I've been talking to a track owner who would like to have some Miatas available for small groups. He is hoping to boost attendance and offer a little informal timed competition. The budget would be small but they wouldn't all have to be the same because drivers would switch cars over the weekend. My son's car is the model, he has $1500 total in it, 94, roll bar, FM sways, m-tuned brackets with VR6 rotors, and useless ebay springs and "shocks" his non car person aunt bought him. He has a ton of fun and the car is rock solid reliable. I would obviously install hard dog roll bars in them and some decent tires, but what would you guys recommend for everything else? And what might be the liability issues? Everyone signs off on everything but you know how that goes sometime. Also, I am old and hate the internet, so take it easy on me and my stupid, should have researched it all myself, questions.

 

harness. for liability.
1.8 brakes with good pads and fluid is fine.
set of sway bars and any set of coil overs.
good alignments.
remove weight from the vehicles .

set of 205/60/15 200 tread wear tires.

full send.

 

Basic SMs rent for around $600 per day here. Once the car starts getting beat on, you'll have a lot of upkeep expenses. In addition to customers assuming the risk for an inherently dangerous activity, make sure the rental contract is clear that they are responsible for damage all the way up to a total value.

 

For

reference. I currently own #50... :-D

 

Perfect. Thank you everybody. Does the $600 include gas and hoosiers? I am a teacher and my kids are headed off to college next year, so I need something to keep me out of trouble in the summer.

 

Does not include gas. Does include tire wear.
