Noooope don't sell it man, to me thats the cleanest MX in NZ. Done nicely. I only hope to get mine to that level soon.

^^ Thats not a bad idea. I usually hate bodykits but I'm pretty keen to see how Kierans will turn out, won't do it for mine but cool to see something different.

^^ Nice, I was at the same trackday, got some of my best shots there too. Wish I'd turned up earlier though to catch a few more cars. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3850/14617254084_ae2bef4311_b.jpg NZ Trackday Pukekohe 06.07.14 by Skilfil , on Flickr https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5506/14436126367_...

Mind if I advertise on FB once we start to confirm a few things? People need to get their shit together and make a decent turn out.

I'm keen to tag along again, will have better brakes this time.. Long or short doesn't bother me, I suppose preference to the long one as I've driven it many times and its always a nice drive.

Front is Goodyear Assurances, rears Pirelli P6000's. Fronts worn down a fair bit and the rears weren't the best anyway due to hardened compound.

Shit I would have thought most of the hondas would have been running 15's?? Except the DC2 and DC5's of course.

Chris's MX5 doesn't have a front lip, but if you want a GVBRO style one you can use mine for a mould?

Pretty jealous of your living situation. I'd love to be in walking distance of a racetrack.

Lol that guy got a bit defensive, I knew you were clearly joking after what I said.

Shit I thought it was Saturday, well I'm coming anyway in my car from West Auckland, keen to cruise down with you lot.

This. Anything over 15" on an NA is a bit silly.

16's can fit nicely, but anything bigger is nuts. Unless you're Donovan with a stonking V8 in your little NA.

Should enter ACJS

July 6th - Pukekohe Trackday Includes an impromptu time attack at the end of the day, should prove to be interesting.

Almost tempted to get those seats off you, foamectamy ftw.

The gravel was the best bit! Shit that was fun, heres a pic

Haha no worries I had a red one first, I know the red paint pain. Got a friend asking if your RG's are for sale now

Ooh. The dark blue one is cool. Thanks its mine haha, was a great run, I loved the gravel section in particular, nearly managed to link up a few corners sideways :lol: Bit of a bugger my brakes were overheating and my clutch couldn't put up with the turbo. Will have some pics coming soon courtesy o...

Haha he actually nearly bought my MX5 but the typical euro is hogging his money to stay alive.

Is it ok if a friend brings his Golf GTI? We were planning on doing some filming on Sunday but since thats cruise day, they want to come and do some filming/photography.

Ooooh.

Fair point Donovan, I guess to me fast is straight line stupid fasts. Pure hp, in saying that, I do remember Terry's MX5 being fairly well sorted and nearly lifting the front tyres at Meremere. Mind you, it'll all be a moot point soon, Mad Mikes rotor NC MX5 will blow anything else out for a good wh...

Ah there we go, nope was more concerned with the return trip. Its insane (Although not surprising at all) how much gas I eat through with the turbo compared to the n/a.

I'm fairly confident the fastest MX5 at current in NZ, will be the twin turbo Lexus V8 one running down south.

Just a point, any 98 stations on the way? I don't plan on burning through my whole tank but its very possible.
