Hi guys n gals!

Thought I'd put a thread up of my nugget here!

Just a bit of a background....I had a 254rwkw R33 gtst for over 3 years, was just getting a bit costly for me to run at the track etc while Ive got a wedding coming up. So after 6 months of looking for a cheaper replacement, I found the mx5 up in QLD.

The car was built and logged as a CAMS 2F race car.

Can be eligable for FOSC, Prod Sports, MX5 challenge, etc

(I'll hopefully be doing MRA and MX5 challenge in 2010)

I havent done too much since buying it, but previous owner bought it stock standard and stripped it and caged it and log booked it!

He raced it for over a year up in QLD, but got into money issues and needed to sell. And I needed to buy :)

So...

Its a 1994 MX5 NA8 Clubman.

Mods when I bought it...

6 point cage

sparco drivers seat with 5 pt harness

daytona passenger seat with sparco 3 pt harness

TEIN Flex coil overs

Whiteline front sway bar

Some a/market caster and camber bushes etc

Brake master cylinder brace

stripped interior

CAMS approved tow hooks and kill switch

Braided brake and clutch lines

Toyo R888 semi's

A shot just after I bought it.

Got it engineered down here in NSW through Greg and Brad @ autosport engineering - big thumbs up there!!!!

Since I have owned it, I have added....

MX5Mania cold air induction - can see it in engine bay shot.

Full exhaust system,

4-2-1 extractors, high flow cat and 2.5" cat back exhaust

advanced timing from 10degrees to 14 degress.

Also added RDA slotted rotors with QFM A1RM pads

Just Jap shift light

So far times I have done...

Car prob makes around 70-80rwkw! It has pretty good corner speed, just lacks straight line speed LOL

Plans for next year are cams and an ECU - can net upto 100rwkw - while its not MASSIVE power, it helps in a lighter car!

Anyhoo, a few pics from some track days,

While its not going to set any world records, its a fkn fun car to drive, and will teach me alot about driving @ the track, and set me up for later races and door to door!

Here is a vid from our SAU NSW OP GP day

Thanks for reading,

I'll update as I go :bunny:

Cheers,

Chris

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
