    These 2.5-swapped NCs are awesome.

    NCs are becoming a very sensible platform for a track build; they are very capable, can fit decent wheels & tires, RX8 parts just drop in for cheap upgrades, Fusion 2.5 engines are cheap and plentiful, and the car feels like a Miata from the driver's seat. Not a fan of the looks of NC1s and partially NC2s, but NC3s do look gorgeous.

    People who hate NCs need to drive one on track. Very impressed with the results of my first full event with my dads NC. Even after driving the car with un touched suspension settings and unknown brakes, I was able to take it around a streets of Willow with confidence.

    The warm up laps in the NC was as fast as my flyers in the Blue NA haha.

    Taken the supercharger off so many times that I can do it within 20 minutes, sadly it’s time to part ways from the whipple spinner for good. For good reasons more or less haha

    A lot of cutting had to happened, radiator support had to go. Radiator and condenser also had to be lowered about 1.5-2 inches
