Dan's NC track toy

Hey dan. I think I still have my stock muffler in the shed doing nothing.

I'm overseas currently but will be home in 12 days

So the end of an era has come and the MX5 is with it's new owner Nuddy, was a sad day seeing it go but I'm really happy the car went to a good home where it will continue to be dríven on the track, here is was going to it’s new home

It’s a long story about how I ended up with the car as I stepped through a 987 Cayman which I got rid of but I ended up getting myself a 2013 Porsche Boxster S which is the 981 series to replace the MX5 and the Evo when I sell it so I’m still in the convertible club, the MX5 and Evo were nice but the Porsche is on another level - The handling is amazing with Porsche’s suspension setup out of the box along with being mid engined and weighing 1,350 kg's plus putting out 230kw out of a 3.4L flat 6 gives it all the power it needs with a great sound so nothing needs to be done to the car. It’s just an amazing car to drive and I can keep the factory warranty extending out to 10 years which is nice.

The one thing I'll miss with the MX5 is the strong community around the cars and some of the great people I've met in my time owning it, I hope to see a few of you around at some track days in the future or on a cruise..

Good work Dan. Hope to see you around.

Dan
you can run the Evo or the Boxster at MX-5 club trackdays.
Some of them are combined with MX-5 Cup rounds so you can see how the car you built gets on racing.

Well that was quite a read - 16 pages!
Great to read the story of the car that I bought from Dan.
I have done really well benefiting from the work and development Dan put into this car.
I will start a new topic referring back to this one and continuing to document the development of this NC.

Well it is up for sale again.
I have bought a red NC with full cage and a full race n/a 2.5 Deckspeed engine + other performance and handling mods.
So the black car is for sale - pretty much as Dan had it + half race 2.5 Deckspeed engine.
It will be listed in the for sale section of this forum tomorrow.
