Horney: My love for the Mazda MX5

[Horney]

Bit of an update. Booked on a trackday at Castle Combe a week tomorrow which was supposed to be in the Golf but that's not gonna happen, the 5 is therefore stepping up. Got myself a new set of alt belts as mine are a bit persihed as well as some yellow stuff pads as the current ones are down to the last 3mm and are only green (poop) stuff. Will be giving it a service, fitting the brakes and a brake fluid change this weekend.

Just need to adjust the belts today as I think I over tensioned them and they whine a bit and going to bleed the brakes to firm up the peddle.

Discovered both my rear tyres are mullered (Video might show why ) so going to have to swap a pair off the golf before the trackday on friday.

Actually loads of tread left, ran the daily tyres as well. Sadly killed another damper (Same one as last time) but it managed the whole day. Properly epic day. Video to follow!

Any ideas why that damper keeps going? Is it just the seals each time?
