Hello :)

Although I cannot attend the track day (I'll be working at the very fuel station you guys will be meeting at), would someone be willing to pick up a few interior parts for me?

Will pay for your troubles, you can even drop them off on your way back (Shell servo I work at)

Frink: If you really want those keyrings, i can get you a complete set for free :geek:

Cheers!

Paul

I will pay if someone does pick them up for me ($50), which i think is half a tank these days ><

CJ, if you are picking up your jacket from Nick or Anna tomorrow (one or the other is bringing them!) can you please grab mine too? Then I can get it from you at some stage.... :cheers:

No probs, If I get mine will get yours, need to remember lol :)

Awesome day! anyone who didn't come along really missed out. all the noob's did really well. hope you all got home without any dramas. i had to shoot off early as i didn't want to get stuck on the hwy in the dark trying to repair my car. it made it home though, thank god. had a huge split in one of my rubber hoses and was leaking boost really badly. but apart from that, was pleased with how i went. reckon i would've been top 5 or 6 outright with my little stock powered GTS-t!

took some of you for a ride too, i hope you all enjoyed it :laugh: i think im going to start going to more "speed off the streets" days on a regular basis....

Definately keen on doing another one, but probably wouldn't be a good idea until I get my cooling issues sorted out, was getting up to 105-108 oil temp on my guage after a few quick laps. Looking at getting that sorted soon.

nothing wrong with that mate. they'll always get hot to that temp when driving hard. its when it gets up around 120 degrees and above that you need to start worrying. my temp was sitting on about 110 all day and didn't budge....

      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).
