Right I have myself a dilema, yesterday I invested in a std 98 1.8 mx-5, I have plans to turn it into a trackday toy, :drive1 with a few modifications, SUPERCHARGER, suspension, brakes and LSD. Now do I bring this to Oulton Park or the ZED? had a little slidy fun earlier and really had to work it hard to keep it sliding without an lsd, so dont know how well ill be able to link the drifts, I can do it in the zed with ease (most of the time).

Bring the mx-5 man! Thats the whole point of having it! Im there in the rx7, so we can have a battle of the beasts :lol:

 

My diff is welded, so it'l be easier to drift, but it handles like a boat - but the mx-5 should be light and agile, so both cars will be fun!

 

... or see if you can find somewhere to weld your diff this week - should be a quick cheap job.

I thought about welding it, but i wanna use it for proper trackdays n not just drifting, drove my mates e30 with welded diff this afternoon n didnt like it. I did buy the car to stop myself from sliding the zed around burning out tyres and eventually crashing it. If I can get a diff this week ill def bring it :-)

You ll be fine in the mx-5 m8! There is not much traction on the tracks anyway so you will not need more power... ;)

 

Thing is tho you have to drive to oulton park in the banger first!!! :p:lol:

Thats why im bringing my zed too - so if our shitbox goes bang, we have a backup :lol:

 

Spent all night on it tonight with my mates... painted the wheels silver and have been making some camera mounts. Got one between the seats, and drilled one through the dash, which works great!
