I'd turn the Miata into a track missile. Also, car payments suck.

Good, hopefully it will be a S2000 killer and I can move on. Also, I want a Supermiata.

MourningGlory posted:I’ve seen this car in person and I casually know the owner. I haven’t closely examined it but I have owned two MSM’s in the past so I know the platform and this one seems pretty solid from what I’ve seen. The price is definitely high. I’d shoot for $7500 if I were interested but in general pricing on MSM’s is completely bonkers so who knows what it’ll go for. I think I know who the car is owned by too, I don’t think we’ve been formally introduced though. Brandon?

TSE kit for the inevitable Supermiata S1 conversion, because that is what I really want but am way too deep into the S2000 money wise to make the change at this point. Well, this has been enlightening and I will be passing. Thank you all

Wrar posted:Cup Miata was for NCs. I'm sure it's sorted out with those guys. Going to be a wee bit different tire wise. Phone posted:I think the only game in town is Ohlins + whatever springs. Emilio hinted that they might do a NC shop car next; he's expecting it to be half of the cost of the FR-S and be faster iirc. I'd heard that he was working on an NC too, hopefully the suspension easy button is available soon. I think the Goodwin car went to SLB on the MeisterR coilovers, but either way it seems like they are working on the chassis setup. It appears to me that the NC is probably pretty disgustingly quick for little money with a 2.5, the right suspension, and some 17x10s.

Russian Bear posted:Needs a bigger wing STAT. Congrats! I've got one of those... Won't go on the car because its too wide though  Diametunim posted:Congrats Mk4 that thing is wicked. Post video of it on the track ASAP. Are you keeping the S2K as well or replacing it with this? I've got 6 days between mid-October and the first week of November, there will be video. My plan is to sit on the S2000 until I sort this thing out, then probably sell off all of the suspension / brakes / aero / ecu / new cf hardtop / etc and drive it around as a daily. I'm guessing I'll probably sell it though I was basically at the crossroads of caging it and making proper class power, it so turned out that it costs significantly less to part out the S2000, sell it, and buy the Miata. This thing affords me the ability to easily class between ST/TT2 and ST/TT4 depending on tune, tires, and weight -- the S2000 is bottom of class TT4 and is really only a decent platform for TT5 outside of regional. Anyway,

Phone posted:yeah, i've never dealt with greg but i know a lottttttttt of people who have I hear that. The car also has those Singular vents that are illegal because of the gurney flap  Diametunim posted:How tall are you Mk4 and are you going to do W2W in the car? If you're tall at all your only options are drop pan or bolting the seat to the floor. I'm 5'8" and it'll be w2w'd. I just looked and the rear humps have already been removed. Interesting thing is my S2000 has a Sparco Circuit, same as this car. I guess there was a revision, the seats are different sizes and the seat padding is easily 2x as thick in the Miata one. Probably just test swap the S2000 Circuit into the car if I need more space than the seat pad swap gave me, we will see.

It is bolted on top of the crossmember in the front and to the floor in the rear. After sitting in a couple of SMs yesterday I can confirm that I was just spoiled with headroom before. In my car I've got an inch above my helmet to the roof skin, can tilt my head wherever forward/right, and hit the cage padding if I tilt my head left about an inch. I'm still going to work on sitting lower, but it was basically the same case in the other two cars.

Could someone post a picture of their NB Miata of the area between the trunk opening and the quarter panel? Is it basically flat as the drip rail heads back to the tail lights or is there some kind of curve to it?

Is there a difference between the long rear lower control arm bolt between NA/NB? The ones I took off my car (NB) have a fine thread pitch, and the ones I was given by someone else came with nuts but both are coarse thread so I am guessing they are NA (?). I assume they are interchangeable, right? I see Treasure Coast has you select NA or NB so now I am second guessing.

Leave the airbag in the car unless it is a track car and you're doing the entire safety system in one shot. Proper seat, 6pt harness, roll bar, HANS, steering wheel. 4pt are generally a joke, but if you for some weird reason must have one buy a Schroth ASM and leave the airbag in the car unless you want to be dead or pooping into a bag for the rest of your life.

Anyone know if the NB2 blue/white wire on the ABS module is the right one to switch for an ABS toggle? It seems to connect to a 10a fuse in the passenger compartment fuse box. I'm not real keen on splicing into the large 15a white/red wire.

Rhyno posted:Isn't it the same one used in the S2000? No, they are variations of the Aisin AZ6 and aren't interchangeable / don't have many swappable parts. Also included in the shared list are the RX8, FRS/BRZ, Altezza, S15 Silvia, etc. I briefly looked into it when I realized my car makes enough power to shred the 6spd.

While not entirely applicable to the posted question, my gripe about 15's is that if you want to run a 245 you get: Hoosier A7/R7 Hankook RS4 (forever backorder) Maxxis RC1 V1 Toyo RR Nankang AR1 Nankang CR1 BFG Rival S The AR1, RR, RS4, and RC1 are all fairly similar lap time wise, based on what 949 has said, but you don't get the current fast stuff like the A052 / RT660 or even the current version of the RC1 so you're kinda hamstrung if you're bound by classing.

TrueChaos posted:Yeah they do yearly production runs and once they're out they're out till next year it seems. Typically come in around March-April, though who knows with COVID. I can check with my tire guy if you want and are willing to pay to ship from Canada. I appreciate the offer, unfortunately I think the extra shipping would probably kill the savings entirely  Hopefully we hear something soon.
