ECR track day fun
I went to the track this weekend at Eagles Canyon Raceway in the Ft worth Texas area. Had a lot of fun, ran in the advanced/instructor session. My car still got too hot and i had to loaf half the session. My ghetto ducting didn't do the trick. Still managed to turn consistent 2:04 times at the track, spec record is 2:07. The little turbo Miata is officially faster than the 420whp 2012 Boss 302 I used to track. I got a good laugh, my loafing 5th gear no shifting laps were mid pack intermediate laps. Video whoring below:

no reroute on the car. Trey, do you really expect your na car to only be a second off the same car when it was turbo? what sort of power is that thing putting out? BTW, the spec record there is 2:07. Only a few weeks off the toy run and we can see, looking forward to it.

**** shocks
<120whp
------ brakes
Torsen ------ diff
2:07
Green Glory Hole:
the best shocks money can buy
170whp
hetero brakes
Cusco
There better be more than 3 seconds in 40% more hp, better shocks, better brakes, and the manly diff.
1:59.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 999 back in March with the turbo. Now that I've "taken the orange pill", I think I have the skill to eclipse the manliness of the Cali crew.
No Puerto Rican 1911, no care.

PS: if we have 3 miatas at the toy run turning 2:04 laps, porsche owners will weep openly and vette drivers will leave after the second session.

Am i the only track ***** running a rear bar? i've got this one on the car:
http://www.racingbeat.com/Miata-1990...ars/54101.html
and the matching front
Also i think i have a few more track days in my 225 r888s on the car, ive liked the tires well enough, seem to grip very well. that said, the r888 are the first r comps i have ever used. Most everyone uses the nt01, you guys that have run ECR think they are faster?

lol, that's funny, AFAIK the ECR instructors are typically the spec boxter guys. I can see them being bitter when a $15k miata is all up the tail pipe of their $30k race car. I hope it doesn't rain, I want some track time.
Am i the only track ***** running a rear bar? i've got this one on the car:
Miata 1990-2005: Suspension - Sway Bars: Sway Bar - Solid - Rear - 90-00 Miata -
and the matching front

If you run a stock rear bar on a Xida car, you have a vagina (a busted one at that). If you run a stock rear bar on something else...the jury is still out.

It all depends on how the car drives. If you had the same springs and dampers, then we'd tell you to get an MSM bar.

i assume you are both running advanced group at the toy run?
