New member here and new to Miata's. I have been interested in getting one to start building a track car. My current daily driver is a 2004 WRX. I am an engineer who specializes in aerodynamics. What got me interested in Miatas was some aero work I have done with one. I do a lot of external automotive cfd studies on different cars and design a lot of aerodynamic parts. Looks like a great forum with a lot of information. A picture of one of the pressure cut plots is below just encase anybody is interested.

Nice, another Indy guy. That WRX might come in handy tonight, looks like winter might finally be getting here, only 1 year late.

Yeah I can share a few, quality render isn't the best since they are just screen shots of the postprocessing.

I hope it comes in handy tomorrow morning on my way to work

Glad you finally joined up. I guess it's time to reveal our aero scheming to the world.
