I've blown a couple of pipes off on track days. The first time it scared the hell out of me, thought the engine was toast!Blew a hose off under boost. Holy shit but that gets your attention when your only throttle is pre-blower.
Nailed it uphill, wound it right out then went for another gear and the engine just pegged itself to the limiter. I thought the throttle had jammed open. Effectively it had, though at least the supercharger was only adding alarming screaming noises and not boost.
walked past them (again)What Have You Done To Your Mx5 Today?
You done yet?News from home: Car got picked up earlier and is on its way to The MX-5 Restorer. Yay!
It's been SORN for a while due to rusty sills and my indecisiveness, plus of course their workshop is booked quite far ahead; further than I appreciated.
Well done, happy motoringPerhaps not quite today.... about a year ago fitteed a complete new exhaust system including new Cat... Had it MOT'd last week... no major dramas two new tyres a couple of dodgy earths on bulbs sorted... and new bulbs... and rear shockers and springs replaced with coilovers... front coilovers ready to go on but bolts on upper suspension need to be renewed as old ones are decidedly manky... then front coilovers can be fitted.
