Caught out in the rain without a hard top

Stayed overnight at friends place to help celebrate his housewarming and to help with the wiring on his car. Success all around except I didn’t have my hard top on and it rained overnight. Soft top works but it feels like an umbrella compared to a solid roof!

Inside the J702T

I just prised off the bottom plate on the ignitor. Seems to be filled with a sticky silicon, I imagine I’ll need to desolder the board from the pins.

Mitsubishi Power TR Unit J702T

Just received my MX5 ignitor from ebay that I’ll be gutting to make a plug and play Coil On Plug setup for my MX5. Hopefully will provide a stronger spark and the Toyota COP units are much cheaper to replace than the expensive Mazda coilpack.

HSCCQ Motorkhana

I participated in the Holden Sporting Car Club of Queensland Come and Try motorkhana today. It was quite challenging but for the tests I undertook I found it quite fun. My biggest issue was with making mistakes with my directions which results in a Wrong Direction score. I’m looking forward to the next event!

MX5 Club track day

I had fun on the recent MX5 track day at Lakeside. Unfortunately my car wasn’t running very well and didn’t make much power over 5000rpm but I was still very consistent with my times and placed well in the regularity! There was a silver Nissan S15 on the track and if you watch closely it was  shooting flames out the exhaust!

Supercharged pre-war MG sports car at the Mount Cotton Hillclimb. The driver seemed to have no issue doing powerslides on the circuit!
