I just looked at the results more clearly, how can you be first when the Porsche in the Limited FR class had a faster time? Are the numbers wrong? Classes wrong?
you can see what I mean. The GT2, S2000, and a couple other FR limited cars were on R coompounds. We competed in the street tire class. (over 150 tread wear). The supra wouldn't have won the FR limited class on r compounds, but it would have been about 3-4 sec a lap faster...
as for powering the miata, car just recieved a 2.0L engine, 750cc injectors, and a GT2871R. Now we have a season to figure out how to not break sh!t with it.
A comment about one of the cars in the photos-
that Tein S15 was nuts. RB26 stuffed about 2ft further back than is natural.the engine was half way under the dash it looked...
And full bore - your buddy should be proud. Not only is that 510 show quality, it goes like stink. He definately was wheeling that thing around the track pretty good.
Matt- I've heard a lot of nice things about that 510 and the lap times are proof that's it's not just a show car. lol. Then again it dosen't hurt to have a California state champion/ex Formula BWM racer/ALMS/Grand AM driver pushing the car around either. :mrgreen: Hopefully a deal will materialize for next year unlike this year... :roll:
Mattt, thanks for the clarification. Makes sense now.
That 510 is bad-ass! I predict a few more "hire-hands" next year, my friend is the Senior Editor for SuperStreet and he tells me this event is so popular people are holding off their SEMA show cars just to be in it!
150 is not r compound. RA1s have a 100 tread wear rating, and are the highest rated r compound I can think of.
We were running Yokohama Neovas. A full fledged street tire. I think with a little more power, and a little more tuning, we could get the car down to pretty near 2:00 on those tires. An RA1 or A048 would shave a little over 3 seconds I believe...
Not sure how many people here live and breathe F1, but wanted to start a sticky thread on the current season and results.
Thoughts on France and the upcoming Britain/Silverstone race....
There are many of us here with SUVs. SUVs and Miatas go together like ham and cheese.
Discuss SUVs, show off your SUVs, show us your pictures of your SUVs flexing out on mall parking lot curbs.
I know all of you read more than just one automotive board. Let's post up all those dope pics of cars that are saved in your computer. Regardless of make or style. If you think it's sweet, then post it up. I'll start.
Miata content.
Im sure that this will get flamed for asking this but here goes.
I want to make the car more driveable for long distance, as in cross country, but it doesnt lose its fun so i can go through those glorious mountain roads.
What can i do for say suspension, wheels, transmission.
sorry for the lack...
Just like the title states, I'm thinking about picking one up as my DD. If I buy one, I would just put wheels and lower it and call it a day.
Anyone in here have ever owned or have one ATM? Pros and cons about the car? Maintenance costs?
I would appreciate all the future inputs...
