I would like some opinions about which tires I should use for my double racing school at Summit Point next week. I have a set of unshaved r888's with 4 heat cycles and a set of shaved (4/32) ra1's with about 6 heat cycles. I figured, I would wear out whichever set I use in the school. So...

I'm building my own roll cage for my miata and need to know the rules to nascar bars. What is the minimum height for the top nascar bar? Also, how much of an angel, from back to front can I mount my top nascar bar, to make it earier to enter and exit?

Hey all. I am working on fitting my seat in my ITA miata and have been running into some issues. Has anyone crammed a 14" Evo 2 into a miata? If so, please tell me how. I either run into a height problem, or I can't close the door because its too wide. HELP

I could really use some help on which Kill Switch to buy. I'm building an ITA Miata and am not sure if I need a "Single Pole" or Multi-Pole" Switch. Can someone please enlighten me as to what the differences are and which one I need to purchase? Is more "Poles" better or just more confusion...

I am just wondering what gears you Miata drivers have tried and tend to lean towards. I'm in the Washington DC region. Anyone try 4:77 gears at Summit Point?

I am not a mechanic and at the risk of sounding stupid, I'm going to go ahead and ask this question anyway. Is there any way to convert my open differential to a the limited-slip without having to buy a completely new diff? I have a 96 Miata which will hopefully be complete for the 2012 season...

Hey all, I could really use some advice on how to drop a good amount of weight in my miata. I know, the first thing I need to do, is trim off about 50Lbs from my body, but beyond that, I could really use some advice. I have already gutted, removed AC, removed driver and passenger windows and...

I'm building a Miata ITA car and have been so confused with the whole power/de-powered steering rack talk. :shrug: It seems that all the forums are saying that it is not legal to de-power a power steering rack. I keep reading the GCR and can not find where it says anything about steering racks...

I am currently building an ITA Miata and am in search of a good seat. I would prefer one with side mount rails because the car may be hot seated at HPDE events. I want something SAFE and comfortable. Also, I need a slightly wider seat, seeing how I am not the skinniest Miata driver out there...
