still not a massive fan of the looks, hopefully the finished product is a little more edgy

the noise tho, is very unexpected. You sort of think that it will have that empty sounding noise that ferrari's have and hopefully pump out more of the growly lambo sound... but no. Its almost like american muscle. sounds ace

Huh? Can't say I'd ever describe the sound of the beautiful Ferrari V8 like that :down:

Its a hollow sound. More of a loud mechanical noise than something with bass and depth. Not as aggressive and say a Gallardo or something.

Anyway, testing is done, less than a fortnight... and counting. Cant wait for the n00bs to cause a few upsets

anybody who wins a race this year is really going to earn it with the the new regs

they'll all be right up the next guys ass with the same fuel loads. one mistake and 5 guys will be past before you've finished correcting your oversteer

Burnie is a big fan a stephan, I won't be surprsied if they are on the grid for the first race. 1/2 their gear is already there. It would be funny if the scraps of toyota won races like brawn did, not going to happen but it would be funny.

An American F1 team makes about as much sense as an AFL team in Western Sydney ... 90% of americans don't give a crap about F1. And basing it in the US? Crazy. I'm not surprised it has flopped.

I have to say this is probably Mark Webber's last and best chance to be champion. Test times suggest the car is going to be well up there, and remember the cars are not greatly changed from last year, except for the XL fuel tanks. I'm not saying he's a shoo-in, he's still going to have to have a very good year, but he should definitely win races, and if you win enough races you become champion.

    • What are you doing with the car? street car or race car? People get hung up on the squat of the s/r chassis rears. There is positives to the squat if a car is setup and driven correctly for it (correct ride height, spring rate, alignment, damper valving). Generally just lengthen the rear traction arm by 5-10mm and that will help the squat and bump steer too. You are also correct with the roll centre too. This too also needs to be adjustable if you start messing with suspension geometry.   Having done quiet a bit of testing on race cars this year in regards to rear squat, I've seen some big positives from it in regards to drive off corners and traction. 
    • I find I am using the MX5 for everything except long overnight cruises with Jackie, or, if picking up the kids to go somewhere, the SS has so much more room inside, and is much more comfortable if your going to be doing Hwy driving for 6-8 hours And the MX5 isn't bad in stop go traffic for a manual transmission car, whilst the clutch kit has been upgraded from stock, it is still light, and also not having a stupidly light flywheel in it helps as well, I've spent alot of time sitting on the M5, M4 and M7 stuck in traffic when plodding around the Greater Sydney Region in it Another benefit is MX5's are not really a car that gets stolen, you can pretty much park it anywhere, and it will still be there when you return
    • 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.
