Engine Wear Metals After 16 Track Days
Переглядів 22 тис.Місяць тому
My MX5 has now done a total of 2,105 miles on track with 595 of those miles since the last oil change. Is this type of use causing excessive wear to my engine? I sent the oil off to a laboratory to find out what wear metals are present in the engine oil and how the oil has been holding up to this kind of use. 00:00 The car 00:41 The kit 01:56 The oil 03:33 The analysis 10:33 The conclusion

Track Day Guide for Beginners Part 1 - Preparation
I'm about to choose a new company car, Ive narrowed it down to teh RAV4 Hybrid or BMW x3 hybrid. Any thoughts i'm not a car guy need a decent boot.
I live in Colorado in the US, the city I live is slightly more than 1 mile elevation, I drive it through the canyons - haven't noticed any additional power loss yet, steep climbs obviously the car has to work harder...but that's normal. Seeing this does make me wonder what I might be missing with the car at low altitudes! Time to plan a long road trip! Great video! Regarding fuel efficiency, I just got 49.3 mpg US on a 48 mile trip, driving 40-65 MPH (45 mph average), very pleased with that.
I think your car reviews are my favourite ones
Thank you so much for this video, I really appreciate your opinion. I've bought a one year old 1.8 excel and cannot wait to collect it on friday.
Some modern adaptive headlights will automatically adjust for driving on the right.
I have a spare wheel at the back i believe is stock default.. I recently changed Tires which is prolly slightly bigger than previous, will my spare wheel be alright to use?
Great video
when it comes to the rain sensor there is a way to set the sensetivity on those, dont know if u know that
I'm fortunate to have secured, underground (indoor) parking, so my car is always in new condition. I couldn't bear having your parking situation, have you looked into some sort of other arrangement/location, even if you had to pay a small amount for it?
I recently passed my test and will be in Italy in July though not experienced on italian roads so not sure how I would do with this haha interesting to know. Can someone do a conversion for speed from kph to mph 😅
Love your attention to detail. It did 70 mph at 2250 in 6 gear? If it did, that’s quite high. I’d have expected 2k
I have the Diesel one, love it
I assume the dual temp display is for both sides to see it and also perhaps to pad out the 10" display without looking like a waste of space over the 7".The dual knobs is stupid though.
Great driving. Thruxton is a properly old school circuit, rewarding when it goes right
A very good review. I have a 2017 FR 150 ACT. Purchased nearly new, only 4000 miles on the clock and under a year old. I have never had an issue with the car in over 6 years of ownership. Not even a bulb. It's been serviced every year without fail, and has been superb. One of the best hatchbacks of its time. Mine has only 33,000 miles from new. £35 pounds road tax per year, and can achieve over 60 mpg. Cheap to insure,and has a top speed of 134 mph. An excellent car by all means. I will be holding on to it for a while yet.
Blown away by this brilliant review! One of the best I have ever come across!
I looked for something like this a few years ago before a track day at Thruxton but found nothing. Need this for all the tracks in Britain. Great content
Took our CHR for it's service at Toyota got one of these as a courtesy car, quite surprised how good they are, there isn't anything l can say l dislike.
What are those shoes? They look pretty decent to drive in.
Lacoste Misano
That multimedia screen is really small
Thanks Richard. After not taking good care of my 2001 accord for years (and it continuing to run well in spite of me), I'm going to try to turn a new leaf with my next car. I think this video is really going to help me with that, to have the right attitude and plan going forward.
Shlouda
Very good review. Realistic and factual. I have been looking for a sports car that is comfortable but also not focused on the engine power, I want to be able to go on track with it, but also grocery shopping. But I see its a little small, and has small trunk. Do you have any recommendations for a car thats similar, has great value (I do not need big engine) that is perhaps a coupe or tiny bigger than this?
Driven all manor of vehicles on the roads of the UK and only Motorways and a few country lanes in Europe But eventually my partner and i will move to Poland to settle down and i must admit i am a little uneasy about Navigating busy built up areas and this vlog went some way to easing my concern . Really well put together thank you Richard.
The boot space is woeful, I had more space in my old nova 😂
Kia stonic or vw t-roc?
ua-cam.com/video/DRriCLhTr3Q/v-deo.htmlsi=YeNBH5-3Tm8p8TsM I did something exactly the same at Donington not long ago.
You left it in the sunshine.
great video thanks richard from a NC owner
If I were you I would keep it I bet not many people in England is running cars in good condition like yours
Impressive. Thanks
Nice one mate
Lucky enough to live 10 minutes down the road from Thruxton, great circuit, loads of fun. Nice video!
Great video! Im planning on doing my first track day shortly, I have a question about what you do with your "extra stuff" (i was going to bring some food, spare oil, tyre pressure gauage + pump) whilst you're on track? (Assuming you drive there in the car you're taking on track) You don't want that stuff in your boot flying around, but im not sure what I'd do with it? Or do you just avoid bringing anything with you?
Awesome, I really would like to do something like this but can't really justify the cost/wear on my sole car right now Great driving and commentary, love your videos
Hi bud what are these like on bad uk a-b roads can make my mind up between this and a hybrid Corolla on 17 or 18 wheels
Is it worthed if.im.one person rent and drive
I love Thruxton but I've only cycled and ran round it many times 😂
More video with best cars please 😊
Would you go to a track in europe? could be fun
Turns out the best driving instructors know heel and toe!
They've really dialled in this MX-5. Can't wait to get one at some point. Great to see how much you can put it through and it just doesn't really care. Great video as always
Cup 2's in the wet? I'm impressed they hung on as well as they did
Pilot Sport 4 nearing 3mm tread.
My experience of Autobahns saw speed limits before every junction, service station and long hills.
Nice video
Do you drive to track with track brakes, and what is it like driving on the road with them ?
Hi i was wondering if someone could help me: this Mazda or Kia Sportage? Considering 10k , kia more expensive....any thoughts please?
Nice driving. I got an idea. Collaborate with Jimmy Broadbent and race your MX-5 against his. On this track or a different one.
Just a quick question do you turn tcs off when on track?
Yes, I always have it off unless I forget.
Try this in your corolla touring
😂 The hybrid system runs out of power if you floor it for too long, then it's just the engine which isn't very powerful. Did this going up the Alps in Austria.
