  1. 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)?
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. Almost certainly, had a great time.
  6. 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.
  7. Me and a few lads I know through 350z ownership went to Oulton Park this weekend to try out their drift day. As an absolute novice and owner of a non-drift built MX5 I was bricking it - mainly about embarrassing myself but also about bending it off something sold. I need not have worried, I span SO MANY times it no longer embarrasses me and the car (despite some off-road adventures) stood up all day long. The amount of track abuse this MX5 has had from me and taken it all, is astonishing! Anyway, here's how you don't drift
  8. You sure the key in the lock is not just the barrel lock being uncooperative because it's probably not been used in 20 years? I'd get some lube in there and be persuasive with the key.
  9. The nostrils aren't to my taste, but I can easily look past them (can't see them in the driver's seat!) as the rest is absolutely awesome. What a fantastic "sensible" daily! Congrats!

    Defo what Dan said, watch for the gotchas on remote power to the stock amp (will manifest as no volume after installation). You need an power on ignition feed to it, if memory serves EDIT - hang on, is that just the 350?
  11. Hi David, I've approved this for now, but please can you add one photo with the items plus your name on a bit of paper - as per the FS ad rules.
