Re: What did you do today?

I'm going to the garage today to clear it out since it was burgled. They left it in a proper state. I need to make space for the mx5 I haven't driven for 3 or 4 weeks. I can practically here it dissolving as I walk past in the cold and damp. Poor little thing. Partner owns the flat my mother rents. ...

Re: Mx-5 NA

I've seen what damage a puppy did to my escort mk2 ghia in about 1992.
It ran out in the road of front of me with no chance to brake. Put a big hole in my valance and went under both wheels. The screams from the puppy and the kids with it still haunt me.

He mentioned broken glass if you tip it over in the breifing.
That would be the least of my worries upside down in an mx5 with no roll bar.

Re: Mx-5 NA

It's a solid bit of kit and I think it may have stiffened the chassis up as a bonus. I cut a chunk out of my finger nail on a chiselled spot weld trying to squeeze it past all the wires and stuff. 20200808_110827.jpg 20200808_110821.jpg Loads better on the track with the roof off.

Re: Mx-5 NA

The first track day I was on we had to keep the roof up. What a fabric roof will do if I flip the car, I have no idea. I sourced one from GM off the breaker. £180 iirc which is pretty cheap. Fitting it required most of the interior to be removed. 20200803_155319.jpg 20200803_155205.jpg 20200803_1540...

Re: Mx-5 NA

Just had the dog out and it's looking very sorry for itself. It hasn't turned a wheel for three weeks. I might take it for a blast after work.

Re: Mx-5 NA

Teesside auto drome do 5pm till 8pm for £30 and a tenner for the passenger. A bargain for a hoon.

You see some oddities there. The rascal van was on two wheels quite often.
The anonymous corsa had a turbo'd atsra vxr engine.
