Haunted hills! ive seen footage of that track, looks the goods! I'll eventually head up there oneday but really need semi-slicks as road tyres just dont cut it haha. I'll give protek a call and get a price sorted.

Actually HH is one of the places that semi's don't really provide the advantage that they should due to the fact that they don't get up to temperature. I would probably rate the grip from semis at the same level as a top notch set of road rubber.

I was meant to head to winton today for an open practice (took the day off work) only to find that I had no power to my coilpacks :P so this arvo had to rewire it straight from the battery.. looks pretty ghetto, but it does the job ;) . Theres an alfa romeo track day being held this sunday so i might head out and give the ol girl a run (but dont really want to pay $110 to join that club.. :P

As Ant said, streets are ok for HH and better than any other track I'd say. I did it in the Clubbie on road tyres and it was still fun.

That sucks about not being able to go to Winton, cars always like to throw things at you last minute!

Just a question.

When you say you wired the coils direct to the battery, do you mean via a relay or direct as in direct?

If so wouldnt they be "on" all the time and burnt out / cause the battery to go flat?

nah not yet Brad, was going to let Duncan have a steer @ wakie but never got around to it!

I'd be surprised if even the best drivers could get an extra second out of it, you are pedalling it very well. Just need to get a little more comfortable dealing with corner exit understeer and cut the corners/ripple strips a little more and you will be bang on the pace - good driving.

      Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.

      Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

      Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
