You mentioned stone chips. Do you have protective film on your bonnet, fenders and such? Another question is do you keep the ESP on or of on a circuit? Nice upload. Cheers.
I don't have any protection, I am of the mindset of the cost of protection and the cost of a front end respray I would just pay for paint in 4-5 years. The protection is noticeable and can go yellow. The ESP is always off on the MX5, turn it off as soon as I turn the engine on. Although it is a good system that lets you go a bit sideways.
MX-5 parts sell the Mazda LSD oil and crush washers. The gearbox takes (API Service GL-4 (SAE 75W-90) you can't get the Mazda gearbox oil in the UK. Spec and capacities in back of the manual.
i live 10 minutes from here, just a shame they dont really have any good viewing areas or id be there filming all the time, as for the circuit it really does not feel like a race track and could do with some serious upgrades to make full use of the site as a track! p.s. your suspension looked so soft it was like sitting in a boat !
Well done for 1K!
You're a really skilled driver 🙌

@@RichardFanders Thanks!
Of to blyton park in march first track day just bought a 172 clio track car, thought this was best local track for a beginner
Have fun!
Great video! Are you using standard shocks and springs on your MX5?
Yes, all standard.
Good demo of the MX-5 capabilities. Remember to change the gearbox and diff oil as gets really hot tracking and degrades.
I have heard, I am looking into this.

definately want to have a go around here, was wondering have you done any track ready mods to the 5 such as brakes?
It's standard apart from brake pads.
