Stoptech V8r brakes are great! Need to change rear compound to something with less bite. Got some XR4's on the way.
With the 1" master and sport booster they are still a bit touchy for good heel toe blipping. Ideally I would convert to dual manual masters but that's not in the cards right now. As silly as it sounds I am gonna try adding a couple of big springs to give more pedal pressure. Pretty primal but I bet it will help.

I have no issue with standard '89' 1600 master cylinder and the 11.75" fronts with Goodwin (old) v3 rear (same size as sport I believe)..Carbotech/G-lok pads.
In fact I am scared to make any changes because they are that perfect..... but then I like a 15 and 16 mm rear sway bar too....must just be me.
7.3.2.a.1, right? Greg confirmed? I have a set for Rover, pulled them for PTE years ago but was considering adding them back mostly for ballast.
Yup that's the one. I even asked Greg for an exception so I can repair my caved in ones. I also explained they were nothing more than floor supports. He was not having any of it. Said they would assess points for the "mod" if I altered them from the originals.
I can forward you the email exchange if you like.

Could this be a ST2 car or is there a component I'm missing that puts it into STU? If it can, I think it could be really competitive, at least in TT2.
Sorry late reply....somehow missed your post.
It's classed as SU just to make things easier as we shake out the car. I crunched the numbers and it will fit in ST2 pretty easy with some tweaks. That class is not that great in my region though. ST3-ST4 is where you want to be for good racing. ST3 looks very doable. ST4 will be tough with the non OEM roofline and pending sequential.
I need to optimize the saline interface over the next few events. That's really what's holding things back at the moment. The extra power and grip helps overcome some of that to make racing more exciting.
The time has come to part with my Miata. It's been a long fun road ending with much less usage than I expected. When I started building the ultimate track Miata I was driving 10+ times a year. Lately it's once or twice, I just don't see that changing in the future. The car is soooooo well sorted! It just needs to be driven more!
Most of the build history can be found here in this thread. $25k Tom 415-515-9018

1" 929 Master cylinder, NB Front Subframe, (improved geometry)
Spherical control arm bushings on lower arms and rear upper knuckles,
Delrin control arm bushings on upper arms.
Fuel Cell etc
That is high on the list of changes desired. It's still running stock brakes so that needs to be addressed first.
Can you remember how well stock brakes work on that car? Im building my Rotrex right now and wondering whether it is worth to start with stock brakes w race pads.
Btw, what a shame that you sell it. Congrats to the new owner.
GLWS Tom. As near as I can tell, that car is one of the few very well sorted and really fast Rotrex BP powered track cars on the planet. New owner will love it.
I have said it before (maybe even in this thread) but I love this car.
It rips me that Autokonection (sp?) couldn't stay in business with this kit. I ordered it so many times and each time bailed feeling the time lines (or something) weren't right with his payment versus orders etc. Sadly for a friend of ours who paid and never recieved.
BUT youare so right, it is a lovely kit when fitted properly like yours.

Good thing CCP and Lightyear are now offering fastback options and are fulfilling orders.
