Wow what a fantastic job you have done on it. Very rare to see a car that I totally like but you have achieved it. Way up there with the best I have seen.

So what's happened over the last two years?......about 500km! That is all.

Still love the super flat torque curve.

Put some new (had them for a couple of years) shoes on her last week...RPF1's in 17 x 7" shod with 205/40R17 Toyos.

Oh yeah...and fitted a Racing Beat cat-back exhaust system!

Cheers,
Danny

And we're bringing our motley cars to your joint to detail them, and we think they'll be up to this level of greatness?

Who's idea was that? I'll have to have words!! :lol:

Ummm Jace .. i'd give anything to own THAT car and as Danny will attest I have one of the rarest NA6's in the country

OK Danny, let's make mine shine on the 18th as good as your NA!! :wink:

Missed catching you Monday was in and out pretty quick getting the NA serviced :frown:

I hope with a bit of adjustment I may be able to smooth out the ride through turn 2 at Queensland Raceway. The EDFC is still to be wired in. I just plugged everything in, added some power and an earth, then reset the dampers and set a starting point.

So this was the 10th October 2009!!! The good news is that 5 years on the race car now runs...so I finally got around to installing and wiring in the EDFC unit for the Tein Flex's. :mrgreen:

I had also been wanting to add a set of Defi gauges to "complete" the car.

You can see the EDFC controller through the bottom left quadrant of the steering wheel.

After going through no less than three N-Power rear mufflers over a 3 year period due to broken welds that locate the perforated tube internally (causing a horrible rattle), I finally woke up and fitted a new genuine Racing Beat unit last year.

.....so that's a wrap. :beer:

Yes Mark. The guys have hit the ground running in 2015.

I can see my car in the background as well and whilst this makes me happy there is an empty feeling as well (and not just from the wallet)

Lets hope 2015 is a great year for all MX5 owners/drivers. I'm looking forward to entries opening for WTAC 2015.

Have really been enjoying driving this as a daily for the past 3 weeks. Tomorrow will see 180,000km tick over on the odometer. That's only 30,000km in the last 12 years. :oops:

Danny
