What did you do to your MX5 today ?

by **Stig** » Thu, 29 Jan 2009 3:00 +0000

I did the "lights on BUZZER" mod last night.
Verrrry easy to do - just 5 mins. I taped my buzzer up a good bit to muffle the buzzing out of it cos it was annoying, tho i guess its meant to be.

Now,
i have 2 buzzers in my 5 - one for my toad immobiliser and one for the lights on. Any more and I'll go INSANE! **

** you're probably saying "Ollie, you're fecking clean MAD already" :lol:

We qualified as a semi pro drifter. Well not me, the other half of MoT.
All this in an under powered car with no lock. Only 5 out of 30 people got licences and it would have been a pro licence if the car had been better. But still, quite an achievement as the car is all but stock and the engine totally stock and 100bhp down on the next least powerful.

As the circuit is only 15mins from my house I thought I'd start the day with a leisurely breakfast of coffee and bacon sarnies, got my two boys dressed and ambled to Llandow for 9am. There were a few people up waaaay before me.

The pitcrew (Andrew, John, and Nick) were all looking as professional as usual ensuring Al's car was tip-top and ready for action While a slightly nervous Al looked worriedly at all the vastly more powerful tackle surrounding his MX5. He really shouldn't have worried....

It was cold and windy. Typical February in Wales...

Some reasonable stuff in the paddock...

Al kicked off his first run testing carefully what levels of grip were available...

While others started with a flourish...

...and ended in tears.

There were a few impressive runs...

and a few who looked as if they had done this before...

Soon enough, our boy got the hang of things. I gave a little cheer as Al completed his first successful run and it made me smile to see both his arms shoot into the air as he crossed the finish line. I guess he was a bit relieved

He definately got some style points too...

This little Toyota went as well as looked too...

This obviously helped...

Unfortunately my boys were getting a little bored so I had to leave early. So I can't say how the license thing went. If the runs went as well as the practice, I'm sure Al was just fine. Especially with the moral support from the crew....

Nige and his young lady (I'm so sorry but I forgot your name) were also supporting but I couldn't find them for a piccy. Thanks for reading my brief report. :nickd:

Love the Carolla DX.......Nice day there Nick!

Went from this

To this

Seriously solid bar, mounted at three points on each side and when grabbed it shakes the entire car.
Thanks to Alan on here, great guy to deal with.
