Went to the dragstrip with the miata for the first time...



2001 miata ls
Flat top manifold
phenolic im spacer
miata roadster extended shift kit
205 re71r on 15x8 RPF1
Coilovers/swaybars/endinks
Coolant reroute/radiator

If i had the 15x7 and 185 snow tires on the car, it probably would have been like 15.9 or something. It felt a lot quicker with that rimset

 

Nice runs man. I know it's torture being that close to the next second down and not being able to get it, seems like that happens to me every time.

 

Haha, yeah. I figured, i tried three different techniques, and shift points, and the car pretty much did exactly the same thing. It wasn't gunna happen.

I also felt launching at 4000rpm was high enough. Probably could have got the 15 if I launched harder.

 

Not bad for basically stock. I think I did 15.8 @ 86 stock at same track, I have the slips posted here somewhere.

You can definitely improve on that launch. I think I got 2.1-2.2 on all seasons and I'm no pro by any means.
