My 1994 Mx5 Clubman

[gtrjohn]

Hi guys n gals!

Thought I'd put a thread up of my nugget here!

Just a bit of a background....I had a 254rwkw R33 gtst for over 3 years, was just getting a bit costly for me to run at the track etc while Ive got a wedding coming up. So after 6 months of looking for a cheaper replacement, I found the mx5 up in QLD.

The car was built and logged as a CAMS 2F race car.

Can be eligable for FOSC, Prod Sports, MX5 challenge, etc

(I'll hopefully be doing MRA and MX5 challenge in 2010)

I havent done too much since buying it, but previous owner bought it stock standard and stripped it and caged it and log booked it!

He raced it for over a year up in QLD, but got into money issues and needed to sell. And I needed to buy

So...

Its a 1994 MX5 NA8 Clubman.

Mods when I bought it...

6 point cage

sparco drivers seat with 5 pt harness

daytona passenger seat with sparco 3 pt harness

TEIN Flex coil overs

Whiteline front sway bar

Some a/market caster and camber bushes etc

Brake master cylinder brace

stripped interior

CAMS approved tow hooks and kill switch

Braided brake and clutch lines

Toyo R888 semi's

A shot just after I bought it.

Got it engineered down here in NSW through Greg and Brad @ autosport engineering - big thumbs up there!!!!

Since I have owned it, I have added....

MX5Mania cold air induction - can see it in engine bay shot.

(s13deviats s13 in background!)

Full exhaust system,

4-2-1 extractors, high flow cat and 2.5" cat back exhaust

advanced timing from 10degrees to 14 degress.

Also added RDA slotted rotors with QFM A1RM pads

Just Jap shift light

So far times I have done...

1.30.4 - first in class 2B

Round 3 SSCC interclub supersprint May 17th - OP South

Round 7 - SSCC interclub sprint 13th september

Round 8 - SSCC interclub sprint 18th October

Car prob makes around 70-80rwkw! It has pretty good corner speed, just lacks straight line speed LOL

Plans for next year are cams and an ECU - can net upto 100rwkw - while its not MASSIVE power, it helps in a lighter car!

Anyhoo, a few pics from some track days,

While its not going to set any world records, its a fkn fun car to drive, and will teach me alot about driving @ the track, and set me up for later races and door to door!

Here is a vid from our SAU NSW OP GP day

Thanks for reading,

I'll update as I go

Cheers,

Chris

Nar not a car trailer, I bought one about 12 months ago.

It is another car for a bloke, he has been coming to me for a while now getting bits and pieces done. I have a new engine on the stand to go in it vroom vroom, Then it will be the MX5's turn.

[BOZ22N]

SICK.....................

[evil_weevil]

yeah Im loving the black wheels!

I just need a black front lip and yay!

so july 11 is EC. first supersprint this year for me....

my goal is to get under 2mins - however I doubt it as I havent been behind the wheel at the track since december

[evil_weevil]

7 months of not being at the track - 2 seconds slower off my PB

[TiTAN]

2 seconds over a 2min + lap isnt that bad.

[LotusGTR]

I'll get a pic soon!

Black looks sensational. Much better than the white. Your MX5 is something I want to do...
