Important insurance information for attendees of meets and anyone intending to organising meets. The Club does not cover members or individuals to organise events or use the forum name to host, promote or advertise events. This forum and the “Meets” subforum is for sharing events that are being organised by other parties, who will have event insurance in place. The club accepts no liability for individuals, cars or property for third party claims, accident, damage, injury, traffic offences and incidents when on or off the public highway. Club members and cars partaking in meets have to conform to the current Road Traffic Act, be properly insured, taxed, be roadworthy and obey all applicable laws. Any damage of any kind remains the responsibility of the car owner or the person causing the damage. The Club recommends all members suitably insure their cars. If members choose to attend or organise meets, they do so at their own risk and are recommended to ensure they and the event have suitable insurance in place.

I was feeling pretty good about acquiring my first ever garage space, until I saw this thread You've got some great spaces there lads!

Not that I’m aware of, but it’s a place to look given all the others are done. After that you’re into multimeter and checking for signal.

Relay and fuse were my best guesses, any sign of water, either current or historic, around the BCM?

Approved for now but please include a photo with you username on a bit of paper.

Not driven Mallory, but it looks more challenging and fun than I expected, how do you rate it for a track day and laps laps laps (rather than sprint)?

Welcome along. Problems with warm start for mine was cam position sensors. It was a long time ago now, but I think someone told me not to mess around with none genuine ones as the car was fussy.

Morning. Admins have been on holiday over the BH weekend, apologies for the slow response. You can't see you post, because you can't post for sale adverts yet - the rules on selling can be found at

Gorgeous.

For anyone wondering about tyre wear, perhaps tempted to book on but worried you'll need to buy two new rears by lunch time? I used less than 1mm on this day out on my Cup 2s.

Almost certainly, had a great time.

No instruction this time, it was booked up. So I was just making it up as I was going along - which is definitely what was wrong In retrospect, and in my uneducated opinion, I was being way too aggressive to start off with. Too much throttle, too much angle, slow hands. When I calmed down it started to make more sense. Also the surface was EXTREMELY slick. Even when it was dry, in a car as powerless as an MX5, you could easily break traction - so as soon as they wet it, it was very hard to catch the car (for a novice at least) if you went OTT. What I would say is that for someone like me, who is not in the least bit interested in drifting as a sport, it was incredible fun and a nice alternative to the usual track day of just trying to go as fast as possible. it's nice to be able to get it wrong and not worry too much (my mates in the GTR and Gran Truismo were a bit more careful than me!). As you can hear from the footage, we had a laugh all day and I used about a quarter of a tank of petrol (normally track day involves a top up at lunch time) and because they soak the track, I don't think my tyres even got that much abuse - I will measure when I wash the mud off the car at the weekend.
