Kinda expected to see this get posted on here sooner. Since Ryan doesn't seem to frequent here, I'm taking the liberty of posting his video of the Hypermiata's most recent outing. Holy hell!!

 

Gyad damn. The speeds he’s pulling through some of those big sweepers looks unreal. Also that thing sounds unreasonably good for a Camaro v6 😆

 

He was just on here a week or so ago talking about the car after OneLapHeroes did a video covering the car. Pretty wild stuff!

 

That’s awesome. I would love to see a build thread for it.

 

There's this...
https://hypermiata.com/blog/

 

oh hell yeah. Thank you!

 

Also, kind of outdated for the current evolution of the car, but https://www.miataturbo.net/engine-pe...-85075/page71/

 

That car is Freaking Amazing. I would looooove to play with that kind of power in a Miata. In a simulator. Where I wouldn't die from my own stupidity. >.>

 

Damn, I thought I did my research well enough. Oh well haha. Yeah, I saw the OneLap vid and he was getting active on Facebook around the same time but I swear I didn't see anything on here. He's been documenting the build pretty well on IG too.

I wish he'd consolidate it all in a build thread somewhere, but I assume one is probably pretty busy handling a project like this, so he obviously gets a pass lol.

 

This is what you are looking for, I think

Fuckking amazing. Killer work Ryan.

 

Holy hell, I forgot the GWR forums were a thing. Thanks!

Damn, even more props to Ryan after reading all the diag/fixing that he pulled off at that first track day. Dude's an animal

 

The ND-esque bumper/headlights looks really good. The NA's front end always look awkwardly narrow with giant fender flares and aero. This is a proper cohesive package now.
As we all know the first step to being cool is looking cool.

 

Amazing car, and that lap is just crazy. Looks like a regular Miata video on fast forward!

 

Figured I'd drop this in here since it popped up in my youtube feed.

 

Thanks for posting that!

 

RP and GRM oughtta be sending us royalties for driving all this traffic to their vids!

Awesome stuff. Can't get enough of this car.

 

4500+hrs and $150k....

suddenly, I am very content with him being faster than I ever will be lol

 

The figure I want to know for so many of the fast drivers is the number of track hours and the amount of money they’ve spent on track time. I doubt even Ryan (with all his spreadsheets) keeps track.

 

I loved seeing the rear suspension with no ladder bracing, mostly because I find all the comments from people that have maybe two autocrosses under their belt about how X, Y, or Z aftermarket bolt on brace totally transformed the car to be eye rolling.

The only reason to do a build like this is for a labor of love, and doing the engineering yourself, which of course is awesome. $150k was his response to "recreate it right now", not including all the money he's spent on the car while it had other powerplants or bodywork or whatnot. I wonder if that includes the cost of professional aerodynamicist design and consulting to get this latest ND style bodywork, or is just for popping out another set using the same molds.

 

You know your car is cool when other people update your build thread for you.
