Hey guys,
I was mostly a lurker over on Nutz but may post a build thread here, so thought an introduction would be a good start.
I've had 3 MX5's over the years;
Starting with the best of them all - 250BHP and one of the cleanest I've ever seen.
The oil pump failed, I brought a new engine, opened it up and it was f*cked. I broke the car and I still regret it.
Move on to a Mk2, previously owned by Steve Woodings who won the FDMC Autosolo championship in it
Fixed loads of broken sh*t, mainly with a hammer and brick, but never got on well with the car, possibly a disappointment factor coming from my previous one.
Finally, the new girl, who I will hopefully start a thread about. Purchased from Carl Leonard and needs a new Headgasket and a lot of tidying up, will hopefully be worth it.
The workmanship is fantastic.
Tucked away for its headgasket
Once its running I'll try and get down to a Bracknell meet, will be entering as many autosolo's as possible once its done as well as a few trackdays and a Ring trip. I'll try and contribute knowledge/stupidity to the forum as and when I can! Thanks for the new home Mr Horne.
