One of the guys from AFH argued with me that a bolt wasn't missing from my RSX-S oil pump kit. They might know a lot but their customer service needs some work... lost any future business from me over a 50 cent bolt.

Subscribed. The progress looks great, and I'll be sending customers here to view your build progress to gain more insight.

Here, let me help you with that ... https://www.miataturbo.net/general-m...2/#post1204024
Speaking of...I'm going to be adding some pics and more details to a couple of those posts where it says "placeholder". For example, next time the intake is off, I'll snap some of the coolant hose routing. And I just got some more of the electrical stuff this am.
Edit: see post #58.

The door bars are an interesting design choice. I guess ingress/egress is a higher priority and you won't be dealing with other cars hitting you so there is less need for protection at hip height. Also, is your wife your partner for this again? Stock seat with a 3 point belt for her that unbolts before competition?

The NB OE door bars are pretty hefty so we are relying on them for on-the-road levels of intrusion protection. And since no wheel-to-wheel, the risk of on-track t-boneage is much reduced (though certainly non-zero). We did the same thing on the CRX.
Yes, Ann is transit-driving again. Current plan is OE right seat, mounted against the floor (no slider), with a foamectomy. She is short-waisted, so there is no bar clearance problem for her, but I need to be able to ride/sleep over there w/o being near the front down tube. We'll use a Shroth style belt set over there.
On the driver's side, we are going to use a Kirkey that is two sizes too big, but padded up using space shuttle foam to fill it in. This should allow it to be reasonable for long transits. Ann will get a "midget shim" additional booster pad so she can see over the door sill when in the driver's seat.
