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?

      New member seeking advice for parts

      Hi guys! I'm Alberto, I just finished importing a HZJ73 from Japan and I love it! The car came without spare wheel holder and it seems discounted so I don't know what do to. Someone knows where I can find it or what else works as replacement? I don't mind if is not oem part as far as it works 😅 I'm based in Brisbane if it makes some kind of difference Pictures attached as reference

      Can I put a 2010 bumper on my 2008 Camry ?

      I have a 2008 Camry altise and recently damaged the front bumper and i'm wondering if I can fit a 2010 sportivo bumper on to replace it. It looks like it fits I know I will need to get new headlights for it to fit but do I need to do any modifications or will all the plastic clips and screws line up ?

      Anyone else tried these seat covers ?

      these seat covers look pretty good, but I've had bad experience when trying to fit some cheaper ones I bought online - they say custom fit, anyone else tried them ? Would love to know before I buy them, thanks all https://mycustomcar.com.au/

      am2 fuse blowing

      Hello, i have a 1996 starlet The problem is when i turn the key the fuse blows, and i have been looking over the wiring and can’t find any shorts or damaged wire. The car would not crank over because of the fise blowing. I found out that if i disconnect the transponder key ecu the fuse is holding, but as soon as i connect the transponder the fuse blows. So i wonder if there is something I can try out? should i just buy a new transponder box or is it something else i could try? and is it not kinda wierd that the box is the problem? I have looked inside the box and cant see any corrosion in the box

      Toyota Celica '96 5S-FE no spark

      Hi everyone, I have spent too much time on my Celica and even my mechanic is stumped at figuring out the issue so any tips will be appreciated. Here is what has been done, immobiliser disbabled, distributor replaced, igniter replaced, EFI relay replaced, and EFI 15AMP fuse is not blown. I tried jumping E1 and TE1 in the diagnostic port to try and get a code from the CEL but it doesn't light up, I think it might be burned out so I will have to get on that. I am now clueless about what to do next, it could be the ECU but I can't find any pointers too that.
