Re: Yemin's 'Tiny' SE
Went out to the MX5-club track day over the weekend. Turned out to be a great day. A bit warm for my liking and would like to avoid summer time track events in the future..
Carried out some track prep, changing the transmission and diff gear oil with Redline products.
Ended up using MT-90 for the transmission. Will give the MT-L ago next time. Seem like an easy job to do so I will do this more regularly.
Adaptronic ECU was also upgraded to new firmware to fix some issues but it also created more issues.. man it is never ending..
Idle hunting is back (very slightly) and also the radiator fans seem to be coming on too frequently or it is staying on most of the time...
Will have to spend some time to sit in the car and monitor what is triggering this.
Couple of photos from the track event. Thanks to member gsu003 for the track action photos..
Cos no free garage, a bit of shade to cool down..
Another spot to cool down the car...
Another spot
When the car is not cooling down
thanks for looking

Great looking car!
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
