<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
</p><p>To Do:</p><p>1. Buy 1.6 el chepo vatozone pads.</p><p>2. Swap to 1.8 brakes up front, and cheap pads all around</p><p>3. Clean wheels really well so that I won't ruin them if I drive in rain the next few days.</p><p>4. Add 3rd driveshaft bolt</p><p>5. Miataroadster shifter bushing should be here today or tomorrow, so install that (Ed you can have your shifter back now. I used it twice...)</p><p>6. Pack all my tools and spares.</p><p>7. Build everyones GPS units and maybe get them shipped.</p><p>8. Maybe play with building more ducting. But probably will be too lazy for that.</p>

<p>I really like it so far. Its way lighter than I expected (a lot more so than my pyrotech open face) but it does fit tight around the cheeks (I'm fat). I'm hoping the padding compresses a bit. The built in hans anchors are pretty cool, my pyrotech only had holes.</p><p>$220 for everything is hard to beat though.</p>

<p>Also, check out what happened to this cobalt with just 2 sessions. It was used, but the edges were not destroyed like that.</p><p>It only took a couple laps to affect the braking performance of the cobalts. While they were effected less than the stoptechs they still were noticably different.</p>

A main relay is good to have too.
A couple bottles of brake fluid, an 8mm wrench, and a hose that fits the bleeder screws. A spare set of pads isn't a bad idea, either.

Stock 1.6 sensors. Main relay is a good one. Don't have one of those. I'll add it to the list. I'll hit up Napa tomorrow. I have brand new in box dtc-60 and Napa organic pads. So worst comes to worst I can get home on those.

In addition to Ians list I usually lug around a spare front rotor and hub, and the tools to replace them. A couple gallon bottles of distilled water also can't hurt.

Yeah, if you're gonna have to drive the car home, a spare front hub is a good choice. That said, there are probably enough Spec Miata racers at a Trackmasters event that you can wander around the paddock and find someone who will sell you spares if you bring cash.
I wouldn't bring much distilled water if I were driving there, because space is limited and you can get it in town. I would bring lots of drinking water, however. It's going to be beastly hot, and heat exhaustion can be sneaky.
A spare coil pack, perhaps.
