Now that the rally car is crashed and I am all upset about that the thought of road racing has entered my mind. I know I will get really bored (as I did with kart racing) but that is no reason not to have fun for a little while.

I am looking for inside information on hot setups, preferred years and why, wheels, tires, suspension, add ons, what to look for in a street, or already prepped Miata? Stuff like that.

Thanks,
Chris

Mankiew i believe is heavily into Miata's. and can point you into the right direction

true dat on Mankiew! I went over to his house and he had like a half dozen Miatas in the driveway all in various states of AutoX upgrades. (among another couple mitsu project vehicles) Perfect candidate for your info though...

man i typed a long reply....gone.

i will be happy to help you with what info you might need. i know a couple very competative drivers that run spec miata. pm me if you would like.

craig

Been there!!!!!!

Thanks, I'll shoot you a mail on Monday, no time right now.

rallyguy, One of my best friends and his dad both race spec miata. I pit for them once in a while. I can have him call you if you want. They are very competitive in the midwest and very into racing, both work at woodhouse car dealerships,(bob woodhouse has 2 speedvision cup vipers, the comp coupes full race no vin#) my friends dad sells all the vipers for woodhouse. ryan and bill pemberton. anyway let me know and I can hook you up with them. barnes

Thanks to all, but I ended up buying a house last week. For those who dont know Bay Area (CA) house pricing, this means I wont be racing too much for a while.

Chris

No kidding. You're nutz. Spec Miata WOULD have been a great way to go racing. It's inexpensive and easy to stay competitive. If you want something cheap just to get seat time, you can usually buy a decent prepared Improved Touring car for anywhere from $2500-4000 with spares.

I'll be interested to see the difference now that 99+ models are allowed in. I'm sure they will try and equalize them but it will be hard to see what restrictor plates will do to the motors.

ive heard that people favour the earlier 1.6 over the later 1.8. this being becaus more modifications are allowed to the 1.6 the equal them out.
