Think you can get me and my piss weak MX5 to drift mate?

Definately... If you want Fatz will get in the car with you - get you started by body rolling the car. By the end of the day the MX5 will be doing something that resembles a drift. Either way you will have plenty of fun and get plenty of advance car control practice.

can i drift my stock auto? (its a serious question)

Auto really does not stop you doin much.. There are a few drifting autos in competition.

My breakage list so far consists of:

Brake Master Cylinder

Calipers

Radiator plastic tank

Exhaust manifold studs

Coils

...and thats 3 trackdays.

ahh you have been unlucky mate.

In over 30 trackdays I did

Rear Diff $500

Engine $2000

which is about $83 in damage per day :spank:

+consumables like brake pads, fluid and oil

Drifting??? Why would ANYONE drift when you could go to a nationally recognised drag racing meet andf compete.

Ghey ar$ed drifters - get over yourselves and come to a REAL motorsport :D

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
