Hello from Kent, Sam at Pitlane Performance!

Hello everyone,

Been meaning to join the owners club for some time!
I’m Sam, based in Sevenoaks, Kent and I run a dealership called Pitlane Performance, specialising in MX5’s.

I’m a serious car enthusiast and have over time fallen in love with the MX5 platform, theres not many variants I haven’t had! Recently sold my personal Mazda which was Mazda UK’s heritage RX7 FD (which i miss a lot).

Now I benefit from using cars I have in stock, many MX5’s to choose from! I also like my hot hatchbacks, owning 2 renaultsport clios, a 182 Trophy and a 172 Cup for track use.

At some point I would like to purchase as MK3 NC with a BBR Turbo conversion…

Just thought I’d introduce myself, I’m sure a few customers are on here as I always point them in this direction!

Thanks, Sam

Hi Sam, welcome. I spoke to you a few months back about a grey prht but it went before I could get to view. Found one in the end though.

Do you offer any services or is it mainly sales? Looking for a trustworthy local firm for full geo setup since I’ve lowered and changed the wheels, most specialists are a bit of a trek.

Love the FD, truly one of the most stunning japanese cars ever made. :heart_eyes:

Hello Dean!

So strange, I’ve been looking at your posts about your MX5, I like what you’re doing with it.
Also been thinking about buying the wheels you have listed, i’ll drop you a pm about them.

Only sales with me unfortunately. But the good news is I would reccomend ‘Kent MX5 Services’ in Tenterden, they know what they’re doing with Geo set ups as they race them and set up race MX5’s!

I seriously miss my RX7, it was beautiful indeed!

Thanks, I’m pretty pleased with it so far.

I’ll give Kent mx5 a go then when the weather improves. Tenterden isn’t that far.

If you need any info on the wheels yes just give me a shout, happy to provide all the details :+1:

I would recommend freelance garage in Chatham he specialises in mx5and you should come to the Kent meet at the hop farm except this month .

That’s even closer to me. Very convenient. I will try and get to some meets at some point, where abouts do they get announced? Thanks.

I called and asked them, they don’t do wheel alignment so looks like Kent mx5.

At mx5 Kent look in the magazine Les and debs e-mail address is there.
