Dude, I’ve owned a couple for over 20 years, I guess I have a handle on it. If I find a cheap set with a little curb rash or something then great, if not then I know my options.

More than a year after a devastating fire I’m finally in my new (to me) shop. Still a long way from fully equipped and officially open but I plan to have a couple DIY lift-bays among other things in the near future. However, the new Dynapack chassis dyno is up and running. I haven’t been...

need a set of wheels for my ‘93 so I can move it. Lost my ‘91 and ALL my wheels in a big fire last year leaving my ‘93 on jack-stands at home. It has stock brakes so anything intended for an NSX will work. If cheap enough I don’t much care what they are, I just need to move the car, so hoping...

Thanks, I did see those. $995 shipped isn’t bad for those assuming straight, but not what I’m after long-term and too much for just moving it around while working on it.

So, did you get them? Had I seen this sooner I would have recommended much less difference front to rear. Curious how it turned out and how you drive it.

Even more often than I think of Len I think of his daughter, and her bitter words at the funeral. I had no doubt at the time that they were actually the thoughts of someone close to her rather than truly her own because I can't imagine Len having raised her that way, and they were all the more...

What am I, chopped liver? :confused: :biggrin: 91 Blk/Blk CTSC+++ 93 Blk/Blk TT+ (mothballs)

Wow, on stock internals other than studs? What year car is that Brian?

http://www.sfifoundation.com Just and FYI in case you own any products from Impact (company formed by Bill Simpson to compete with the old one still using his name) Hard to believe he is that stupid, but apparently somebody was. Of course this doesn't mean that the stuff isn't just as safe as...

Excellent! Although my neck is a bit stiff from reading the chart. ;)

Lance, I've been racing Spec Miata for several years and with the latest rule changes giving more suspension travel, the best class for learning how to race has gotten even better. Since you are already thinking Miata, an already built and sorted SM like Bob's would be a great choice. Don't...

Probably pulled out the Moly because it was reducing catalytic converter life. I think a number of oil manufacturers did that at the request of the auto manufacturers so their cats would go 100k miles. Soon after that there was a sharp increase in cam lobe and follower failures. Correlation...

Dave, no offense, but all that in barely a month? Communication has never been Mark's strength, but to go from satisfied multiple-order customer to public flame in <30 business days seems odd.

I find myself with more cars than my brother and I can race, so we’re planning to make a couple of them available for local track events. We have a spare 2002 Spec Miata and a 1st-gen RX7. Both have been prepared to SCCA and NASA specs, so they can be rented for race weekends, test days...

New St. Louis area Dyno Shop with discounts for NSX Prime members! I’m not on Prime much these days because I stay pretty busy between work and racing Spec Miatas with my brother, but I still have and drive my 91 with CTSC, AEM, 6-spd, and lots of other parts, and the ’93 twin-turbo is...

I'm saying VP1 and oxygenated fuels by others such as ERC will produce more power than POG, or most popular race gas such as VP 110 or 116, in stock engines. I would not assume that is as beneficial, or even safe, in true no-limits NA race engines. It's also much more expensive, because they...

Sorry to dredge this up but I just stumbled on it and felt compelled to respond. As some have correctly stated, octane is there to prevent bad things that reduce power and potentially damage the engine, it is not there to “add” power. BIG difference, but not one the octane-boost marketers like...

Thanks guys. As for rules on classifieds, I definitely need to communicate recommendations for what makes them work best, but my strong preference in most things is to educate rather than legislate. Hopefully I can get away with that while the site is small. Mirroredshades, a couple of our...

First off, a big Thank You to Lud for allowing an old regular here to post this. I recently opened a new website for Spec Miata racers to address what many of us saw as a long-standing problem. At specmiataclassifieds.com the central focus is FREE classifieds and unfiltered information from...

Says the guy with a rotory PL510. ;) (Love the car BTW, I have 3 510s myself) Agreed! I prefer turbo, but they generally take more skill to drive at the limits.

Done all that but would feel better with the clips. Or I could just have someone duct-tape me in. ;)

Have you seen these? CG-Lock Looks like a great way to improve the way stock belts work during track days and "scenic tours". (I have no affiliation with them, just think they look like a great product.)

I've got this beautiful, high-tech, ultra-accurate gun that I've never learned to use, in fact I'm not sure which end is which. Every time I play with the damn thing I get hurt. :wink:

Thanks Jason, you are very kind. Ah, something I forgot. Another consideration when choosing between SC and turbo is the engine to be boosted. Superchargers are most common on drag cars with large displacement engines that inherently have gobs of torque and can overpower their tires even...
