As I write this, I've already spent a winter preparing the car with new suspension from Performance5
The kit included new adjustable height shocks and stiffer springs.
Fitting the kit proved to be a traumatic experience, resulting in snapped bolts, much head scratching, excessive use of a blowtorch and expensive repairs.
Anyway, after a mad rush I had the car corner weighted and aligned at Dreadnought in Callander and I was ready for the first event at Kames. I was lucky enough to secure some support from the MX5Scotland.co.uk and they turned out in numbers to support me at my first event.
That has since been followed by a hillclimb at Forrestburn where I managed to nearly end up in a lake and subsequent sprints at East Fortune and Teesside.
I still haven't won any awards but at least I'm not always coming last now (unlike last year!).
I've made some adjustments to the suspension set-up as the anti-roll bars seemed too stiff with the new springs so I'll be running the standard ARBs again.
This weekend sees a double header at Kames so I'll post a full report and pictures after that.
