fenders are from alibaba. it is cheaper!

That’s my brother-in-law’s CRX with a turbocharged B20 engine, and it’s insanely fast on the track with an unbeatable power-to-weight ratio. Sometimes I wonder if I should get the same car to reduce my consumable costs.

Get a used Miata. Cheap consumables and fun to drive (also the butt of jokes at every track day drivers meeting).

After totaling my S2000, I vowed never to buy another RWD car. From now on, I'll stick with FWD and AWD. Even though my Tesla is AWD, it’s RWD-biased. Roadsters are great until you try to use them for dual purposes. The main reason I bought the Type R is to track it while still being able to take 2-5 hour trips on holidays or weekends. My 2nd choice was the brand M2 and the Supra.

Maybe in the future, I’ll get a CRX. My brother-in-law has two, so I’m sure I can convince him to sell me the second one with a B18 in it.

I hear you. I retired my S2000 to C&C and to the dentist duties. I’m using the FL5 for track days because it takes a lot to trash a FWD car. But my comment was based on your comment about cheap consumables. A used Miata is cheaper to start with and you would get the same “momentum” driving as the CRX.

Just looking at those Bride seats makes me feel fat Great build thread!

Went to Streets of Willow yesterday, where the highest temp reached 102°F. Thankfully, I didn’t notice any signs of overheating from the car. However, I keep an eye on the temps and slow down once it exceeds 250°F. I feel a noticeable loss in power between 220°F and 240°F. The vents seem to have made a big difference compared to my last visit, where I was overheating by the second or third lap. This time, I managed to run 7-8 laps. Around the 5th lap, though, my tires felt shot, and I was sliding quite a bit. The RV6 rear sway bar and Spoon front stiff plate seem to help a lot—I can brake late and swing the car confidently. Surprisingly, the rear isn’t oversteering, just enough slide to assist my novice skills. I’ll be installing a second oil cooler soon, hopefully by next weekend. Here are some pics:
