Hi! What do you feel on the car when it was broke? Thanks

Early 944 noisey gearshifts, cause was found to be failed mounts. "Clunks" Can be heard as the box moves around. But its just as easy to go under and have a look, if theyre orignal, then its pretty certain that by now theyve failed. Getting on for 40 years old.

100% stock. The dampers and brakes were new when I bought it, that was it. Otherwise everything was as Smart made it. Cheers, it was great fun, just like a big gokart

Lateral forces of 1.0 G is not bad at all....for a more or less standard roadcar.

Its very light and has very wide tyres. This helped a lot with being able to tip it in to the corners!

I notice that, despite the common criticism of the Roadster's gearbox, that MX5 isn't getting away under acceleration.
@jamesbroad79163 жыл бұрын
The bos is slow, in auto its useless on a track, it cant think fast enough and never downshifts enough. In semi auto you can learn to get it up the box as well as a manual. but going down, it will refuse to give you the gear unless its ready.

Good job keeping up with that MX-5. Not bad for a 0.7L turbo. Has it been remapped?

I was there in the Abarth 124 Spider, I loved seeing this car out there! I think it's a great looking car!
@jamesbroad79163 жыл бұрын
The 124 sounded mega. Iv got a decent shit of you goin passed. The roadster was great fun, but the boost controller failed about 1030. So the rest of the day I had to stay away from 100% throttle and after 4 laps it would drop into limp mode. Bit of a spoiler. Still got some laps in though. How did you get on?
