Speaking of weight reduction, I was surprised to do a side by side comparison and found the 11.75x0.81" to feel significantly lighter. Not only is the rotor overall thinner, it also has larger vents, so there's significantly less thermal mass. Looking at it now, it's hard to believe the stock rotor moves much air.

I got it aligned earlier this week. The Paco stands seem to consistently under report camber (maybe due to the effective offset changing the suspension load?). I targeted 0.6* more than my end goal all around. Assuming that's true, I'm at 2.5F/2.0R camber, zero toe all around, max caster.

To keep AC functional, I found thread on Miataturbo about a stretch belt option that fits the pulleys well. The only downside is that it is a 3 rib belt, vs the 4 rib pulley. So far it's worked well, but the peak need for AC is many months away.

It'll work fine. I got it to fit by warming up the throttle body, boiling some water, and using that to warm up the crossover pipe before slipping it over the throttle body. I also recommend you knock down the sharp edge on the barb of the throttle body before you do this.

An earlier version of the hat was 3d printed for test fitting.

Getting the caliper positioned properly took more clearancing of the caliper and upright than some other setups I've seen online
