Not so newb from Texas
Hey all,
I've been around this forum for a bit, but I don't post much. I've had my 2000 NB since 2006. It is primarily an autocross car, but I'm hoping for more track stuff. The below image is it's almost current form. I currently have a CSP style splitter/small air dam instead of the eBay GV style lip. I don't plan on turboing my car at the moment, but this seems to be the best forum for race stuff. I'm not really building this for any class or series, just my idea of the perfect Miata. Also, I love aero; so lots of time reading about that.
Current mods:
K&N Intake, Cobalt header, Roadstersport mid-pipe and muffler.
15x9, 225/45
Fat Cat Elite doubles with remote reservoir, 700/450
Flying Miata front sway, Sport package 12mm rear sway
Poly bushings in suspension/engine/diff mounts
1.6 interior swap, no soft top
Sparco steering wheel
Sparco seats, 6 point harnesses
Blackbird Fabworx single diagonal roll bar and spoiler
Hotboi rear bumper cut
Future mods:
9Lives splitter, mounts, air dam (Christmas presents, not installed yet)
Wing of some sort (likely 9Lives but I adore the Singular one)
Hood venting
Better hubs for track work, general beefing up for track work in general
Replace some of the cheap/used/marginal hop ups with good stuff
Dream Mods:
Kswap - I get $100 a month for car stuff, so horribly unlikely but a guy can dream.
I'll throw together a "build" thread at some point, but it will mostly be documenting what I've already done. Despite owning the car since 2006, it's been mostly stock until about 5 years ago. I've done one track day, Track Dog Racing at MSR in 2007. Sadly, I've not done any more yet.
