Thank you so much for your help everyone!! So it looks like I'm in DP...

I really need to get better tires, I'm going to get slaughtered on my street tires.

Hey guys, so my Miata is no longer stock and I know the modifications I've done will bump it up.

Here are my mods:

Stance GR+ Coilover suspension (8kg/6kg front and rear spring rates)
14x6 wheels (stock size), but +38 offset
Aggressive alignment (-1.5* front camber, -2.5* rear camber, 0* toe all corners, max caster up front)
KG Works push button starter panel (has no performance gains other than looking cool)
All season Falken Ziex tires
OEM Hardtop

EDIT!!! I forgot to write that I also removed my soft top for weight savings.

It is a 1997 Miata with the stock 1.8 and stock Torsen rear limited slip.

Thanks for your help everyone!

I'd be happy to align to specs - Merchant's located in Chesterfield Meadows shopping center off Iron Bridge Road.

Ask for Alex.

Sounds like fun!!

BTW, I didn't want to start another thread on this...but Alexander Snyder #43 will not be making it, my coilovers won't be installed in time.

#40, 2nd heat

I was the white Miata after the black civic. I think I was third in line, Audie being first.

Darnit! None of me again

Please??!!

I apologize for the extremely late cancellation but if you would please remove #64, Alexander Snyder (1982 Mazda RX-7 STSII), I won't be making it to the event - something has come up.

DOH! Nobody got any 3rd heat photo's?

On the front page it says the next Auto-X @ RRC is Oct. 22nd, but when you view the registration it's for the 23rd.

Which day is it?

Maybe I'm just going crazy, but I could've sworn it said Oct. 14th for a while too...:ouch:

Darn, I saw John taking pics...he was at the finish and I believe he snapped one of my car, but after that I didn't see him again.

I'm eager to see if anyone happened to take some shots...I think this course would've led to some good ones!

Gosh darnit, Alex...I've had no one else in STS2 for a while now....

GREAT COURSE!!

I had so much fun on my last run...even though I was off course and took out a few cones, I was sliding all over the place and having a huge amount of fun; that's what really matters.

More courses like this one!!

I was wondering the same exact thing.

While walking to Guitar Works (in carytown for those who don't know) to pick up some new guitar strings, I saw a red first generation Miata parked on the side of the street.

Now, what makes this Miata special is the fact that the owner had somehow made the front grille to have white triangular teeth, making it look like a big mean mouth that would be ready to eat up anyone who crossed its path.

I wasn't able to tell if they were metal and welded on, or somehow painted on, or how they mounted...but I thought it looked cool as hell.

I was just wondering if anyone might happen to have contacts with the owner of the Miata...from the look of the car, whoever owns it must be a pretty cool guy (or gal).

So are you guys diggin' the trademark skullified FB?

The AC Cobra picture had a couple of these mysterious green "sparks" as well...

Anyone get a chance to take some shots from today's event?:bounce:

Yeah, they had fun runs at the end...I think it was like three runs for $5? Something like that...

Great event again guys! I'm burnt to a crisp though...yikes.

Awesome pictures!! Twas a great event indeed...:bounce:

Nevermind, they didn't have it in stock.

No worries, I bought an HJC helmet from helmetcity.com. Now, hopefully I have enough money for the entry fee!!

Awesome, I'll check there next time I have a chance...thanks! I didn't know G-Force Karts sold helmets. Rock on!

That's what I thought, I just wanted to check and make sure. Thanks!
