Hello from Northamptonshire

[Mainlander]

Hi all,

My name is Ben and after owning quite a few mx5’s of many variants I have finally taken the plunge and sorted my membership out now, unfortunatly I was always too busy with landrovers and competing with then to do more with the mazdas apart from track days but now i have had to give that up due to health issues so here I am. I’m from just outside Kettering in Northamptonshire.

 

I am currently driving a black mk2.5 svt which is quite extensively modified towards track use.  The mk2.5 will being having a turbo conversion carried out over the next couple of weeks just to make it a bit better on those straights on track, and then the brakes looked at and uprated ready to get back out on track. 

 

I also have a mariner blue mk1 turbo which I’m putting back on the road in the next month or so which again is very modified towards track use but is still a bit more road friendly than the mk2.5.

 

I look forward to getting along to some events to meet people and also to some track days with everyone

Bit if an update after a couple of years finally.

The mariner blue mk1 (Jekyll) is a different one but still turbo’d and used as my daily / wet weather track car.

The Black mk2.5 (Hyde) has also been reincarnated as seen below but is 90% track focused. Currently producing 323bhp at the rear wheels with the aim for a good bit more power and torque coming in the next month as its currently in the garage in pieces getting a skunk 2 intake and throttle body with uprated fuel rail, regular and return line before another mapping session.
