mmmm so some one can race my car for me ADAM lol, If some has a spectator space free i would like to watch.

It's a deal! You come as my spectator and I thrash your car down the strip.

So does that mean i can bring my friends car as a second car, provided i race it?

Yup.

Picked up my newly acquired M/T ET's today and now I need to ask for some information.

To all the drag racers,

The tire size is 255/50 x 16 and my car weighs about 1400kg.

As this is my first outing at WSID, would someone care to recommend a tire pressure that should last the day and give me some reasonable results.

The side walls say max load of 765kg @ 44psi, but I would assume this would be far too high pressure for my use when the total load on the rear might be 700kg body weight. And I wouldn't think half @ 22psi would be right either.

Thanks in advance,

Dennis

should be a great day, still deciding on whether to race....the slicks i have were almost bald 5 runs ago. Anyone selling second hand slicks? dont know if i want to go the street tyre.

The Nittos I bought off 2rismo were bald when I got them. I did about. 40 passes on them.

Well I got a bargain then, I guess the M/T ET's would be about 30% worn and 14/16 psi is the recommendation from Mickey Thompson Tires in the US.

Cheers, D

Start at 15psi and drop in 1psi increments until you're happy. Don't go lower than 11psi.

    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works!
