MX5 Number 2.

[Christopher]

LOL. We spent ages getting that b*stard off.

Get it welded up. Bureet.

 

[Rob]

Put a new one on you pikey!

 

[JoeyD]

30 days later... It's back.

Best birthday present I could have asked for!

 

[welshname]

Why is it on CAU's reg?

 

[Knuckles]

RAAACK! cant wait to see it in person

 

[JoeyD]

Will be on CAU plates until I get RACK MOT'd and insured. Will be sorted soon!

Everyone needs to drive this thing. In the wet. It's f**king hilarious! Drove home tonight, took a slight corner in second gear at half throttle, back end just wants to break away. So exciting, even at like 40mph!

 

[Eddie.]

I enjoyed watching you follow me to KK's.

In fact I enjoyed it so much I decided to turn around on the roundabout and look at you.

Yeah. Cool.

 

[JoeyD]

Most hero Clio on CS goes to Ed. Get a right bollocking for doing that? Lol

 

[Jon.G]

RACKATTACK.

 

[chriscummins7]

Hooray!!

I'd love to hear the RACKet the thing makes

Must come across the border to a NW meet soon!

 

[JoeyD]

Its got a different exhaust on now... Pretty much just as loud, but it sounds a bit nicer. Sort of.

Will get proper pictures/a thread up today hopefully.

 

[Eddie.]

Most hero Clio on CS goes to Ed. Get a right bollocking for doing that? Lol

Nah, it just frightened her.

Fair enough I guess, I think what made me piss the most is I could imagine your laughter as you came round the roundabout and saw me! FLOL!

 

[welshname]

Did you spin at the first roundabout ed?

I was driving past and saw everyone stopped on the roundabout and then Joey going towards KK's

 

[Eddie.]

Yep.

Got a monstrous amount of lift off oversteer and spun it.

<<<insert Senna related comment here>>>

 

[chriscummins7]

Hero Edd!

 

[Knuckles]

ffs i wish i came last night

 

[jesus]

Need to have a go in this! I had a go in Rack in it's last guise and Seb banned me from driving it again

 

[JoeyD]

Well, it lasted 35 miles, but its back off the road again. Rear hub nut escaped on the M56 this morning, which is weird as we've not touched any hub nuts on the car other than the manky round one which is still tight as f**k.
Ugh.

 

[aucky]

Not ideal!!

I don't suppose you have a spare working rail rail lying around do you?

 

[JoeyD]

What's a rail rail? Lol!

 

[Jamie86]

I'm going for fuel rail rail....

 

[JoeyD]

If that's the case, might be able to help. Got a 1.8 sat in Sebs garage doing nothing. Probably better asking him tbh!

 

[aucky]

The brittle plastic u-shape rail on the boot end of a soft top that it sits between on the mounting lugs.

 

[JoeyD]

Ermm... Well I've not got a soft top on RACK, and the softtop on the old shell was a bit leaky.. I'm not quite sure which bit you mean tbh, but you're welcome to come and pick bits off it! Lol

 

[aucky]

Lol. Tbh it's likely to be as s**t as mine, it's basically made of chocolate of the mk1s.

 

[sofaboy]

Pretty Sure we have enough spares to build a full mx5, which I suppose is what we did. Still loadsssss left

 

[JoeyD]

Want a free Dashboard?
Free doors?
Ermm.. free cracked rear bumper?
Free bootlid with holes in?
Free wet interior carpet?
Free rust?

 

[Eddie.]

I've got some free rust and wet carpet too if anyone wants it.

 

[JoeyD]

Yeah but you've got an OEM drivers side wet weather indicator, so that's understandable.
UDM s**t y0

 

[Eddie.]

Ahhh, I nice way of looking at it, I like it.

Honey, what's the weather like out on the roads today

It's mildly damp today, with a chance of spray to the accelerator pedal.

 

[JoeyD]

FLOL. As if you couldn't tell from looking out the window.
Mines got an aftermarket one fitted just under where my right foot goes (Seb added it AFAIK). Because I wanted my foot to be drenched when I arrive at my destination.

 

[Eddie.]

Ahhh yes, I wanted one of those, the Gwizwet iirc?

 

[JoeyD]

FLOL!!!

 

[Turkish]

When's this heap getting some lows, nosebleed spec looks pap.

[Knuckles]

saw an mx-5 today with the plate MX51 YEH, made me chuckle

 

[JoeyD]

Whenever I can get it back on the road for more than a day without breaking ffs.
Need to un-seize the coilovers and possibly order smaller springs, but it'll get there..

New hub nut arrived last night. Too big.
/Death

 

[jesus]

:dapprove:

 

[Goodj]

Still pressing ahead with it then Joey?

I drove through flood waters the other day... surprisingly I still have sills and wings... but probably need to weld the chassis together.

If I find any rust in there, I'll mail you some over

 

[JoeyD]

lol, I get wet feet if I drive through puddles now

 

[Eddie.]

All the cool kids do, don't worry
