Some comedy gold in this thread haha [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]

I've made my list pretty simple for myself. Plans:

1. Take the MX-5 out more often. More weekend cruising and late night blasts.
2. Concentrate more on restoring the car, instead of modifying it.
3. Attend more club/social events.
4. Attend my first ever track day.

Goal:

Enjoy the MX-5 for what it is right now!

3. Sell 2 cars (not mx5s). Not the golf! :shock:

4. Get my NA6 engineered and enjoy. Should have been number 1! :wink:

Hahaha, nearly spat out my coffee!

Yes you're right Trixie should have been listed as #1 and is all that I'm working in right now.
No not the golf.
I'm serious about the hoist and do have the height an space in my single garage.
Put it this way, last year I was chatting on this forum how I wanted a Golf R32. Two weeks later we had one :D

Yeah, should revisit just for laughs.

ManiacLachy wrote:Good idea Magpie, be sure to bring it back up at the end of the year for review :wink:

Plans:
1. Install the intercooler I've had sitting in my garage for 2 months or so. Done - Thanks Magpie!
2. Get on the track with the QLD Club and start driving. Done, with mixed results
3. Improve my on track driving. Done, thanks to Morgan Park
4. ECU (and supporting tech) and tune (E85?). Not done. Got quoted, and want to go ahead, but this will have to fall to next year
5. More track time. Didn't really get a lot of track time. 3 laps at QR, a day at Morgan Park, Happy Laps at Lakeside

Goals:
Basically to find my starting point on track (QR & Lakeside) and improve.


Next year theres a few things I'd like to get sorted on the car, and should make a few more track days. Would also like to go on more club runs for the social fun aspect and explore roads I wouldn't otherwise find myself on.
