Came close to eating the rear end of that S2000 a couple times. That car didn't have the understeer normally associated with Miatas going around a racetrack in a hurry.
Nice video, so what's the tyre and suspension setup?

wow tearing it up! Specs on car? Sounds NA to me.

so i noticed that this car was exceptionally Low at Big Willow. that mustve been under 12" ride height. this car puts down amazing times.
am i to expect that you had the 2.8* camber up front and the 2.5* camber in the rear ? and im reading this right with 0* toe in the rear?
also the caster is alot less then what im running.
this car is pretty amazing for what it has.
Emilio ,can you tell us what You think is the Key to this car running such fast times?
Xida-S ? 6speed + 4.3 ? Motor ?
obviously , this car is all suspension ,and tires, with a little motor and weightloss loving thrown in . but some of these times are pretty unbelievable, close enough to unlimited times. i think in Texas this could challenge the unlimited class. you should do that. ofcourse .

ofcourse Emilio is a hell of a driver. one of the best ive seen , in any car.

anyone who has driven SOW CCW should know that there is a great example of how to run into the Bowl , off the back straight. at 2:13 in that video above , it shows the lotus in front take the slow line, and emilio run up his bum with the fast line . its very obvious.

 

[Emilio700]

I'd say the biggest chunk of the speed is the tires and wheels, next would be the Xida's. Gearing and lightweight clutch next. The rest is all tenths of a second for each little tweak.

The Key, is attention to detail and careful tuning. The same parts given to someone else to build, tune and drive might be a tad faster, or a bunch slower.

 

[Piripi]

It certainly has many of the things I want for my 99. Build for fun and reliability for sure


Would love to install some XIDAS.

Do you use the hard dog door bars?

Thanks for sharing the speed tips Emilio, now i [kinda] know where to put my money.

Yes, the Hard Dog. We're a Hard Dog dealer.

 

[reversecaoboy]

Are the door bars worthwhile(say, instead of the FM rail braces)? And no fitment issues with the SPG? I just recently picked one up.

No frills on this car. It if it's there, it's because it works

 

[my97miata]

Were the Lotus and S2000 in the video really trying?
A Miata with 140 whp weighing in at 2140 lbs, that's some serious driving skills with suspension setup.
