"Per the SMAC, a bolt-on subframe can be replaced as long as the replacement weighs at least as much as the original and
does not alter suspension geometry. (#6740)"

How long before we see a 3-rotor Miata?

Rick, as long as we have to drive it to the event, I'm all for it!

All this RT stuff does seem to be coming at the last minute, but the announcement posted that RT is being added as a supplemental to Nationals gives a valid reason to change.

I'm just figuring out how much alphabet soup I need to buy to get through the year.

John, that's what i figured. Used parts are hen's teeth for this car since it was a rare bird to begin with.

Remembering this Corvette story prompted me to ask in case anyone had come up with a work-around.

I really want to build a Prepared car, but it's not my $$$ being spent here.

Actually, I'm trying to not have to buy too many.

Every club has their own preferred method for both registering and running practices: some are very user-friendly, and some still invoke double-secret probation. Yes, it can be frustrating for new(ish) folks, but I don't ever see it changing. As practices are put on by individual clubs and not CSCC ...

With the addition of "Road Tire" index as a supplemental class for 2012, can we now use the national RT designation in place of our regional SK?

Here's a variation on the question:

I have a particular car that needs new control arm bushings, but both the bushings and the complete control arm assembly are now officially NLA from the manufacturer.

Are we completely screwed?

Congratulations!

Wait, Lugod is a rookie? Must be one of those rock star things... "it only took me twenty years to become an overnight sensation."

When you call a time out, do they pull your partner out of line with you?

I like John's interpretation better.

Been there, done that... No thanks. If the lot was somewhat flat and we didn't have random rivers running across the course, it would be at least safe: as it was, you had no idea when your car was going to head off in some random direction as you had no was to cauge the water depth. http://public.fo...

Is there a payment method for those of us that refuse to support paypal?

One bump before I take it apart. Was hoping it might live on as a racer, but it's not looking likely.

This is a National trophy-winning car ('10 El Toro Pro) and could do it again.

I'll take one of the "End of 1st run group - Noon" slots if they're still available.

With our current run order, does this leave time for a lunch break course walk?

I've been doing tech at SCCA events for about 30 years.

Just to clarify, this car does NOT have traction or stability control. Pretty rare to find an otherwise loaded car that didn't come with this. Thanks for all the kind words. It really is a fun car, and I would keep it as a daily driver if I had the space (and won the lottery.) I may still be in STR ...

We'll see... a couple of interesting options out there, but I need to have cash to jump when they're ready. I'll be needing an FJC soon for my son, so now that I'm considering a trailer that opens up a lot of new possibilities.

Holy cow. This is the one car that would make me jump to the dark side.

I know this will sell quickly... I just hope someone here gets it before you turn it loose to the Fanbois.

We have a similar problem installing roll bars ion NC Miatas: the roof structure prevents any rearward braces unless the soft top is completely removed. The accepted solution (as in, allowed at SCCA time trials among others) has been a single, forward-facing brace from the top center of the hoop to ...

Define small... you're a tall guy, so I'd guess no standard cabs?

If you have some idea of your wants and price range I can send you info on the ones I come across.

And just like that they're gone!

Set of four wheels: 15x8, 4x100, 40mm offset, 59.1 center bore. Gloss black with machined rim.

Brand new and never even opened the boxes... well, maybe I opened one to look at it, but it got closed and taped back up and now I can't tell which box it was.

$450 for the set
