Wouldn't mind this car in this colour, it's slightly more than I would like to pay? About 1500 more

The puller worked really well, although not perfect it has brought the boot lid into line and now looks pretty straight. I just used a tree some rope and hooked it up gave a few ratchet pulls and it came good.

I've just taken in a ford ka with a rear end. Managed to get the boot open to find the lower part of the car panel is inwards by a couple of inches, would a 4 ton puller work or do I need more like a ten ton puller? Any advice would be great

Yes it was a fantastic experience. Very well organised sessions. The mx-5 held up really well with no problems so we were pleased with that. Only thing we could not get right was the video recording.

If you were there and want 10 pics for £10 give us a pm.

Had my first track day at snetterton yesterday, great full on fun in my track mx-5, my zed was sold :-( last week, the silver zed was very quick looked to be supercharged,if your thinking of doing a track day I recommend it.

Did any of you see this at japfest 2 ?

I wouldn't mind an old skyline but worried about the cost of mechanicals going wrong. Like looking at kit cars westies etc. Quite like old clk 320s and 430s. Had a few mercs and Audis, Would go for a 370z but still pricey etc. S2000 is something I'd like to try out. I do have a fun mk1 track day mx-5 Bought a couple of weeks back, going to snetterton next Monday for my first track day..

What a great car it has been, but now off to Paris with its new owner. Can't believe it's gone. What next?

Yep done that, could be onto a good idea there????

Just wondered is there a driving game/app that lets you drive uk tracks to get used to them Before driving them for real ?

Hi rob and welcome to the forum, I may selli my uk 2005 350z , it's a good car and I love it .it has just been fully p3 serviced and had new discs, pads and drives well, it is a cat d which had a rear end but repaired now, would sell it for a good low price. Good luck looking for a car.

Thx, I'm not on the mend yet, it was an agonizing train journey there, but not to bad driving home, however it took me a good ten minutes to get out the car from the bucket seat "teeth" then a good dose of tramadol to kill the pain.

Finally managed to get a track ready car "mx5" seems the perfect car for beginner track days, anyone at japfest 2 may have seen it on track it was the NATO green one with shark teeth "luv it". Picked it up last night and drove it home 60 miles even though I have a slipped disc or was worth the pain!! Here's a couple of pics, I'm sure it's been seen around. Has roll bar, race exhaust, induction kit, eibach suspension, race wheels etc.racing seat No rust as import. No supercharger or turbo but for a 1.8 it pulls quite well, can't wait to track it I'm thinking of going to Bedford for my first day out next month.

Oh we'll, he has agreed to do it as a non paying bidder? This has happened due to me being off from work for a considerable period, holidays , then illness, more illness must be the heavy meds playing games on my mind, gonna chill and wait for the right car. Ps. Sorry mods this threads in servicing, please move it if pos or delete Thx

Just feel sorry for the seller however a genuine error on my part even though I had switched the snipe off it still bid?

Yes I have emailed him just now to check as it was not sold on eBay unless it went privately Thx

Oh dear, big error just happened LOL 30 min ago I set up sniper to bid on the mx5, then 10min ago I switched it off As ive now seen the track car however it has still bid and won the car for 998 OH DEAR, what do you think get it do it up or see if I can get a proven track version, how much will it take to get this track ready as me thinks more than 1500? Feel so awkward tel in the seller

Blimey, that looks and sounds more or less just what the doctor ordered, would save a lot of hassle if I could get a ready to go track car

Don't mind a little rust, but ill call the seller and ask the q Ta

Right lads heads up, there's a nice little mx5 going in 30 mins, item 360729004776 Is this gonna be any good to buy and then get it track preped. Or is this newer model not desirable for track use, I'm not upto speed on the mx5 but sounds like you guys may be in the know, perhaps I should buy a tatty old one for about 4-500?

Seems like a bit of a mine field with that all said, puts me right off thinking of buying it especially not being fully mechanically aware,

Thx all That's a bucket full of good advice there, especially Ekona you rely say it as it is and make me lean towards the mx5, I did go to buy one 2 months ago but turned it down after giving it the once over and test drive, I think this put me off them altogether but it was because I was buying to flip it. Had a look on fleabay and looking at Bidding on a locost on eBay with a 2l pinto in it, item no. 221275198836

Looking at buying a locost or Westfield to do some track days, got about 3-4k to spend, but then thought why not put my zed on the track, it's a totally stock 2005 94k, just had full p3 new discs pads etc, the only issues are clutch related, has the soft sticking pedal when hot so prob needs slave cyl and hose kit"are these hard to fit" what's the overall cost, my other worry is that if I took it on track and the dual mass flywheel went would this cause further extensive damage to the car, reason I say this is because I get very loud scary thuds when dropping from say 4th to 3rd gear with heavy acceleration, which I have been told by a specialist is likely my flywheel, clutch don't slip yet, would rather the comfort as well on track as my back is not very good and I keep getting spasms in my spine. Perhaps the best action may be do the whole clutch assembly and be confident its done but then don't want to waste a possibly good clutch which can be used up on track and put the money on tyres etc Thoughts appreciated "only positive ones please"

Just called them, very friendly and welcomed us up there and yes track days available, waiting for the prices, but I'm sure they will be high. Def going on either fri/ sat even if its just to watch, we can also do some shopping in Ronda to please the wife. Will let you know how it goes.
