Well cage wont go in mine till xmas period anyway due to funds. So for now its harness and seat, then its till cage and external engine cut off last... still got to decide where to put that. Thinking just going the pull cord method instead of switch saves cutting holes.

hahah this is door to door racing remember....if you are not willing you get close enough to rub panels you might as well stick to super sprinting - its the getting close/direct competition that is the core of the excitement of racing. If you aren't willing to get close you will get eaten alive by your competitors who are.

And once you've tried it anything else on a race track will seem a little second rate.

POST OF THE FRIGGIN THREAD!!!!!!!!!

Seriously guys get off your arses grow some balls and do it,

If your worried about rules and regs get on the phone call a cage builder and Ask the question!

Its not going to cost you a fortune to set the car up ive said it before your driving WILL be the limiting factor to your success or failure!

In my oppinion if you need to be asking all kindas a questions and are worried about rubbing pannels etc they like Duncan said stick to supersprints where there is bugger all risk.

And seriously if your worried about cutting up a car to put a cage into it then you really should not be trying to door to door race it. If your in my way I will go under you into any turn and I dont mind you turning into my car, You on the other hand might have something to say about scratching your prefect paint job.

I binned my car into the wall at oran park a few meets ago, Decent hit green paint all over it. If your not prepared to bin the car and damage it then dont put yourself into that position!!

Perhaps a go kart would be a cheaper and more fruitfull option if your worried about your car??

The rules are not that strict your all getting worried about stupid shit that is nothing to be concerned about.

Who gives ashit about cams this and cams that. Get a cage and be done with it, I wear friggin undies and a race suit every meeting so who cares about thermal bullshit.

Your not racing for sheep stations your racing to learn the art more than anything.

GET OUT THERE AND DO IT

Not sure you your having a dig at here, first of all you tell us how good mra is and how we should get into it, then people post in here asking stuff, trying to get more info to help them get to MRA, and you say grow some balls and get out there, but you dont want to ruin your car so dont...

bit confused.

anyhoo - reason I havent done it yet is simple fact of FUNDS.

Not really a dig at anyone just frustration.

Its really not hard to get into, but when you get all wrapped up in the rules and analyise everything so much its really not nessisary. Just get it caged and go racing. Its budget entry level motorsport. Your not going to get raped by the scruits for not having a 3 layer/fireproof garment blah blah.

You dont need the most expensive seat or harness you need none of that just get out and learn to drive.

I realise there is funds issues I can appreciate that, your pretty much set to go chris the car is fine.

On the whole car thing its true Chris. I Read something about someone not wanting to damage a car, thats all well and good no one wants any damage but you gotta accept what your about to start doing and be prepared to excahnge paint if it happens.

Yer i am super keen and have been ever since i talked to Waldo.

I have been on a mission saving and spending my ass off trying to get my shit together so i can do the whole season next year. So far i have ordered about 1/3rd of the required parts no real exciting bits just wear and tear stuff, canceled my rego, purchased a car trailer and i pick up my new/second hand tow bitch tomorrow woohoo V8 Power hahaha.

Just need to make some room in the shed over the next few weeks then i will be flat out pulling her apart and sending it off to get some chassis work done and a full weld in cage put in. I am so excited. :P

I was hoping to take it to the Bulahdelah hill climb as its first outing but it will most likely be the SAU day at OP south.

Next year will kick ass, we will have Chubs, Ando, Brad and my self from SAU. Hell yer.

Fair Call, What I meant was re: damaging the the car, is that both mine and Andos are still registered, so cutting the dash was somthing I didnt want to do, however If it has to be done it has to be done, I dont care about body work as my car is look like its gone 10 rounds against George foreman.

The questions regarding the seats, Harnesses and suits...well...if you have a look at the MRA site there is no clear cut info on whether they could be a 30 dollar ebay 3 point harness or needed to be somthing decent.

What I didnt want to do was turn up to a round in the car and get turned away cause my seat isnt FIA approved etc.

I dont think ill be aloud to enter next year, Jay will be running campaining the same car I am currently using but I think somehow they will frown upon sub 60 second cars racing at this event.

Im looking to do the state sports sedan series instead next year. Or taking the year to build another space frame after Ive learnt from the current one im building.

Its funny you mention that Chris.

My old Grey GTR has just been on sold to someone else and im preparing it to run the MRA. Jay will be using my current GTR in the MRA and I may have another GTR in the pipe line that ill bring out to run sprints and MRA with. Depends on alot of things but yeah it may be a possiblity to have another car to use.

Plus there is old mate boz who's S13 were getting ready to go racing with too.

That will be a little ball tearer with him behind the wheel thats for sure

Atleast two of my ex cars will be competing

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......

      I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.

      IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
