AWESOME day yesterday at Morgan Park raceway with 'Sports Driver Training' crew, and 12 MX5s

Lisa and I both learned a lot and really enjoyed the track and the experience.
AS usual, Minxy performed perfectly, no dramas at all.

Harry put our times in low 1.16s

I usually have smoko with the strippers that work there, lovely bunch of lass's. :P

It's a pity we couldn't get them out for the shoot :lol:

Finally had a read through of your build, Stu - a lot of love and care has gone into your little beast and it definitely shows in the flesh :)

Here are 5 cruzy laps of Lakeside in 64s (30deg day)
4th and 5th gear only, WOT across the back and through the kink
My chicken detector is the boost guage, shows if i back off (left one above radio)

Any advice on lines welcome. I seem to be stuck at that pace.

Above was done with car only making 8psi.
Monday should be better hopefully.
Addition of Billy Bunters ported modded SE turbo, a new boost solenoid which had gummed up and a new tune.

What happened to all the torque?

Is this a stock SE manifold/turbo/downpipe?
