A customer of mine is supposedly first on the list at his dealer for a new ZR1. He usually drops his cars off and says to go have fun. I'm pretty excited to do the oil changes lol.
I had hopes of going against him this year but it's not looking good for me either. Honda vs Hyundai gonna have to wait. I was excited when I read @J1Avs brake setup thread but then i looked at the pricing. Why does the Miata have to be so much cheaper?!?
I’ve been thinking all day about why they wouldn’t allow the Type S suspension module when it’s already in the class and you’re allowed to change the strut itself. I’m not coming up with anything so it’s probably just Anti Type R.
Got to take the ol’ girl out of winter hibernation last weekend. Took a trip to NC to visit some family. I decided for the ride down I’d try to see what kind of gas mileage I could get. Comfort mode, cruise control on, driving the speed limit in the right lane. Missed getting a pic of the peak...
I sent the letter about the module. Kinda surprised it’s not being allowed if the shocks can be changed and it’s on a car in the same class. Oh well.
Check OG Racing. They usually have everything in stock. https://www.ogracing.com/products/simpson-fia-hybrid-head-and-neck-restraint?_pos=1&_psq=Hybrid&_ss=e&_v=1.0&variant=31776558415938
I'd pay double what I sold my '91 for to have it back now. A teal '93 Gs-R popped up on Facebook market place the other day that had me wanting to rob a bank to go buy it.
Road America has never interested me for that exact reason. VIR certainly has it's areas for HP to shine but none of the turns connecting them are easy to master. It takes a lot of laps to get things clicking right. The upper esses don't look like much in video but they are tricky and also...
VIR is what made me get rid of my turbo Integra for a Miata. Speeds were high enough the entire car started shaking from having the windows down. I started to price out caging the Integra and it just made sense to transition into a Miata for some spec racing.
You make a good point. If you're looking to improve it's probably a lot easier to do it in a low HP car. I'm just looking to have fun and the Civic is way more fun than the Miata for me.
Yea it's a mess but a good time if you don't have to focus on anything. Last year a random dude got lost and passed out in my camper haha. Found him later in the weekend to give him his boots back because he walked home barefoot lol.
I don't think I'd enjoy it if I were driving. I've gone the last couple of years and had a blast but none of us bring cars. It's our annual boys weekend trip now. We just go down to party and have a good time.
Miatas are great race cars when everybody else is in one also. Terrible track day cars. Sucks to feel like you're really getting everything out of it just to have gramps in his corvette blow by you on the straights then idle through the corners.
I have a set of their flow formed wheels. They’ve been good for me. Balanced well. They have my track tires on them so not a lot of miles but no issues and the price was good.
I bought this oil cooler on the Group Buy through Unity Performance but never installed it. Haven't been able to track the Civic as much as I wanted so just gonna sell the cooler. Just looking to get back what I paid for it. $625 shipped or $600 picked up in Northern Virginia. Price is firm.
