@Liam Shaw was good to meet you, and sorry you's had to limp home at the very end. It's not a nice feeling cruising round with your one and only spare already used.

Well it wasn't too bad, only 5 mile down the road. Better still I left it to the navigator to get it home and I took the van haha. Need to get a trailer for next year or find someone who's happy enough to lend one. A lot more difficult to push as hard as you like when you know it has to get you home.

Saturday was a bad bad bad day. Being stuck in a field was the best part of it compared to everything else that happened.

If anyone is planning on doing the UAC It's Not the Boxing Day Rally and hasn't submitted an entry then you better get one sent in soon as entries have surpassed the 100 mark and the limit will be 130. Same format as last year with two groups starting off from the Tannery and following different routes to complete all the tests. Some favourites from previous years and new tests added in to the mix for this year and also some new challenges. "With some of our tests close to where the Kings of Ulster were once crowned we're running our own "Game of Thrones" where consistency is the name of the game. Get your times on the 2nd run through as close to the 1st run without being quicker to be in with a chance in pocketing the "Game of Thrones" trophy."

It promises to be another fun filled and challenging event

Cannot wait for this, always great fun. Just have to get the car looked over, hopefully won't be a Christmas day rebuilding session like last year though!

Have any of you guys (mx5's especially) tinkered with the alignment? It's something I'd like to try for next year as its not that expensive and know little about. I came across an mx5 trackday and drift thread on another forum and they where going on how much of a difference it made and that's what got me thinking it could help us too, maybe not.

I've spent a fair bit of time trying different settings and it's one of the best things I've done. Totally changed the wee car. Your held will be melted reading theory and trying to weigh up pro's and con's etc... Track cars and drift cars will more than likely run settings that wouldnt really suit targas, and even within targas, one MX5 could be running different camber settings from another due different ride heights, spring rates, roll bars, weight, etc etc.. Minefield!

I've our MX currently set with 0 toe front and rear, -1.5 degrees camber at the front, and -1.75 degrees at the rear.

If you're doing it yourself then I say spend some time trying different settings to feel the effects, and decide what you like.

What exactly has it helped? Better turn in or precision or what? I wanted to check mines anyway because no doupt some of them rough lanes has knocked her out of line slightly...or maybe a good bit.

Dont really know how to describe it best. The extra camber on the front definately improved turn in, tho you might notice your front wheels locking up slightly sooner under heavy breaking. In general the wee car cornered harder and just became a lot more predictable.

And another question i have. Have any of you's tried doing an event with ABS switched on? Does it ever help or is it not a good idea?
