Hi all. Thought there was a track forum on her but, as the title says, is the 'drome floodlit? Thinking of the first one of the year next Monday it's still sun down about 6 o'clock. Only been in the summer months before so was wondering if they light the track? Cheers, Quad

Hi Everyone, I have a slot booked with a garage for Brands Hatch on the 7th of December with the company Mazda on Track. Having to sell due due to a death in the family and thus I wont be able to make it. I've been the phone to Mazda on track and they have said that I just need to let them...

Hi All Firstly to introduce myself, my name is Tim and I have been lurking around this site for over a year now. I was first introduced to Mx5 ownership in 1997 when I bought my wife a standard Classic Red 1.6 Eunos Roadster. At the time as well as my daily driver (a 1.8 Ford Escort Ghia) I...

Right the time has come (after years of being a lurker) to put up some information about my car and the future plans I have for it. The idea is to turn it into "my perfect sports car". I was first introduced the joys of driving a mk1 after borrowing my ex girlfriends car whilst at university...

I have been in the market over the last year for a new set of premium track orientated coilovers for my Hillclimb and trackday 5. My car was previously running Protech derived P5 Puredrives which I rated highly. As the car has become a competition vehicle now and its solely used on track (But...

Hello everyone, I am writing this post as I noticed something kind of strange on my first trackday with this car. I'll start off by specifying that when I bought the car it had an overheating issue which turned out to be the waterpump although the thermostat also was replaced and the cooling...

The new version of the NR-A has just been launched. It follows a similar recipe to the earlier ones. Stripped down base spec car with added performance + optional track parts. In this case, it's a 1.5 6MT with the 2.0 chassis + height adjustable Bilstein, bigger radiator, and improved LSD...

I've had my mk1 for about 4 and a half years now and still haven't done a proper build thread. This is a quick summary of where I am now with the car, with the few pictures I could find. She was sold to me as 1996 1.6 with a turbo "conversion". Had I known then what I know now I probably would...

. It's been a long time since the last MLR trackday at Croft, but it's great to be going back on Friday 21st August ahead of the Petrol & Pistons Show featuring the 5th round of Time Attack. DETAILS : open pitlane so you can come and go on track all day as you wish 105dBA static - noisy day...

I've just booked onto this, may be of interest to others on here. http://www.pistonheads.com/news/general-pistonheads/track-days-at-hethel/32187 Looking forward to it, I've heard it has a few good sections!

Finally took the plunge and treated myself to a 30th birthday present and bought a 5 after much deliberation. Was looking for a while as all the best deals would disappear instantly. This will be used as a second car for weekends / roadtrips / friends to borrow and most importantly trackdays...

We have been involved in tuning MX5's for over ten years now and we are probably reasonably well known for our NA performance upgrades on the Mk1 MX5. As a company we specialise in suspension and engine tuning and we have now owned our own Mk3.5 NC for over a year. During this time we have been...

We now have a 210bhp n/a car with over 200ft lb torque...... I'm not prepared to give all the details right now, but anyone wanting to drive the car and discuss is very welcome to call me and make an appointment. Paul

Morning all, I'm thinking of stripping out my 5, seeing as I predominantly use it as a trackday / weekend country roads car. Unlike a few of you lovely people here, I like to keep my car neat, shiny and largely OEM-standard (tucked wires, washed and shined, no roller paint / plastidip, etc) -...

13th July. Only 10 places left at Cadwell, so also only 10 chances to get Oulton for £120 too. Cadwell and Oulton are two of the great circuits in the UK, Unlike Silverstone, Snetterton, Mallory, Croft and all the other airfield derived circuits they have gradient changes that make them both...

Sorry if some parts don't make sense, it's copied and pasted from another forum. So, as some may remember, I had this which I built up from scratch to a damn good spec: But I had an itch for a Honda, it wouldn't go away, so I swapped it for this, B16, ITR cams, ITR box, Cusco diff etc...

Is anybody else booked on this trackday? A few of my friends were supposed to book on but they're being flaky. I'm not too bothered as I'm there to drive, but it's nice to have someone to talk to.

So after Goodwood Sam & I said "we're definitely not doing another one" and "next time it's for our own profit" etc but a few twists and turns have emerged in the tale. Firstly that we didn't realise that we had actually raised nearly £3,000 for Mission Motorsport at Goodwood and secondly I...

Thought id slap up a few pics of my newly aqquired eunos as I'm prouder than a new parent at the moment.... Picked her up the other day from manchester... Not much done to it pretty much factory with the exception of the mirrors.... Got a set of these as it came on some vomit inducing momos...
