Yeah Cole clutch worked great! Tried to easy on it but will put up the vids tonight.

Thanks Harlan, Haha was good fun trying to get it right in front of the camera!

6 Speed just means its not bogging down and you always have a gear to use. I could even do tight circles in second. Also when accelerating up hills or in traffic dont need as much throttle.

Wrecked a pair of bald Proxes but they lasted the whole day so im happy.

Ranui, that's out west? If so, there must be another one floating around, mine only has the darth vadar sticker on the back, and on Thursday only came out of it's home for about 20mins to duck up the road to Silverdale to fill up with go juice.

But there was only two V8 MX5's at the Cannonball, my one and Terry's white one. Hmmm.

Headers and test pipe are in as of last night. Two of the face holes needed some filing out to fit on the stud but no real dramas.

It has a less raspy tone and no droning at 3k like it used to. Car feels smoother, probably a loss of low end torque but it pulls more at higher RPM. I think its 2.5" all the way through from the collector. I'm happy.

Went to a meet tonight, there were about 6 mx5's there, couple from the forum (furai, chris, loveitlow)
As usual with a meet that size (60-70 cars) the cops turned up to shut it down.
