Yeah we gave it a bash yesterday - only did a hp run though - too hard to find enough cop-free road to get up to the 170km/h or so needed to do a 1/4 mile.

Anyhow, the hp came in at around 220hp (160rwkw), but this is low. It was done on a bumpy piece of road, I lost some traction and I think the bumps messed with the figure.

Check out my dynos here and the one with torque figure here. The red figure is the pre-latest mods and blue is current. While the peak power figure hasn't gone up that much, the mid-range torque and power gains are excellent. Note too, that at afr's of around 11:1, it is a conservative tune, with plenty left in it. However, I don't want to blow up my engine, so I can run it at this figure all day without risk.

Hope to catch you all at AIR next Wednesday - it is going to be a massive night, with some nice cars heading out from NS.com and PSI too! The best bit - NO V8s or slicks .... only true 4 & 6 cyl street cars!!

I believe gates open at 5pm, racing starts at 6pm. I hear rain may be forecast, but you never know. I think it is $17 to spectate - about what you pay for a movie, but with MUCH more excitement!! :P

    • I found the same with Subaru’s.  I own and love the SG9 Forester, after that model 2008+, Subaru threw the ugly stick at all their line up and somehow managed to make them look worse with every succeeding year.  lol
    • 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
