so why did ya get rid of the RX8?

and did ya get the MX5 SP turbo or just the stock one?

There is no new turbo MX-5... The MX-5 SE is the old model

Last time i went I had to rent a helmet, but they do have plenty available.

Did you have to pay for it?

EDIT: Never mind, I read Big_Bum's post

The turbo model only came out towards the mid/end of the old MX-5 model's life. Mazda seems to do this with all their turbo models, as seen with the 6 MPS as well, to revitalise the old model before sending it out.

I'm lookin forward to seeing the new MX-5, it has recieved a lot of positive reviews.

I sat in Stewies MX5 limited edition the other nite, it has a 2 liter 120 kw or so, 6 speed, non turbo. very schmick inside, loved the roadster capabilities, nice car when for when you hit the midlife crisis :) seats are great, would be awesome on the track as Stewie has plans for it. It simply is PIMP. Cant wait for a drive ay Stu?

Yep... It's my 2nd mid life crisis. Not bad for 33 :lol: And yes this car is destined for many, many laps of Sandown, Winton & Wakefield. Next day at Sandown is already booked for later this month :D

Sorry about your finger Lucio, but then I guess you should not have put it in that tight dark place :o Now that should get them talking... But in all honesty I do hope the finger is alright!

Hey chompies, I enjoy driving my wifes SP23 and enjoyed the RX8 but the fun factor of this new MX5 is just out of this world. A superb car for on the track!

Good to see you love the Mazda family! The design of the new MX-5 is fantastic.. I especially like the way they pushed back the engine behind the front axel to improve cornering/weight distribution. Looking forward to seeing it (and you.. haha)

The RX8 is a brilliant car but real expensive to run if you do a lot of driving. Doing over 100km a day driving just getting to and from work at a fuel economy of 16-18L per 100km and my fuel bills were getting close to $200 a week. Plus running it on the track was expensive especially tyres, brakes and brake rotors.

Since track days have now become a real hobby (more exciting than model planes) I want to be able to afford to track my car more often and the new mx5 fits that bill perfectly so I decided what the hell I'll do it!

Yep count me in too. Traded the RX8 on the new MX5. Now I can afford to do a lot more trackdays! :D

so why did ya get rid of the RX8?

and did ya get the MX5 SP turbo or just the stock one?
