It was nice to finally spend a weekend not doing house reno's! It was also great to catch up with some familiar faces and meet some new ones. My apologies if I didn't manage to match the face, name, and forum name, or I have forgotten to mention you below.

Thanks to the all that put in the time and effort to organise the SAU entry, well done. I can see SAU becoming a regular EH entrant and in time possibly taking out a club award.

Well done to Ryan and his better half, and Luke, for the trophy winning efforts, and Chad, Damo, and Anthony for your efforts on the dyno. Chad, you might not have reached the lofty heights set by Alex’s VLT (near enough to 580rwkw on Sunday) by there is nothing wrong with over 300 on a very warm day! That Meguiar’s detailer stuff works well mate, look at how glossy your beast is in Troy’s photo.

Dion, good to meet you, and all the best with the repairs mate.

Pete, thanks for the input over the weekend, I owe you big time mate! You will please to know that not only did Jodi win a bunch of trophies for her outstanding XU1 but she then proceeded to drive the car home from the show – she also gave me thumbs up whilst cruising alongside for the first part of the journey.

Ruby, keep the change mate, just add it to the club coffers.

Dave, Damo is on the money, basic details are in my sig'.

Thanks for all the kind comments guys, much appreciated.

Matt, at one stage did you have "dyno: is a great diagnoctic tool" in your sig? :P or am i thinking of someone else.

I did indeed mate. I've changed my sig (last year from memory) but I still view the dyno as another tool for working on and improving one's car... it just happens to double as a bit of fun :)

Chad, 300.6 is still over 300 :)

I only just made it to 300

I wouldnt be worried with that

your power curve is extremely linear and only tapers out on the top end - excellent power vs response... perfect ratio for your trackwork and daily, would make an excellent street car (i'm pretty much aiming for that, but maybe to tweak it a little more to the left at the expense of top end power)

what did you get from the dyno dynamics set?

-D

    • I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8
    • II know what u are saying after 9 years of hibernating my stock engined  110,00km gtt I got it registered 2 weeks ago. Took it for a drive a couple of days ago and some fresh bp fuel, I just couldn’t stop grinning and dreaming of when I will start my build thread. its just such a primal man feeling many forget to enjoy I wish u so much enjoyment with your little racer mate
    • People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.
    • Before and after, headlight's done along with bumper.
    • 1. The MX5 is small, light and fun to throw around at low speeds 2. Fuel economy is great 3. There's more than enough room for my day bag, and enough room in the boot for some shopping  4. I like looking at it My daily commute takes about 10 minutes of suburban streets, mostly 50kph, with about 6 roundabouts and minimal traffic Whilst the SS is a big comfy cruiser, that's all it is, and the fuel economy is about 3 times as much as the MX5's around town
