Another toy to add to the collection. You make it sound so quick and simple to go from a road car to a track car:thumbs:

It is with an MX5 :)

I'm a bit surprised you're using those seats with harnesses but I'm sure you won't be pressing that hard. I would strongly suggest replacing the steel panel that covers the overflow and fuel intake pipe in the boot. The slightest spark from that battery or anything else could be absolutely disastrous. I probably have one spare if you need it.

Good luck with your christening later. Should be fun (read wet :) )
