Re: SCCA road racing - F-production Miata 1.6L

You failed to list a price.... By the way, Nice driving at the Runnoffs this year, that was one exciting race to watch. Oops - asking $25K with stock transmission. If you want one of the other transmissions, we can work on a price. Thanks on the Runoffs. It was an exciting race, more damage at the ...

Re: Shop that can weld stainless?

Not sure if they do stainless, but they may be close to you. They did some work on my racing Miata. The owner raced Sprint cars - or Midgets, so he has racing sensitivity.

Re: Trimming Fiberglass Safety

Use a shop vac while cutting. +1 . Try holding the vac to catch the dust as it's coming off the tool/part. Helpful to have a 2nd set of hands for this. Blow yourself off with the air nozzle before letting the dust settle on you for too long. Blow your shirt from the inside out. As mentioned, cold w...

Re: Porsche's LA Track! Thanks Pete L

That explains why the 30' high golfing statue next to the 405 has been dressed in a "Porsche Motorsports" racing suit and his club converted to a checkered flag. Makes sense now.

Maybe if I get some Porsche Boxster decals for my Miata they won't notice.

street car mechanic in Encino?

I have a racer-friend that lives out of state who was looking for a mechanic in Encino for his sister with a '98 Accord that needs new brake lines. Anyone have a mechanic in the Encino area that they trust?
The car is currently at the dealership...

Am curious, is this street legal? i.e. turn signals, headlights, wipers etc.... It could be street legal, some SM drivers drive their car to the track. Because of the exhaust that's on the car, it's not very neighborly. I do have another exhaust that is better. It doesn't currently have registratio...

Re: Looking to be schooled on NA Miata

knock on wood, its held up for 220k miles and a season of 24hr races so I'm hoping it stays together. As pointed out, the 1.6 R & P is weaker than the 1.8 version. It is adequate for street driving. Problems start when you're bouncing off curbs and dropping wheels into the dirt. The shock from ...

Spec Miata class?

I have a Spec Miata that I'm considering running in an autocross event. What class would it run in and what other cars are in that class?

How would old shaved Toyo RA-1's work? On the track it seems like they take some time to get up to temp and get sticky.

Thanks,
