Big Thanks To The 'mez
I hereby publicly thank Gomez
who fixed my problem of rattling short shifter by changing the black bottom shoe to the one that Hymee sent me 2 weeks ago. It was to rattle like crazy at 8000-9000 rpm.
It is all quiet at 9000rpm and I rely on the shift light not the rattling noise for the upshift
Thanks mate

No not yesterday. I promised Russell I would go up and help him with his car. He has a race meet coming up in a few weeks so wanted some testing time for sorting out his suspension.
Besides I spent all of Saturday on the skidpan

The original MX5 could easily be done up similiar for probably less money and would be just as much if not more fun. **** I have seen good Quad throats setups available for NA MX5's for $250.00

And you end up with a car you don't mind thrashing because replacements won't cost you an arm and a leg. Eg. new starter motor = $100 for the NA.
Put it this way - it's a good option if you don't have the budget to write off your 8.
