Pat's fruity two seater beater
Mod List as of 3/14/11
Hard Dog Hard Core M2 Double Diagonal Roll Bar
Monsterflow intake (for an NA, modified to fit my NB)
Momo Drifting steering wheel w/NRG short hub
Racing Beat front endlinks
Removed rear sway (had to, endlinks were rusted so bad I had to cut them off, haven't replaced them yet)
Motegi Traklite 15x7 +35 w/Federal 535 205/50/15
XXR 521 16x8 +20 w/Falken FK452 215/40/16
Raceland Coilovers
Some random shift ****
Foamectomy on the driver's seat (still too high, more will be removed)
Day 1: Bone stock with 119k on the clock and in desperate need of an oil change, and a buff.
Stoked face
Shortly after: Buff, wax and oil change complete along with a borrowage of the other miata's hwheels.
Racelands and sportmaxx, flame away! (xxr 521, 16x8 +20)
MOTORSPORTS!
Goin legit homie...
Now sportin a hdhcdd roll bar, momo wheel w/nrg short hub and after I find some tires, these for my motorsports endeavors
As is obvious, I haven't gotten into a motor build yet. Eventually it'll happen after the funds come along and I've taken care of everything else I consider necessary.

Oh you're the guy from the NW thread on cr.net. What width are those new wheels, and what is your tire going to be?
Any power goals?

18psi I had that wheel design (mesh with some lip) in mind from the day I got it and with my lack of budget, the sportmaxx seemed ****.
Curly, yeah I'm that dude haha. The traklites are 15x7 +35. I'm looking for some used slicks or I'll get something along the lines of kumho xs or star specs. 205/50/15.
Not sure about power goals. Likely going the boost route. After a basic setup I'll probably get power hungry

Traklites are on! I had some federal 535's in the garage and since I can't afford a new set of tires at the moment, I had them mounted. I think I'm going to go a little lower, but I like the more business stance that it has now. First pic posted of the rollbar and steering wheel too.

I autocrossed a few times on the federals and they were surprisingly not all that bad to drive on. If they got too much heat they felt like pudding though. The last event I skated all over. Since then I've had my eyes peeled for a good deal on some used slicks and got very lucky today. Picked up a set of 13x8 +4 Rota RB's with 20x9x13 Hoosier R25's on them, as well as a second set of R25's and a pair of R35's, all with quite a bit of life left. The deal also came with some brand new 6 inch wide R45's but I think I may sell those to recoup some of my expenses. Also planning on selling the Traklites. Here was my poor subie today, stuffed with 4 wheels and 12 slicks haha.
and my glorious purchase stacked up in the garage.
I've also got a set of Tein HA's that need to be cleaned up, then they will go on as well. Everything should be ready to go for my next autocross in 2 weeks. So excited!
Since my last post I've also put red tint over the amber part of the tails to make them all red and clear. Looks much better IMO. Had a 2.25" catback made as well. No muffler, just a resonator right after the flange. Has pretty much 0 rasp and isn't hellishly loud either.

The 13's are for the NB. I don't have sport brakes and from what I had read, the 13x8 +4 fit just fine. Test fitted them today to be certain and they fit great. I do believe I'll need a fender roll before the car's ready to run with them.
Here's how it looks on them. BEEFY!

The wide hoosiers are mighty effective!
My first FTD and I wound up #1 in PAX as well!
I was 2nd in PAX and 2nd in raw times my first event on the Hoosiers also. I love these things! I wound up getting 3rd in PAX on the street tires (traklites and federals) and 8th in raw times last weekend also. I've learned a lot this season and can't wait to come back next season with an even better setup!
