Built Turbo F20C Time Attack Miata
10 Attachment(s)
Hello everyone, I thought I’d introduce myself and start a thread of my project. Don't really post on here much, however, as I am getting more involved in racing I'm trying to get exposure.
First of I’d like to introduce myself, my name is Kyle Eisner, I'm 21 years old and I’m currently a Mechanical Engineering Student. Throughout the past four years I have been developing my Miata slowly and surely and learning how to take the car to its limits. This is how I bought the car many years ago: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1336194680 Car was Montego Blue, 50K original miles, with full spec Miata suspension, Volk TE-37’s, and was originally setup by Nick Coello! Raced spec Miata’s now his broth Tony races them! Multiple National Championships, they know their stuff. Anyways I wanted to run track days in the car so I picked up some cheap parts. A bolt in 6 point cage, some seat belts, some RPF1’s and found some old used Hoosiers to get me going! https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1336194680 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1336194680 Started liking road racing more and more and it came naturally to me, ended up buying a Traqmate and a seat and steering wheel and some new Hoosiers for the next season as well as a nice Carbon Hardtop. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1336194680 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1336194680 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1336194680 Ended up running a 2:49 at Road America, on used up Hoosiers, was happy but was getting board with the power the car was making. So I boosted it with a Bell Engineering S4 Kit, and all the bells and whistles, big intercooler, oil cooler, Enthuzacar Exhaust…..ECT Car made 240 whp and became a MONSTER! https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1336194680 Got overheating problems down at Autobahn Country Club and parked the car, however ended up running some pretty fast lap times. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1336194680 So I decided to purchase more parts for my even up at Road America because I wanted to see what I could do in the car. Picked up a Supermiata GTC-200 Wing, 949 Racing Coolant Re-rout. Blah Blah Blah Ended up running a 2:38 flat on its first day out, still on stock brakes, DTC-60 pads, and 205 Hoosier. I don’t have any pictures on track because this is where the story really starts, 2nd day at Road America, late in the day I take her out like normal. Don’t want to get in to details but I was trying to push the car way too hard with what I had and coming into turn 12 I was doing about 130mph when the brake pedal hits the floor. Find out my driver side was in the grass. Car spins and the car rolls. Luckily the damage isn’t bad at all and now is where the fun begins. Car in action: Anyways I was fine walked away without a scratch or a single ache. Was wearing full gear, suit, gloves, shoes, helmet (obviously), and my highly recommended investment Hans. Anyway to get on point I am currently rebuilding the car as you read this. Trackspeed Engineering is helping me out and I will be running their 11.75 BBK Suspension is receiving a full revamp New Wheel and tire package New aero Anyways the car will be at its first event in May at Autobahn Country Club I plan on documenting the whole build however being at school the updates will be slow but here are a few of what I have sitting around waiting to go on the car! https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1336194680 Kognition Wing, this thing is an absolute work of art! https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1336194680 Some 15x10 6UL’s mounted on some 245/580R15 Slicks The car will be getting custom flares and will have updates to come! Thanks for looking |

Splitter is Aluma-lite (can support my weight), wing is Kognition with custom mounts for anyone wondering!

Those front tires are going to trap a lot of air. Might need something to direct the air over the tires. Nice looking setup though!

I must get pics of how you mounted that wing and possibly buy them for my car.

Wow. That is insane that you flipped that car and it was repairable. I had no idea that was even possible.
Awesome car man, like the videos too. |
Any more updates on lap times and what happen to the videos
|
Post pictures of the underside of the hood please.
|
engineer's car
It looks like an engineer/enthusiast put that car together. Great job.
Love to see more pics... |
great job building the car, great job bringing her back from the grave. It just looks awesome. There's something about an NA with big, fat slicks under it. Looks awesome, bet it's incredibly fast.

Haven't check this in a long time so i might as well update it. Car ran well this past summer, but only made it to two events. Had problems with the suspension and engine so it will be going through a complete rebuild this winter again. I will be running a fully tubular E-production suspension built by the FASTEST EP Miata drivers in the country. Will be building the motor and trans and running a Garrett GTX-3071 or 3076, haven't decided yet.
More to come! Pics on track last year. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1358094064 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1358094064 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1358094064 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1358094064 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1358094064 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1358094064 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1358094064 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1358094064 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1358094064 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1358094064 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1358094064 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1358094064 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1358094064 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1358094064 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1358094064 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1358094064 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1358094064 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1358094064 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1358094064 |
