What a gorgeous day, http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?02/09/2012.PHIL.S24.Y

Re the Zed – I was informed it was one of those common final turn incidents.

I was talking to one of the PIARC guys, Gary scrutineering – some of the old guys have had very interesting lives and well worth a chat.

Anyhow, even though numbers were low, I always seemed to get involved in traffic at some point in my laps. Even had stripped out cars wanting door to door action.

Funny enough fastest lap of the day was the last lap of the day – PIARC had even stopped the timing,very few were still there and even less bothered to go out due to oil through turn 3.

Back off and sand bag like crazy?!? That's what I do to stay out of traffic. It's a big track.

Agree, no point taking chances with traffic chasing lap times. Tried a few things but PIARC were sending cars out with 1s gaps and cars behind didn't play game of letting the one in front go a bit. Best was to sit in pit lane for 30s or so but the EXE guys in 350zees had the same idea as well :), they were good lads, nice cars too.

    • What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new 
    • Just came across this, but in QLD I start leave again in 2 weeks, if it is still available I might drive up and check it out Unless, @MBS206 do you live near here????, if so I could hit you up with a finders fee https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hope-island/auto-body-parts/nc-mx5-factory-hard-top/1328976391
    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
