Hi guys n gals!
Thought I'd put a thread up of my nugget here!
Just a bit of a background....I had a 254rwkw R33 gtst for over 3 years, was just getting a bit costly for me to run at the track etc while Ive got a wedding coming up. So after 6 months of looking for a cheaper replacement, I found the mx5 up in QLD.
The car was built and logged as a CAMS 2F race car.
Can be eligable for FOSC, Prod Sports, MX5 challenge, etc
(I'll hopefully be doing MRA and MX5 challenge in 2010)
I havent done too much since buying it, but previous owner bought it stock standard and stripped it and caged it and log booked it!
He raced it for over a year up in QLD, but got into money issues and needed to sell. And I needed to buy
So...
Its a 1994 MX5 NA8 Clubman.
Mods when I bought it...
6 point cage
sparco drivers seat with 5 pt harness
daytona passenger seat with sparco 3 pt harness
TEIN Flex coil overs
Whiteline front sway bar
Some a/market caster and camber bushes etc
Brake master cylinder brace
stripped interior
CAMS approved tow hooks and kill switch
Braided brake and clutch lines
Toyo R888 semi's
A shot just after I bought it.
Got it engineered down here in NSW through Greg and Brad @ autosport engineering - big thumbs up there!!!!
Since I have owned it, I have added....
MX5Mania cold air induction - can see it in engine bay shot.
(s13deviats s13 in background!)
Full exhaust system,
4-2-1 extractors, high flow cat and 2.5" cat back exhaust
advanced timing from 10degrees to 14 degress.
Also added RDA slotted rotors with QFM A1RM pads
Just Jap shift light
So far times I have done...

Car prob makes around 70-80rwkw! It has pretty good corner speed, just lacks straight line speed LOL
Plans for next year are cams and an ECU - can net upto 100rwkw - while its not MASSIVE power, it helps in a lighter car!
Anyhoo, a few pics from some track days,
While its not going to set any world records, its a fkn fun car to drive, and will teach me alot about driving @ the track, and set me up for later races and door to door!
Here is a vid from our SAU NSW OP GP day
Thanks for reading,
I'll update as I go
Cheers,
Chris
