Track addict from Chicago / Houston
4 Attachment(s)
Hello from Chicago!
A few years ago I bought a 1997 Miata to drive at track events. It was quite ugly when I bought it: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1319288222 Here's what it looks like now: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1319288222 I've driven many track events with it. I started out driving bone stock; massive body roll, tiny tires, and the slowest guy in the run group. Over time I've gotten to be a much better driver, and have improved the car incrementally to where it is today. Here's the major stuff: -Corbeau seats and 5 pt harnesses -Megan coilovers -FM sways -Hard dog roll bar -Depowered steering rack -Deleted soft top, antenna, radio, air bags, air conditioning. While I'm based in Houston, TX, I took the car with me on a long term assignment in Chicago to drive the tracks of the Midwest. In the past few moths I've driven Autobahn, Gingerman, Mid-Ohio, and Road America. Once I fix all the broken/worn stuff from the track season, I'm planning to do a full race-prep over the winter, starting with a cage from miatacage.com. I'm planning to compete in NASA TTE and perhaps later wheel to wheel in PTE or an IT class. I have aspirations of an LSx swap at some point, with perhaps a turbo 1.8 along the way, but for now I'm just having a blast with the stock motor, harassing expensive high-horsepower cars. Cheers, Nathan |

Welcome, why the rattle can job on the HT? Paint that thing white, it'll look so much better.

I do like the two tone black / white, so will probably stick with the color scheme. |
