Having a blast in the Miata so far...
AND.... I know I can't be completely competitive this year.... but would love to borrow for these two events some items to improve my chances from bottom of barrel (or legality) problems.
I know many have extra rims lying around, holding them for various reasons.
I can easily remove the intake, and go back to "stock" and run SK2 at this point, or start mounting some of the parts currently in the garage and run STS.
My problem with either class comes down to rims, which are beyond this years budget. For local events... can't say I don't care but it's more about the "fun". For the National level events and the higher entry fee... gota say it's not so fun being limited by your car. I'm very grateful to the So Cal community for several loaner cars over the last several years, Ross (GS), Ken (HS), Mike & Mike (STS2) Ron (AS) (I know there's another owner/car but I'm drawing a blank).
Hopeing to reach out one last time... if you have either of the following rim sizes available to borrow, I would love to hear from you.
If I run SK2
14x6 4x100 39-45 offset rims to put my 3&4 yr old Falcon 215's on. Preferably Miata Hollows, but anything lighter than my 18lbs steel rims would be nice. (Can't run my Integra factory rims, as their 14x5.5, and not a size offered MY year Miata.)
If I run STS
15x7 4x100 (any offset that fits the Miata, since Stock 1/4" rule does not apply). Again to mount potential take off's on. Even light weight 15X6-6.5 would be usable, I know 15x7.5 is the thing to have, but I also know that's not likely to be lying around, and with 300+ run takeoff's, the rim difference isn't that big a deal in the end, vs those on fresh tires.
Thank you in advance to one and all.
Looking for help to prep for Tour / Pro

Re: Looking for help to prep for Tour / Pro
Criag - I have some 15x7 Kosei T1-S lying around with some fairly worn Azenis on them. You are welcome to borrow them for the Tour/Pro. You can either use the tires or throw them away and mount something else up.
You'll need to pick them up from my place though in Trabuco Canyon, or I reckon I could fit them in my GTO when I drive that down to SD for the Tour (on Friday).
