I've been a bit quiet lately so here is whats been happening.

Its the off season for the karts so our 2 were completely stripped down, sand blasted, powdercoated and then rebuilt as well as cleaning the carbie out. Now to find some time for testing before our first race in February.

Ohh and this happened earlier this arvo. Only used for 3 track days before he decided to upgrade

Well not much has really been happening lately due to racing starting up again and helping others with their cars. The new motor hasn't been touched so I'm already behind schedule :( And my headlight broke which gave the car a different appearance haha.

I bought a daily/tow vehicle so I don't have to rush anything now with the MX5, its probably going to get a M90 blower and T5 gearbox because I get bored easily and I have the parts laying around haha.

I'm really bored with how the front looks, part of me want wider wheels with bolt on flares but the other part doesn't want the extra attention that brings from the poe poe

My brake pads finally rocked up yesterday, I also have a 3 gauge dash pod in transport that I'm going to try something out with which will hopefully be here next month.

Image

Below are the gauges I'm most probably going to buy, I spent some time researching them and found they are very popular in the 4x4 scene. With guys across multiple forums saying they read spot on when compared to tuning/dyno software. They have a recall function and a programmable warning light too which can come in handy
