Let's put it this way, they ran out of normal weights and there was at least one cylinder head and set of brake discs in there Thank God I've been loosing weight; this time last year, they'd have had to balance an MX5 on top as well.

Put the feelers out to see who fancied a blat out a couple of days ago Despite short notice and the time of year we have hopefully five cars up for it Me and Paul in the westies, Linda in a Tiger, d*** in his Tuscan and Kev in his R1 MK plus a couple of interested but unconfirmed - so should be enough to make some nice sounds Plan is to head out Rutland way - I have sorta got a route in mind with some nice twisty sections Meet up point is at mine in Yaxley, Peterborough at 2.30 today (11/03/12) - message me or leave a post in here with your contact details and I will forward you my address if you fancy joining in the fun forecast is looking like SUN SUN SUN Will try and get some piccies to hopefully send out to the magazine editor for the next issue

Welcome Ken Fellow west coast member too. We had a good few events last year and this year is looking even better, highlight of the year be applecross. Like frag fairly new to the Westfields but having a ball Kev

Welcome Ken, Good to have another Scottish member join the contingent. Where in the West coast ar you based? Noticed Wee Dov has left a note. We have a some good outings planned for the summer starting after Easter when we are going up the Sma Glen. There is a post in the Events section with proposed dates and runs. Would be good if you could make some. I am a relatively newbie as well having been at a couple of events with the club but thoroughly enjoyed them. Fraser

Another great meeting with 3 new members and around 9 cars so a good start to this year already. Also, a big bonus .... I turned up :d

Did you remember to fit a saddle wuv?

Oh, I think the service has always been great, but I have felt very sorry for the lads in Parts with their workload and lack of resources, and then getting the blame unfairly for not being able to man the phones every second of the day. We're lucky to have them, and so are Westfield.

Buzz is spot on and it is the tip of the iceberg as far as I am concerned with the apathy that some members have. I took over the Bath and Bristol area but due to a combination of ill health and work I had to let the reins go. since them we have not had one person who has stepped forward to have a go. I know we all have issues but not one? So those in this area get less from the club than our neighbours Cheltenham and Glos who are very active in all areas. And as the area has grown so has the members who help. I have written articles in the past from the magazine and will do so again, but it is our club, our magazine so it is all our interests to try to make it better. Isn't it ironic that one AO has a VX220, the show organiser has a Ferrari and the Chairman a fiat 500, we are lucky they are still doing what they do.

It was Eunos Roadster MazdaSpeed (Mazda's AMG at the time, before factory desided to buy it) B-spec, that stands for better flowing head, 256° cams (that are same as in m2 1002), mazdaspeed header and cat back (that was made by maximworks, one of best that you can buy for mx-5) and I added Fuji Racing ITB's and megasquirt DIYPNP. it gave 128hp from engine after good tune. Great to drive and love'd the sound (still miss the sound and response) but it was quite mild set up from start. As it was, I dont really think it was worth it, unless your after glory howl and the throttle response. The MazdaSpeed B-spec is rated as 126hp as it is, so ITB's aren't really something that you should be looking for power upgrade unless you've done head, HC cams, 1mm bigger valve's and seriously good exhaust, friend of mine is running 1600cc DD/part time track car that is upgraded with better pistons, cams, headwork and exhaust and he's running 150hp on normal plennum, so ITBs are hardly worth of the money. Most of the easy power upgrade you'll enjoy will come from MegaSquirt. Problem with Mazda mx-5 engine is that their originally ment to be FI'd so thet dont response to NA tune like 4-age or honda engines. Plus I would ad that ITB's are harder to tune than normal plenum setup as the original throttle body hadly is the problem in NA tune. Btw, it you haven't bought a ECU, look for Reverant who writes in most of mx-5 forums, he offers self build megasquirt that includes following and has build it so that it really works out of box and big plus is that he really has great support for ECU's he has build.

right then to put a few things straight ,benny boy i couldnt give a flying chuff what you think and steve i couldnt care less what you think either ,you dont like me its obvious but hey thats your problem not mine .i can live with it im a big boy and i wont hold it against you ,id even buy you both a beer ,as i said i am not out to win freinds , at least i speak my mind and stand up for what i believe in and dont go back stabbing like some yes i was p******** off this morning and it wound me up as there was no comunication ,still thats all done now and water under the bridge and the right people know the facts so it didnt work out to bad ,so its time to move on until the right time unless you pair want to carry on

Well have members commenting on members, I think. I dont consider spongers have any say in what our Club administrators do or dont do in relation to members.
