Got a sweet new GoPro 5 for Christmas from my parents, did a quick Cold-Start video outside their house to try it out (very dull). I'm well impressed! Video & Audio is a huge improvement over my old Hero 3. Would definitely recommend!

Hopefully the wheels will look right too! Photoshop says yes but you can never tell until they're fitted...

Thanks chaps, wasn't expecting so much love! Well, another parcel turned up on Thursday evening. Should sort out my crappy brakes. Got some Brembo discs, DS2500's and some ATE Typ200 fluid - hopefully be enough for some track action. On Friday me and @sofaboy ventured down south for him to...

Had a nice big package from CarbonMiata arrive the other day, been keen to get it all fitted but only managed my rear spoiler today. The other item will have to wait for another day... More to come soon!

Yeah it's similar to the Fiesta engine, makes just under 160hp out the factory. A manifold and remap will see around 180hp, add cams to get to 200hp and then ITB's for 220ish. Of course there's turbo kits and superchargers for big power, and also a 2.3/2.5 swap from a Mazda 6 which would see a...

You'll be absolutely fine so long as you don't drive one! Haha

Well, it's a strange one.. I'm sure you knew my old MK1, ITB's, solid mount hardtop, bucket seats, sticky tyres etc - essentially a track car. Well, that didn't drive half as well as this one does. It's amazing how gutless MK1s feel; even mine at 150hp & 125lb/ft felt slow and it didn't seem to...

Less than 1000 miles have been covered in this car since around September... I'm annoyed by that TBH! I had a wobble a couple of months ago and wanted to sell, but fortunately I realised I was being silly, so I decided to stop being a soft c**t and keep it. I've now got some quite exciting bits...

Think it was on worn Michelin PE2's. Pretty good tbf, back end was quite mobile through the chicanes though! Good fun

Looks familiar! November '14 Great fun in the wet, if a little scary! Also, roundels are for winners

Thanks! Yeah it'll be going to Paul Roddison when I get round to it, full corner weighting and proper alignment for sure!

Yeah I do love how it looks, but if it handles like crap I'm not going to be sad about changing it - it's for driving, not looking at after all... Looking at the race cars, they're a similar height so I'll just have to wait and see.

Well, they're on. Too early to give any kind of impression, but it looks great! Okay, yes it's far too low but it's not been set up in the slightest - I've just pretty much guessed at the heights and took it for a spin. What I could tell from my brief drive is that they're very firm, but not...

Thanks chaps! Look what's turned up in the post! Decided to give Teins a go after owning a few sets of Meisters. The spring rates looked a little more suited to what I wanted to use the car for, and I've been quite impressed with Sebs set on his ND. I did consider Ohlins, but from what I've...

It's s**t [emoji23] From my brief drive, you can tell it's a lighter/smaller car - feels very pointy where the NC is quite a stable thing. The engine is quite different too; loads of mid-range punch, but not entirely worth revving out, it's almost turbo-charged in its power delivery - whereas...

Feel like @sofaboy's MX5 belongs in here now it's got proper wheels.

Haha, saw yours for sale on nutz Steve, it really is well sorted car... Hopefully Rodders can work some magic on mine in the near future. Looks awesome Luke, makes me wish I went for a soft top as I still think they're better looking than the power hard top. Just make sure you keep it topped up...

Nascarlo was the coolest thing I've ever seen. That and Stubby Bob. Really want the t-shirt!

Thanks mate! You should check out the photography thread on here, plenty of properly talented people about. Also, if you're on Instagram/Facebook, check out Riad Ariane - he was a regular on here and made a career out of it. Takes pictures of supercars for living!

Thanks, that'd be me! Certainly nothing special, but I enjoy getting the camera out every now and again. All my gear is due updating now anyway, had it for years!

You were right the first time mate [emoji23] MK3.5 is NC2!

Thanks chaps! Done 4k miles in it now (oops) and still enjoying it. Needs a few bits though, brakes need upgrading and I'm not happy with the suspension or the tyres either. I'd quite like to do a track day in it too, but I've just not had any time recently! Luke, they're from HIDS direct: H7...

Went for a blast out with Seb in his ND the other night. Cat & Fiddle was horrendously busy with motorcyclists, and they're flipping mental! Didn't get too much footage as I was having quite a lot of fun being passenger in his car. Also managed to get a few 'panning' shots. It's bloody hard...

Panning is so hard! Huge respect for proper 'togs. Also, you missed the part where it still drove like s**t until I suggested we check the tyre pressures.. 36psi on one corner, yeah cool!

Awesome footage, cracking build, and having been overtaken by it many times on track, I know it's bloody quick!

Not bad considering it's got both cats in is it! Aftermarket manifold removes the first cat so it becomes a bit more fruity. Needs a remap at the same time though which is a bit annoying.

Well, I said suspension would be the next upgrade... yeah that didn't happen. A trip to Roddisons on Friday to collect some bits for Sebs MK4 ended up with me buying a Cobra back box. I talk myself into these things far too easily! Anyway, no time wasted, I set about fitting it that night...

Thanks mate! I think a lot of people picture early MK3's when they think of MX5's and they're literally all driven by women or old men. Awful things! Later ones are much better looking IMO
