...with TDR a/a intercooler


Power/Torque graph (the bumps/dips after 6000rpm were caused by detonation. Hopefully I've addressed that - we'll find out on the next dyno day!)


Most of the pictures I have are with my old 17" OZ Racing Superturissmo wheels. I don't have any good pictures of my new Rota Wheels yet but here a a couple I took using my mobile phone



In Scotland in 2005 with some friends:





My car was used by EVO magazine in the 2005 EVO Road & Track Car of the Year shoot out. I'll add some of the write-up when I get the chance but here are some photos I took:




Jethro Bovingdon at the wheel, ready to go out on track.


Here are some pictures taken of me driving my car on the 2005 MX-5 OC Rally Track-Day at Goodwood:




Lining up in the queue at Santa Pod in March 2006 we were approached by a model & photographer who wanted to take a pictue with my car. Who was I to say no???
My best stats were: 1/4 mile in 14.835 seconds with 95.570mph terminal speed

I am looking for a new toy for the summer , and if I could get a super or turbocharged mx-5 for sensible money I wouldnt hesitate . I love the go-kart handling and all they ever needed was more power

Great car .

They are 17"x7" 4x100 ET45. No idea if that fits a Fiat!

I do actually have a buyer for them at the moment but he's in Scotland at the moment. We should be arranging something when he gets back. Thanks for the reminder though - I'll get back in touch with him to find out when he's back and if he's still buying them.

(just don't let the missus see that link )

The prices are a bit cheaper now than when I got mine and the kits are a bit better too.
