^^ Good to see JimmiO before his incident :(

Are you just using adapters for the R33 wheels??

 

Front, stock inners, M edition outers, tie rod spacer, stock knuckles. Rear SPL upper control arms.

No adapters, had new hubs drilled to 5x114.3, and the R33 wheel hub bore bored out to the larger E36 hub diameter.

 

The season started back up, video and photo dump.

I've followed this thread for a while as i have similar plans. I'm curious about cooling. Right now I'm on a stock rad w/o the AC fan due to IC piping. Looking to change the Ic piping and upgrade the cooling all around but am curious what your experience was like with your various setups over the years?

Obviously it would be ideal to have a car that can hot lap all day but $$$ is always a factor due to other priorities.

Keep shredding man!

 

Car still gets really hot, but I think that's just drifting. Sustained high rpm sideways driving, and not getting enough airflow through the radiator like road racing. I can't hot lap drifting unless it's a high speed road course with some straights to help cool the car off. The track in the video a lot of drift cars struggle to stay cool. When I took the car to palmer motorsports park and lime rock, I could do a 30 min hot lap grip driving session and only start overheating during the last few laps. That was before the hood vents.

From the drift event in the video I posted.

Took the M3 to a SCCA Track Night in America at Thompson Speedway. Fun change of pace, car needs a few things like a fuel starvation kit, apparently some e36's don't like sustained right handers with half a tank of fuel. Also need a diff breather and a shifter kit with a 2nd gear lock out...$$$$.

 

Looks like a blast. I've been wanting to track my daily (323 GTX) as well and I've been slowly prepping it to hopefully hit some events next year.

Do you ever take the miata to timeattack/track days? Would love to see it ripping around, I bet with some minor tweaks it would be a real threat on the road course.

 

I've taken the miata to a few track nights, raised it and put some hoosiers on. It's a lot quicker on the road course than the bmw, I just got sick making adjustments to it get it ready for a grip driving event during drift season. You should def check out a Track Night, really well run, fun events.

 

 

 

 

Lock City Drift season opener last weekend.

 

 

 

 

 

Wet event, but dried up towards the end of the day. Got to drive with 2 other turbo miatas, so that was cool.

 

Nice content! Glad to see you are still ripping the car. Thanks for sharing.
