    I like the hood like that, it works on your car.

    I autocross at least once a month. The photographers don't always notice.

    I just installed Flyin' Miata springs in place of the too-soft Racing Beat springs.


    The car is completely different. Cornering on springs feels way better than cornering on bumpstops, even FCM's nice ones. Ride quality has improved, as well. I didn't realize how often I was on the stops just scooting around town. I don't see how it won't be faster at autocross, will find out in a few days.

    This happened, too:

    Here's an ugly cell phone pic brightened in PS Express to illustrate the fender gap with the new ride height.
    It's taller in the rear by half an inch now. I'd like it to settle a little lower because I think it would look better, but if it stays like this, I can deal with it. Stiffer springs= better ride-- who'd a thunk it?

    Thank you!

    I have never been to an SCCA event. The local SCCA autocross program apparently shut down after the people that run it got burned out.

    I finished third in our local non-affiliated club's modified street tire class last season. The other STR-prepped NC finished first in class.

    The car looks awesome, sans the hood.

    I wanted to buy an NC so badly, but ended up with an s2k.
