I think it looks like I have a splitter, starting just after the foglight, underneath the car? Is that it?



Maybe it's an excuse to get a Garage Vary one or something biggrin
Fair enough, didn't know about the recommended pressures! I will change that when I check them again! I suppose I hoped putting them up a bit would improve the fuel consumption frown

The photo's a bit dark, but yes, I think that is it.

Ah ha, thanks for that smile Might need to get another one then, the standard one doesn't seem to be up to the job!

Had a nice little blast against the fella in his TF today, was good fun smile

I participated in a Trackday at Colerne airfield this weekend!
Good fun, no dramas - only a panicking ABS sensor which has now been sorted - and the car behaved very well!
I have decided I need more supportive seats and stiffer springs, and maybe some anti roll bars. The car was fantastic, but I could really feel it wallowing in the corners, with me fighting to stay in the seat as it did so!


That is my fiance holding on for dear life in the passenger seat!



The fella's TF also held up well -

Might I suggest a CG-Lock as a cheap alternate to ensuring you don't fall out of your seat?

PS I do like your MX-5, it's exactly how I'd like to have one if I bought one.

Forgive my stupidity, but whats a CG Lock? Does it lock the seatbelt?
Thanks smile It's not bad - I had to buy the new roof for it, but the alloys were already on it which was nice! T&T soon! EEk!

Bit of a boring update: It passed the MOT today, with no advisories, and the numberplate light which had given up was replaced there and then (it helps having one of dad's mates as the tester biggrin).
Surprised me considering the abuse it suffered last week! driving
