Vlad, I didnt create this thread or any thread to brag....just throwing out ideas and seeing what has been done/proven and what hasn't.
I have tracked many things, carts(when I was younger), Honda's, Nissans, bikes a vette I had for a while, and a t25 miata I used to have. Currently I have a 05 RSX-S modded(daily, for sale/trade), 350z Track, and 2 miata's The one I'm building up and my screw around town sr20(gt2871) miata(350 whp) and the ducati 748. Going this week to hopefully trade by RSX for a Stage 3 B5 S4, a little more suitable daily. Anyway, lets not focus on if I can handle it, why not just encourage me to do it?? You wouldn't like to see me build a car I cant handle?? :giggle: |

The car in question and bike are at 2 different shops. Ok, can we get this thread back on topic, and off me? Since Sierra Sierra and many other time attack teams are using a "smaller tire" than they're capable of this leads me to think there is some truth to having too much tire. But then again I saw this imprezza set the Road Atlanta time attack record there on 305 18's 2 weekends ago.... https://www.miataturbo.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=44094&dateline=1337688 046[/IMG][/url]

kthx Let us know when you've done something rather than talk about it. People like you are a cancer on the forum, you run-off the people who've done the work, spent the money, and have the experience to share. Savington answered your question a few pages ago, but you disagreed with him and kept yapping. There are a select few people here who keep this forum going and provide information you can't get anywhere else, so try to be a little more respectful to them. Some of us who spent an extra $10k in mistakes so people like you get to keep your money deserve a little more respect. A few years ago we would have banned someone like you because you have provided nothing to this forum, your prop-rating clearly indicates this. |

Haha really? I started to build up a Miata from scratch in December and I throw out some arbitrary ideas and you think I'll have a POS for some reason. Let me guess you had your t25 miata togaether in a week?

Bbundy, do you have any idea on how much a 16x12 or 16x11 rim would be from the companies you listed above? I like the CCW Classic 4 design and I have a friend with a vette with CCW's he races with and they are light and great quality. They price them at $625 a piece for the 16's and that's pretty steep but I know you get what you pay for. I was just curious if you had any personal experience or knew anyone that dealt with the companies you listed on qulity and pricing.
Thanks If you’re worried about those costs then you have no business building a 400 hp track car Miata. to do a 400hp track car Miata well and you’re not thinking you’re going to dump 20 to 30k or more into the build then you’re not doing it right. You might be able to build a 400 hp Miata that you can take to the track for less but it will be a slow POS that breaks down all the time. Bob |

If you think you're only spending 12k on a 400whp track turbo drivetrain, you have another thing coming.
Based on your numbers, you're looking at a $50-60k build, so we'd all appreciate it if you would just stop whining about the cost. |

Do you guys think the ebay tubro kit will last 3 years of track events? Also, no one seems to run the 275 Nitto NT-555 tire, I think I'm going to try it. They're only $169/tire too!
I'm thinking about a rear-mount tubro once I'm done with the ebay kit, going with a smaller tubro so it won't lag as much with the extra long cooler-pipes I'll have to run. k, thx |

My 250whp car is on the limit of mechanical thrifty-ness. I don't know how you guys afford the drivetrain and wear item service intervals of 250whp+. At my output level and brakes, I still think it costs about the same as an NA powered Miata to race...it just goes a lot faster.
