Fun, Sun, Green eyed blondes

Hi,
I'm wondering how the bookings for the Driver Training day at Manfield are
going.
Is there room for a little one?

Cheers
Colin

Different but related subect

I am based in Wellington ( I live in Raumati) Home is 04 9050731 and Work/mobile 021 782748. The batteries provided in Mx5's are quite different from the wet cell type that most people have experience with. There charge /discharge characteristics are such that a battery may appear dead. Then respond...

Different but related subect

Hi, vehicle security is my business. I not going to push myself in this forum so will just make a couple of observations. A good immobiliser is a must. Standards approved I believe as a minimum. A microwave sensor which is typically used for convertibles is an interesting beast. It does need adjusti...

glass window

Hi, I have a German cloth top which looks fantastic when it is up. It was a direct replacement when my std one was knifed. It has a zipped glass rear window. I absolutely would never go this way again. It has almost driven me to intentional vandalism to justify replacing it. Let me explain... The gl...

RE How does one make a living doing 'twiddles'?

I was once barked at, 'What's that your twiddling with!' by a large and florid man who stomped around the classroom presenting scowls and ruler smacks while pretending to teach us Latin. He went on to suggest in a clear and loud manner that 'twiddling ' would very probably be the only career I would...

Car magazine tyre test results??

And my two cents... Tyres have changed considerably in the last few years. I can remember going to compete at Manfeild with road tyres of the 185.60.13.variety and using 45 psi cold. This was mainly to try and induce some side wall stiffness into the tyre to keep as much of the surface as possible t...

double chrome heated towel rails

Exceedingly cleverly! So cleverly in fact, that if I knew, I would have to kill myself. The technology required to see into the future is so secret that I didn't know I had it. Its weird when you find out your keeping secrets from yourself. Or of course it could be the aliens...or maybe even more si...

Go for it. He is a one time MX5 owner himself. And a thoroughly good chap. I have in my possession at the moment, a two-seater wings and slicks racecar. It looks very like the McLaren two seater. ( a tad cheaper and slower). It is being used for promotional work foe the next few weeks. Here in welli...

Roofless racing

Hi, Its a bit of a shame that someone had to come all the way from Auckland to a real racetrack at Manfield, only to be turned away. It sounds like a bit of muddled communication. I have a friend who works for Motorsport NZ and during a chat earlier today I asked him to clarify the regulations. Belo...

Extractors

Yes. Its very true the Loch Stewart gear is excellent. I have the intake and the full exhaust system. Driveability is greatly improved with a (if I remember correctly Gary) 20% odd increase in torque and an improvement in power to a dynoed (dynapak) 152 bhp. I have 14 degree timing and racing beat l...
