Had some fun practice with some mates on Valentines day https://youtu.be/b6bP9aSAe4Y

Wheres the details? Im tempted

I lost because of the dirt drops

So my Taupo D1 weekend didnt go quite to plan but was a good laugh. https://youtu.be/z_elG1nOTAs

Cheers man, hopefully Ill be able to mess with a few people at Taupo. Im trying to get an exemption for NOS so I can have enough power but we will see if it goes through.

Cheers man! Thought I better do an update So had my first crack at competition level over the weekend. D1NZ Pro sport which is the feeder series for D1NZ-Pro. Drove the car 3 hours down to Tauranga and my prayers were answered as it was soaking wet! I got in a decent amount of practice dialing in the car for the conditions. Sadly qualifying was cancelled as it kept bucketing down and there were a few crashes because of the standing water. I was only just linking the track nicely in the wet so I was a bit concerned about the dry. So we decided on 70PSI and I went out. Even with the short run up I was linking the track, not super well but enough to qualify in 14th place! I had wrecked my tyres in qualifying as I had been running them all day so I put on my daily Yokos with 80PSI in hoping the slightly smaller dia would help when following. I came up against 3rd seed Calvin Clark who knows how to drive. On my lead run I lay down possibly my best run all day which left me with a huge grin! Sadly on the chase run the rear was a bit too slipper and I was feathering the throttle and shallowing angle to try keep up which ended up with me losing. But Im still exetremely happy with how it went! So next round is in Taupo which is another bit of a drive but its a track I have done so I should hopefully be a bit more comfortable. Thanks to my mate Dave we have some outcar video and incar! Out car https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTwn5-mFbOM&feature=youtu.be In car I have also made a page on facebook so I can try and get some sponsors because as I found out its quite expensive doing competition, if you could have a look that would be much appreciated. https://www.facebook.com/ThatGreenMX5/?fref=nf

Someone finally got a video from the outside when I was drifting on the rally tyres and makings dort noises.

Money money money, thats rotaries. Keen to hear it screammmmmmmmmmm

Finally got the ITB setup in So got the ITBs and new head in, not much power difference in figures but peak power and torque have moved up in the rev range. Peak power is at nearly 8000 and torque is flat from about 5000-7000 before it slightly drops off. So took it to a drift day on friday and had lots of fun making heaps of Dooort noises everywhere. And heres a few of the clips I got, gearbox isnt the happiest at the moment but it fine for high speed. Just doesnt like low speed changes at high RPM like the 5 speed did. https://youtu.be/EioroBzzrW8

Hopefully be Dorting my way there

Talent/lack of common sense. Turns out I should have driven faster only got 9th http://www.mgclub.org.nz/includes/download.aspx?ID=141502

Cheers guys, did have a few close moments. The subframe hit a couple times if I went to far inside but its not toooo bad. Car club didnt mind as long as you dont be a muppet or stack it. That and MX5s are too cute sideways to say no. Unless your at Taupo or Hampton and you get black flagged heaps

Went for my first hillclimb today, was awesome fun. Had never been out this way or on this road but was great. A few close moments but came away unscathed. https://youtu.be/wolsan9NpN4

Saddened by BF shakes I might get Mexicali and/or subway

Stink that the burgerfuel shakes are 2/3rds the size. Might get subway or Mexicali next time

Tacho over reads as limiter is actually 7000RPMm for the Hydraulic lifters sadly but she handles the abuse pretty well. New power actually keeeps the wheels spinning which is great. I'm going to make some setup tweaks to try get more out of it so hopefully they work. Sadly I need to replace my front tyres as they are wrecked from sliding the front at Taupo

Tried a new track over the weekend and my new rear swaybar. Even made some smoke And a vid https://youtu.be/g-6SIrj--fQ

So its been a while since I've updated anything but I'll just keep it simple. Got the head in with the new cams and ECU, all tuned 96Kw and 150nm at the fly which is pretty dam good! So I had my first competition and first test day with the new engine setup. Stewy Bryant and Shane Van Gisbergen were competing too which made it more interesting. Managed to get used to it pretty quick and come away with second in NA and Turbo class! https://youtu.be/wredLvh9Ip4 The next day was just a fun day with more great drivers and some good tandems https://youtu.be/foyuni7BGjE Here's a couple of videos from the outside too https://youtu.be/oQ8jwu25xnQ https://www.facebook.com/obliquemedia/videos/631978156942617/?pnref=story

Been a bit slack in posting but heres a couple vids from late. This was Taupo yesterday https://youtu.be/eavApF-8qC4 And Hampton a couple weeks back https://youtu.be/yEk7r5H0P5M Not much has happened with the car as usual apart from the panels getting a little rougher and the rear bumper is pretty toast.

Cheers man! always cool to see some vids fro the outside!

So went for a nearly 4 hour drive to try out a new track(By new I mean one I havent done) and had a blast. Was great fun even with a couple of mistakes... First time trying out the 7J +0 MKIIs I bought for more lock clearance and they dont rub at all which is excellent. They look good too Got a video from the day And these showed up, got the Cams, Gears, ECU just need some shims for the lifters and we will be all go. So thats where its at for now. Hopefully next update will be with ECU etc in!

Taken the day off and will be there for bargers
