be the best for you and your car. That being said I find the ride a little harsh with my Koni shocks and Progress Springs....I found the Roadster springs to be even more harsh....maybe I need the Ohlins after all?
@briangoodwin2862 Жыл бұрын
Tires and pressure setting? Assuming Koni set to soft try a bit less tire pressure, like 26psi instead of 28psi. Can also try taller tire next time for more rubber between you in the road, 215/45 on stock wheels rides a lot softer than stock 205/45. To really get more rubber cushion consider a drop to lighter 16 inch wheel with 205/50 tire.
@miketaberner7030 Жыл бұрын
thanks Brian, for some reason I find the shocks a little better when they are set more on the stiff side. Maybe that is because I am only adjusting the rebound if I understand the Koni settings correctly? I did try slightly less pressure in the tires but could go a little lower. I like my BBS wheels too much to switch to 16". When I had the Roadster sport springs I found them very stiff on bumps and noticed quite an improvement when I installed the door bushings. @@briangoodwin2862
