The racecar looks good.......................

[Doward]

Drives good too. ;)

Couple autoX vids of it in here. We are "those guys" trailering to autoX events. Lol. I used make fun of guys like me...

Representing with some nickel nines in the 949 tent this weekend!

Since the car was finally together and "presentable" in my opinion for the last trackday, I broke down and bought some professional trackside photos. First time ive ever done that! They show all the imperfections...

Looks nice and poised through those corners!

[Doward]

Not bad for a porky s.o.b. It still has both tops, power windows and few other things, plus a passenger/student most sessions. 700/400 squats the rear pretty good still.
I can flirt with spec times with a passenger, it's pretty crazy.

I'd love to run something that stiff, but I seem to recall I found it a little too bouncy, even with good shocks (for a street car).

[Doward]

Yea, I find it just barely tolerable on the street. Any trip longer than ~20 mins and I have to put the butt pad back in the seat.

Here are a couple pics of the black car on the Flyin Miata Vmaxx Xtreme Track Pack. They are advertised as 504/336 with helpers of 112lb. Flyin Miata sway bars and Supermiata links. TR cheapo 9's & 225 RS3s. Basically an SCCA STR build we run in a local CSP equivalent that our Buckeye Miata Club calls BSP.

Hmmm... from one auto'xer to another, I may need to look you up next time I get down to C-Bus.

Dang...that's way more lean than I'd expect for a 500/300 setup with those sways. I'm going to guess it's partially due to the grip from the tires, no?

[Doward]

It's weird. I know more than enough suspension stuff to get myself in trouble but I'm no expert. It looks like the inside is coming up way more than the outside is compressing. It's a pretty light car, no ac/cruise/abs/power anything/softtop/emissions, shorty exhaust, 93 dash swap, no airbags. It sits with about a fingers gap from tire to fender in the front, two fingers rear. Under compression it just barely tucks tire. But looks like its about to lift the inside tires. Almost like the helpers are strong enough on this light of a car to raise the unloaded side all the way to the end of shock travel.

Blu, anytime dude! Hit me up.

I'm really liking the lexan rear window to be honest. Your car looks at home on the track.

Great action shots!
