I'm a doof and didn't see 'PM questions' Bump anyway.

I'll be back there next summer if anyone is interested maybe we could do a meet there, maybe do a few laps in a rental Be careful. I've heard lots of stories about rental agencies that assign an employee to do nothing all day but write down license plate numbers of their cars, so they can void your...

Insane. Has anyone had any experience on the Ring? I was lucky enough to get two laps in a GT3 RS but I've yet to drive on it myself. I'll be back there next summer if anyone is interested maybe we could do a meet there, maybe do a few laps in a rental }:)

Would it be alright though if I used the side mounts and then bolted the mount into the floor bypassing the slider? I'm afraid to going with an aluminum seat because the car is still my daily driver, and they seem pretty extreme. Lastly, what's the verdict on using the factory 3 point seat belt whi...

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the concern with bolting a fiberglass or kevlar seat to the floor of the miata? Fiberglass and kevlar (and other composite) seats rely on the fibers for their strength and stiffness properties. When you cut holes in these types of seats you are severing fibers and t...

Mike, A couple of years ago, Iron Canyon Motorsports (here in SoCal) sold a seat mount base for Spec Miata racers. I don't know if they still sell them but I'm told they worked well. The stock seat rail idea will probably work well so long as the car's not destined for road racing. For road racing ...

Oh man. The base would fit in the miata, but I think the shoulder's are too wide by an inch. Anyone know if the Suzuka would fit in a 99' miata with roll bar?

Hi Mako, Mind telling me what pads/rotors ya went with? I'm currently piecing my 99' miata together, although I won't be in CS (damn seat is too high! :evil: ) I'm gonne be doing the brakes soon. On miata.net members were stating that NAPA rotors work fine for track events. I dunno. Just looking wha...

Wonderful! I will definitely pick up the Bilsteins then. I've always heard great things and have been in a few race cars in Germany (on the Ring as a passenger) that had them equipped but what kind they were, how they were dialed in, etc. was all above and beyond my comprehension. They seem like qua...

Hm, interesting David. Although I'm still confused now if I'm allowed to use after market bumpstops provided they are only used/modified to fit an after market damper to physically fit into place? I get what you're saying about buying the cheaper stuff and regretting it later. Would Bilstein Sports ...

oh man oh man. CSP is a pretty crazy class, but I guess it doesn't matter so much where I get placed, just as long as I have fun, right? And I gotta be comfortable and fit in the car.. guess I have no other option to gain clearance while staying in CS. thanks everybody!

Hi everybody, I've got a few questions regarding CS class for my miata. I've got a hard dog hardcore roll bar for the car (isn't installed yet). I was wondering how specific the rules are on taking out seat foam in my seat. At 6'1 I'm not comfortable with my head so close to the bar (i've got SFI 45...
