I'm shopping for a halo seat for an ITA Miata. Once I find one that will work am I able according to the rules to remove the drivers side quarter/vent window in order to allow egress from the car? Spec Miata has this allowance, does IT? I can't find it in the Improved Touring rule book and I...

I'm having poor internet connections today and can't download the IT rulebook. Can I add 2 tow hooks/tie downs to the subframe of a miata? The car didn't come to me with factory tied owns in the rear and I'm looking for a better way. Any help is appreciated.

It's time to replace the clutch in my ITA Miata and I have a question. I currently have a 4 puck solid disc in the car and while it's fine on track it sucks in the paddock and loading to the trailer. Lots of chatter and abuse to the driveline, etc with the 4puck solid. What are the on track...

What do you take with you to the track in the form of spare parts? At what point do you say my weekend is done and I'll replace that @%#$! part at home.

Does anyone have any photos of ballast attachment from their cars? I've read the GCR and understand the rule, I want to see some visual references. Thanks.

I'm driving a former spec miata in ITA and am looking to make improvements to the exhaust. I've added a racing beat header, which isn't ideal but it was sitting on the shelf in the garage. The car has the Springfield Dyno exhaust which is very popular in the Spec Miata class but it's dang loud...

Like the title asks, what engine oil do you use and why? Until recently I used Mobil 1 10w/30, because it was readily available, and able to hold up well to higher temps found in a racecar. What's your choice?

I have at my disposal a Momo Start seat that was manufactured in 2006 and meets the FIA 8599-1999 standard. It is a bottom mount seat and I'd like to try and fit it into my ITA Miata. Does an FIA seat ever become outdated?

I know Spec Miata folks can remove the quarter window on the driver side to make it easier to crawl out if necessary. Question is, is this allowed for ITA? Looking at a halo seat but I wouldn't be able to get out of the window with it in place. Anyone have the answer?

Making some off season plans for a new engine build with .040 pistons. Mazdaspeed says they don't carry them anymore. All the aftermarket pistons I've looked at online are forged and I don't believe in line with what the rulebook states. A forged piston will likely be lighter than a stock cast...

Does anyone have any data to show benefits of adding aero to a ITA Miata? Namely adding a splitter and removing side mirrors. I am curious if any one has an opinion on aero mods. Thanks

I've got a new clutch for the racecar that "requires" 500 miles of break in. I don't think I raced more than 500 miles this past season (4 road races and 2 time trial events.) So the stupid question is, how does one break in a new clutch in a racecar? It's not like I can drive it back and forth...

I need some education on shock absorbers. Double adjustable, single adjustable, non adjustable, monotube, I've seen cars on just about everything. It has me wondering what is the best route to go. I currently have some wore out Bilsteins on a former Spec Miata/current ITA wanna-be car. I will...

Without revealing any personal or team secrets regarding spring rates, is there any particular range of spring rate that works well with the NA Miatas for ITA competition? I come from a SOLO back ground and what works well for me there may not in ITA. I'm just trying to get a little feedback...

I shopping for a seat for my "new" ITA car and was interested in what seat other Miata drivers have used and work best for the confined area. The current aluminum spec-Miata seat is coming out. Any opinions welcome. Thanks, JohnW8
