Hey everyone

I thought it was time to show everyone what me and Mick have been working on for quite some time.

The car has undergone a heap of work in the last few months, mainly to have it ready to compete at Drift Fest.

From repairing and replacing parts after a pressure plate exploded which destroyed the gearbox, damaged the engine and

created a nice letter box hole in my firewall, to installing a new turbo kit - which has upped power drematically to

260 RwKW @ 20psi from the Rb20. To finally painting and kitting the once VERY rough 32.

Anyone who saw the car before Mick got his hands of liquid gold on to it will understand just how much work as gone into

this , and will appreciate just how amazing he is at his job !

Drift Fest was a great learning curve for us, we saw that there are changes to be made, and the car will be back out in 08

bigger and better.

We also look forward to having a go and some other non drift days, which i think will be a blast.

Cheers All

Tim.

    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
    • Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.
    • People don't always want builds that are overly expensive, or have engineering/registration/insurance issues and head aches that come with them Whilst big dollar builds, and complicated stuff is interesting to watch, there is only a tiny % of people who would actually use this information, or have the spare finances to drop on said builds, whereas the buy a cheap(ish) cool car, and make it better, with a average budget, that the average Joe or Jane could achieve will always be a winner in my opinion 
    • Bit of a thread revival, you mentioned wanting a bit more top end before, do you regret not going with the 1.01?
    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
