    KMiata SCCA Solo XP swap

    It's finally getting close enough that I want to get started on prep work for this project since I've got most of the parts needed now. The first bit of prep was the steering rack, and so as to not lose the NB rack bolts I figured I'd put the bolts into the threaded holes in the V8R-sourced...

    20' Enclosed Race Trailer "Build"

    Figured this would be an ok place to talk about building out the new-to-me race trailer. With the kids getting to about the right age for it, we've added a Kart to the fleet, and very quickly realized we'd be able to take either the race car, or the kart, but not both. A buddy of mine had just...

    Lathe Rebuild & Refurb

    Yeah, it's not really a Miata build but it is Miata adjacent, as some of the first parts turned on it will be for my car. Figured some of y'all might be interested. I've been shopping for a small lathe for the shop for some time now, but kinda had a deal fall in my lap for a used, neglected...

    NA Miata Electric Power Steering

    I posted this in drips and drabs over in the "What have you done to your Miata today" thread, but figured I should post it somewhere on its own in case anyone's interested in doing this themselves. If I have one complaint about the race car it's that the steering wheel is fairly brutal on the...

    Atlanta Area: Got an ND Miata? Want a FREE bolt-in rollbar?

    Dave Hardy, my cage builder (and Atlanta SCCA autocrosser, and friend) asked me to put a few feelers out to the local Atlanta Area Miata community. He's done several cages and tons of fabrication jobs within the local racing scene (including the cage in my car), and is looking to develop a...

    FS / FT: 1.8L Miata ITBs $600 o.b.o. (Atlanta) - SOLD

    FS / FT: 1.8L Miata ITBs $600 o.b.o. (Atlanta) I picked these up back when I thought I might run CSP, however in DP there's a pretty hefty weight penalty to run the 1.8L so I'm sticking with the 1.6. That said, I'm asking simply what I've got in them. Asking $600, or trade for wide 15" Miata...

    Grand AM / ALMS Merger

    I didn't realize we don't yet have a thread about this huge, huge news, but... discuss. Obviously there's been a lot of news going on about this. For a brief summary, Rolex and World Challenge driver Mike Skeen has an excellent write up here...

    Atlanta City Council moves to Ban Organized Drift events in ATL

    I'm not exactly a fan of drifting, but I don't think this will affect only drifting. My biggest concern is this: If you think any local LEO / "concerned citizen" can't look at an autocross event and say that it meets that definition, I'd say you're fooling yourself. So, as much as it pains me...

    Valentino Rossi vs Jorge Lorenzo: Catalunya, 2009. EPIC Battle.

    I still remember watching this one on TV and if you saw it, you probably do too. It got posted up today on a motorcycling forum I'm on, and I simply had to share. What an absolutely stunning piece of riding on both their parts.

    New DD content: It's no Mazdaspeed3, but it'll do...

    So obviously the Mazdaspeed3 is the greatest car of all time, reading this forum has definitely taught me that. Sadly, I couldn't afford an MS3. All I could afford right now was one of these: Woe is me! (rlaugh) 2005 Suzuki SV650 with 6000 miles on it. Only 72 horses under the... well poop...

    Joplin, MO, ~5 months later

    I was in Salt Lake City for the last 2 weeks on business. The flight back left at 8:30 in the morning which put me in "the heartland" in the late morning with the sun way overhead. Perfectly clear day, awesome day to sit by the window (which I usually don't prefer, but I usually fly at night...
