Weevils 94 MX5 Clubman track hack

so managed to take the car for a drive this evening to see how the new mounts went.
zero vibration/knocking noise = awesome!!!

Have also entered a supersprint on 11th march - hoping to better my pissy 1.13.6

Any tips for the drivers side??
I did the passenger the other day.
Dreading the drivers.

yep.

Loosen all bolts on block a couple turns NO MORE.
Undo both sides at the subframe (underneath).
Use a jack under the sump to get the engine up and the mounts free.
Push the engine to the passenger side is back in and secure it with a nut back on a few turns, then jack the engine and you will have HEAPS of clearance as the engine twists.

Remove bolts totally.

great day at the track....weather wise and track time wise.....

I managed a PB in my first session however I wish I never looked at the TV to show my times, I saw it and went "yep, sweet, thats cool and I can beat that!!"

no.....

I tried too hard and drove too sloppy.

first session did a 1.13.54
last session 1.13.51

still a PB (Previous was a 1.13.65)

not much to report on since last supersprint.

I bought one of those buffers to pollish my cars with, the MX5 hasnt been so clean and shiney since....well, since Ive owned it!

finally got it registered today so might take a leisurely drive down old pac tomorrow.
nothing else really to report on, quite depressing really!

anyone want to buy it?

LOL @ SAU's interpretation of a motorkhana.

Great driving there though, kept it well and truly in control the whole time.

While sharing skyline vids, heres the only one I could find of my old car doing the reverse lazy eight test.

As you can see, Ive been fighting open diffs and over-driving no matter what car Im in for the last few years
