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!

Seems to be filled with a sticky silicon, I imagine I’ll need to desolder the board from the pins.

Hopefully will provide a stronger spark and the Toyota COP units are much cheaper to replace than the expensive Mazda coilpack.

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!

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!
