Picked up my Lightyear fastback.
Hopefully will paint it soon. Image

Paint it a matching red so it looks like the super rare coupe.

Nice! If I didn't already have a HT I'd be lining up for one of these.

I added a shiny turbo badge to the SE to make it go faster.

I'd just paint that small rear boot section red to match the car - always loved the original red Honda NSX with black roof look.

Took my new build MX5 NC01 to Wakefield for it's shake down run.
Perfect day, dry with a max of 32 degrees and only 25 cars at the track.
First run I had a best lap of 1:12.63. Thought this was great for the first time this car hit the track.
Fitted the rear wing I purchased and set a best lap of 1:11.59 with 3 laps of 6 in the session in the 11's.
Looking forward to South Circuit on the 22nd April.

Cleaned all four wheels and brakes. They came out like new.

Did an oil change over the weekend (among other things). More than happy with how this oil has been going

Not only is it working, the tins look great as they are metal!

Oil in cans seem to be rather common in Japan. I noticed a heap of Castrol Edge etc all in cans in some videos inside Up Garage etc. Looks so much better than the poverty pack plastic bottles we get. Probably cheaper as well.

The 1ltr bottles (metal as well) look even better than the tins!
