Few autoX vids of the Miotta.
So I finally got enough done to the car that it was autox...able. So I took it to a test and tune yesterday.
http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/m...ox/autox19.jpg http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/m...ox/autox15.jpg It was very fun to drive... a serious handful... but fun. Of note... 4k+rpm vibration... still there (can't hear it in video though :( ) 195 rt615s are NOT enough tire I shouldn't be lazy and work harder on tire pressures springs are too soft for my taste (coilovers in the mail) I was about 4 seconds off FTD... and there were stock miatas on Rcomps faster than me. Also realize... its the 2nd time I've ever pushed/driven hard a rwd car... the last time was 1.5yrs ago... and it was 100% stock :p Anyways... as i said...it is a handful. Without further ado... here is my last and "best" run http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...07397870&hl=en Here are the rest of them 3-9 (1/2 i hit wrong button on camera... dnfs anyways :p, 4 is also a dnf) run 3 - http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...56140179&hl=en run 4 - http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...47960876&hl=en run 5 - http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...90658658&hl=en run 6 - (never knew my voice sounded so aweful on video...) http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...87822258&hl=en run 7 - http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...38856963&hl=en (up soon, google is slow) run 8 - http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...95832016&hl=en run 9 - http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...88542177&hl=en Enjoy the first run out in the car. It didn't explode or burn or smoke... so it is almost a 100% success... 100% would have been it handling like I want... and having traction... and not vibrating above 4k rpm :p |
Good footage, I need to get a camera.

COOL, there can never be enough SM2 miatas.

Not sure i'd be classed in sm2 :p I suspect my vmount and lack of other crap tosses me into d-mod or something else silly like that. I'm not an autox'r though... i just need a place to test/debug/learn a bit before I get out on open track. |

To each his own, I would bet on SM2 though. Unless you took out the interior, the v-mount itself doesn't exclude you nor do the holes.

Bumpers are parachutes. I poked holes in the parachute.

I thought chassis modification would void sm2? It has the front bumper support cut out and tubular rollbar frame built below for the radiator mount. It is also a gutted dash.
I was wondering why your bumper cover hole looked so much bigger and cleaner than what I was able to do. Oh well. Any empirical testing on the ventilated rear bumper cover? I melted the side of my current one running without the muffler on. I have a replacement that is more open, but haven't gotten around to putting it on yet. I do have a hole saw and am not afraid to use it. Anything I should watch out for? |
I think that the car has to weigh over 2000 lbs to be in SM2.

No personal data on the bumper. Other than on drag cars... a lack of bumper or a holed bumper will see gains in trap speed due to the reduced drag. That was enough for me. Plus I got the diffuser dress up plate in a trade... and figured why not :p |

My guess would be XP. Not a fun place to be on street tires for sure.
Question for you. Custom vented hood? How have those vent positions worked for you? I'm back to thinking about more hood venting on my car. This format.... http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/m...s/IMG_0664.jpg http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/m...s/IMG_0665.jpg I've just noticed a VERY warm/hot hood... and I am still undertrayless... |

Yah, I'd be in one of the crazy classes. Thankfully I'm not an AutoX'r :)
