Ive been on the forums for a while now so thought I would start something here!
First of all - Big thanks to Paul - TCR. He built 95% of this car and did an amazing job.
I previously had an R33 GTS25t (who hasnt??! haha) and it made a decent 255rwkw. had some decent mods and did a few supersprints/hillclimbs and even superlap in 2008!
So, wanted to get more into racing, and was sick of pouring money into a skyline.
For as long as I owned my R33, my Dad has had his NA6. I drove down Old Pac and Galston Gorge and couldnr beleive our fun a stock, low powered car was around corners!
started looking around at other options, and everywhere I looked and people I talked to, MX5 was always on top of the list.
So...I bought one!
Paul had it built and logged as a CAMS 2f prod sports car.
When I bought it it had...
6 point full cage
sparco drivers seat and daytona passenger
harnesses
stripped interior
TEIN flex coilovers
whiteline front sway bar and bushes
tow hooks and battery isolator
15" wheels
braided lines
hardtop
so, decent gear on it already which was good as I wanted something 90% done so I didnt have to pour money into it like my old R33
Since purchasing the car...
got it engineered and rego'd in NSW
Mania cold air intake
Extractors, high flow cat and 2.5" cat back exhaust
ASI 42mm radiator
Mania water/coolant reroute
ecliptech shiftlight
RDA slotted rotors all round
Front intake light scoops
I think thats all I have done!!
So 2009 I did an interclub supersprint with a club Im with which is the Southern Sporting Car Club.
In the sprints, Im in class 2B. in 2009 I won my class in the club and also the inter club challenge. Was pretty darn good feeling!!!!!
I then decided to get into door to door racing and did an MRA round at Oran Park.
This was awesome! It was such an eye opener!!! I never came last and had some mad battles with other cars - the MX5 really held its own out there!
So a few photos....
the car next to it, is *hopefully* going to be my tow car with a month or two!
new scoops fitted in my dodgy unit garage (thank god I bought a house and now have a maaaaad garage!)
the radiator fitted
new shiftlight fitted
