Turbo mk2.5 Mx5,
I've owned her around 5 years and got her completely stock, the list of mods done is large so I'll try and keep it as simple as possible and just a list,
She makes 246BHP and 239 FP which in a car that's around 900kg and rear wheel drive she is lots of fun to drive, after owning 18 cars I finally settled on an mx5 after falling in love with them on my first drive, sadly the first one was wrote off but lead to this beast so it's ok I suppose, I’ve got a new born baby boy so i think the build is on hold for a while now, or the wife will kill me ha,
I use her on track at oulton park, 2 or 3 times a year and try to drag at Santa pod once a year for fun.

There may be things I've forgot but that's the main things, I've spent about 6kish over the years , so if you're planning on doing a similar car, or even any race car, treble your budget there are always things you didn't think of when the idea popped in your head ha.
I always try to attend local shows and meets when it's not raining, passengers always welcome just ask.i promise i won't scare you to much.If anyone as any questions or needs advice, i'm always willing to help others if i can, check me out when i'm at track days, you can't miss my car.
