I posted this in my build thread and then thought that it would make a good thread where people can post what their plans are and then at the end of the year mark off the completed ones.

Plans:
1. Get car back on the road, tunend for E85 by mid February.
2. Get car to MR Tuning in March for a setup inspection/recommendation/suggestions.
3. 08/04/15 attend MR Tuning track day at QR
4. 04/05/15 attend MR Tuning track day at EC
5. 7/8/9 August attend MX5 Nationals
6. October 2015 attend World Time Attack 2015 in Clubsprint...

Goal
Focus is on quality seat time for 2015

Plans

1. Buy an NC; likely a 2006 model, sub-100,000 km on the clock, most likely Galaxy Grey or Copper Red in colour.
2. Add some tasteful bling.
3. Document bling with 'how to' guides, eg: "How to change your grille", that might encourage others to give the same a go.
4. Re-join MX-5 Club of NSW; sadly without my original member number but that's not all that important, I suppose!
5. Attend runs; spend time with my local mob around Macarthur, whom I've already visited with at a brekky event in Dec 14.

Goal

Get back to where I was, circa 2001-2007-ish, behind the wheel of a fun roadster and having a good time.

Hah! If I write this out I can give myself a hard time when I don't get any of it done!

Goal
Focus is on quality seat time for 2015

Plans:

2. Do all the Qld club track days, except the two I will be in Indonesia for, and hopefully still be in contention for a piece of plastic at the end of the year.
3. Get the S14 suspension, brakes and ancillary wiring finished.
4. Hopefully add a 350Z to the stable, though this might come at the expense of the 5.
5. Have Charger completed and on the road.
6. Have enough fun tickets stashed away to start on the engine for the S14

and as my stretch goal for the year,

Have the S14 on the track in 2015 for shakedown and testing ready for a full season of racing in 2016.

PLANS
1) weight reduction- strip interior and fit carbon hardtop
2) trailer
3) remove BD bar and fit full cage
4) slicks
5) be running in MX5 cup mid year, race at MX5 nationals

GOALS
1.05.XXX at Wakefield

1) Finish off Malibu Gold full NB into NA install (80% complete)
2) Purchase first set of R compound tyres & try not to destroy them on first outing
3) Compete in Mallala Super Sprints & place 5th or better in 1800 stock class
4) Compete in Big-W Motorkhana series and place 3rd or better outright
5) Finish off SP restoration and consider selling
6) Clear out remaining junk in garage
7) Plan US trip
8 ) World domination

Plans:

1) Spend little, save lots. Holiday > car parts.

Goals:

1) Win NB Modified group in MX5 club sprints.
2) low 64s at Lakeside

Unlike 2014, spend more time driving it and sprinting it than mending it and managing others attempting to mend it.

Spend time with the family.
Occasionally do skids.

Plans:

1. Overseas Holiday, Just me & SWMBO, for the first time without the offspring (Now all grown up).


Goals

1. Supercharge my NA. Not sure which type yet, but I really like the look of Rotrex. The other players are Kraftwerx or FFS.

Other than that I just want to love livin life.
