This winter I'm going to have a full cage built that will meet the NHRA requirements, but hopefully will also allow me to do lapping days. Seats, harnesses, driveshaft safety loop and a scatter shield and I'm good for down to 10 flat. I'll easily have the power to get there, just a matter of whether I can get the drivetrain to handle it.

You should start a for sale feeler thread for your roll bar and such, a while ago I calculated that'd I'd get about half my money back after buying a miatacage.com kit and selling my other stuff. Too bad I can't afford that $500, or the installation.

I want to, but I keep going back and forth with this car. Part of me says that I should stop now and start a new build. The other part of me says to take it as far as possible. There's one huge downside to trying to take the car any further, I view it as a street car and want to keep it that way.

Are you using the HD or HD+ mode? I can see the difference in sharpness if I look hard/freeze frame, but don't think it will actually matter IRL on a track.
The 2hr vs 1hr video time and 4hr vs 2hr storage capacity DOES matter for me, only you live your life a 1/4 mile at a time

I really want that steering wheel gone, but I have a hard time buying non performance stuff. The the pretty pieces are from the previous owner, that is unless they are functional.
It's funny when I go to Miata meets how people react to the car. The older more responsible crowd tends to gravitate to it because of all the shiny **** and my age. Then after about 2 minutes of telling them I have no idea where the shiny radio surround came from and that it's not a MSM I search out the clubroadster crowd because they completely ignore the car. Fun times.

HD gives you 4hrs (still 4GB per file = 2hrs per movie)
HD+ gives you 2hrs (still 4GB per file = 1hr per movie)
It is also able to record in VGA but I never looked at that...
