The Hunter has had it's first trial on a customer car! My MX5 NB was due its reset and this was the first opportunity since WiM departed from Hemel.. Although it turned into a bit of a learning session for all. The car is modified: Gaz springs/dampers (the development set) and Flyin'Miata chassis rails and butterfly brace (Thanks Phil! Performance 5). Tony had set up my MX5 NB last autumn whilst at Kiplings and all seemed pretty good on the 'fast road' set-up. The only disappointment was a slow drift to the left when hands-off; it didn't track straight ahead. (Hertfordshire pot holes?) The Hunter soon sussed that. The rear left had completely the wrong toe angle. And the left front was a bit suspect as well. These, along with all the other variables, have now been tweeeked and everything reset. And the verdict? SOooo much better. The Hunter rig is just fantastic; and geo set-ups will be really quick and slick once Tony learns how to drive it!! Now I shall swap wheels front to rear to keep tread wear in check, adjust the tyre pressures and see what we get. So, a BIG thanks once again Tony and Mark, and long may all the MX5 and other owners clubs keep you in business. Their financial investment in hardware and personal investment in blood and guts has been enormous, so book now chaps!! Thank you guys! Cheers! Peter aka petermac on here.
