Don't worry, it doesn't.

Choice photos Ash, I love wide landscape shots, and that just catches the drift perspective and smoke so well!

Stock brakes with proper pads are phenomenal, as SLYDIT said it's the pads that really make them work. The 1.8's aren't a *huge* improvement over the 1.6's, but they really work well with the XP10's (they just don't look as cool as Wilwoods or slotted rotors!)

It's a thorough check of a car, much more detailed than a WoF, they check the car for how loud it is (incase you have an aftermarket exhaust) rust etc. It is pretty common for older cars (90's and older) to fail first time! Check rust around the battery and stuff, a lot of things that would normally...

Read up on Miataturbo, everything you need to know has been answered there before and it's a great source of information.

I thrashed my Roadster around Hampton Downs, was fucking awesome :D

It was my first ever trackday, I made a few nub moves like shifting from 2nd to 5th but I had a blast duking it out with a BRZ

It's not like the powerband ever changes though to make it less foreseeable, you know it's coming so you prepare for it, you wouldn't put your foot in it so the boost came on while you were still deep into cornering, that'd be silly, it's not hard, it's just a different type of power. No different t...

The offset is mega high so they'd be quite sunken into the body, and tires for 16s can get expensive quickly!

A sped up indicator normally indicates (hurrrdurrr) that a bulb is out, if none of the lights are flashing but you're sure the bulbs are good then it's probably a fuse or some such.

Did it start straight after your alarm install?
