G`Day all hope you are all ready & waiting ???,PLEASE BE ON TIME.AS IF YOU ARE LATE & MISS DRIVER BRIEFING YOU MAY BE OUT OF LUCK ,cheer`s chuckie,see you there.

Well nobody should miss it..... after all you have an extra hour to get ready now... if you didn't set your clock back you should be there an hour before everyone else!!

Gotta go an wash it.

Guys, that was an extremely fun day! I was assigned an instructor at the last minute (not that im a real instructor or nothing) but i hope i help some of you to learn something new about your driving. I did notice that most of you take your hands off the steering wheel too much LOL However, it was great fun to ride with you guys!

Brad, your wagon is definately a fantastic beast!!! My wife has said she will drive a stagea now, as long is its like yours :)

Sam, although drifting at ahg is not encouraged, you certainly have an level of skill for it :/

I would hope to see you guys at other driving events in the future! :worship:

(gotta get Teh Fury in there somewhere)

Also, HUGE thanks to Brad for organizing a top day. And also for taking my wife for a "quick lesson in sideways" in Paul's car. She had a ball. :laugh:

On Behalf Of Loretta thanks Brad for organising all that! much appreciated

I think it took a bit of time for loretta to get into it but after she learned a bit more then she really enjoyed it.

I will see if I can post some photos up if any came out well.

*waits patiently for Bubba to post the vids *

Yep.... great day,

Good to see a few Stageas all together again. Iolanda had fun and learnt heaps.

Sideways Sam, you driving was awesome..... well done mate.

Thanks to everyone being so patient while I sorted out the running order (which wasn't easy).

Thanks to the organisers and Brad and Steve for showing Iolanda the way around.

Brad, "unique" the car was pretty amazing, it's a rocket buddy. Now that you couldn't do that in an Anglia.... ha ha.

thanks to Charlie for the bbq lunch!!

Pity we had a bail a tad early, but we went to Beach party in aid of "Make a Wish".... very good.

We "donated" about $40 on games, and came away with a kayak trip, wine and lots of goodies for Angelina (4 yo daughter)..... in all worth over $150!!

That capped of a brilliant day.

Oh yeah well done Loretta.... you definitely improved during the day...

Good to meet so many nice people.

Cheers

Awesome day! Thanks to Brad for organising and to all the Stagea drivers who let their rwd brothers have a piece of the fun :bunny:

Sam, as always, living up to his name :wave:

    • You know, that is exactly the thing that I was thinking a coupe of hours ago. I even had a plan for a meme, involving one big one, another big one, and the Old El Paso girl saying "¿por que no los dos?"
    • NoS, 2 of the big ones.
    • Oh, that's grim. Something bad has been happening there.
    • Put an endoscope down the hole and saw this. Not quite all around the bore but a good 60% at least. Chin to the chest and towards further disappointments I guess.
    • 2 does "sort of" applies, maybe......but looking at what parts would be needed for the swap to get engineered, registered, and insured, and basically that's everything under the car, the modifications the make it legal would be problematic and horrendously expensive, all for a street car that just cruises around and hits a few twisty roads on the weekends Also, from looking at the NSW rules and Regs, with all modifications that is required just to make the car safe and not twist itself to pieces, and then actually get registered for street use, may still be impossible nowadays As for 1, when you add in a fresh engine, fresh transmission, rear cradle and diff, tailshaft, suspension, brakes, cooling, and all the other fabrication required, your probably looking at up to $100k to do it right, all for a 20 year old MX5 that is over engineered and you would never be able to actually use the power it has on the street, much like your beastie, which I love, but you actually track that thing and can use all of its powers in anger, in a safe environment  Hell, the old Bogan Cruise Ship had more power than I could use on the street, and in hindsight, I went a bit silly on that thing, it didn't really need the 500hp it had for what I actually used the car for, it was fun, but basically unusable on the street if you value your licence  As for cams, yeah, I'll probably book it in for them to get installed and tuned soonish, like next month after MX5 Mania are back at work....... and yes, I've already sent a email to bin the turbo quote and quote instead to install cams and a new Fluidampr balancer that will suit the 2.5 better than the OEM 2.0 balancer that is swapped over for the 2.5 install, as the balancer needs to get pulled to time the cams it's a while your in there sort of thing I did think a bit about flex fuel for a laugh, but being na, and no where really around locally anymore to get E85, I've binned that idea, so no sweet sweet corn smells are set for the car I wish E85 was more of a standard fuel, it's better for the environment, better for tuning, plus that sweet sweet smell we all love As for fitting in the family, that's not needed, as everyone in the family already owns a car that can seat 5 humans comfortably enough, the MX5 is "my toy" As for buying a car that is already built, nah, I would rather pick and choose my parts, I enjoy the process, and in the big picture, the additional cost is well worth the enjoyment, and the occasional frustration, I get out of doing it, albeit with other people spinning the spanners, and me, just paying the invoice 🤣
