I just started thumbing through my latest issue of Grassroots Motorsports when I saw an article on page 20 titled "Coming Soon: Track Night in America". It seems that the SCCA has stumbled on the value of the COMSCC format. Their twist is to offer it from 4:00-8:00 in the evening. I tried ...

Wow! 5 seconds per lap from tire pressure is certainly an impressive change.

How did it effect your lap times?

I ran my Hankook Ventus C51 tires for my 97 Miata cold at 36 and monitored them to run hot at 40 psi. Other people who drove it said it felt loose, but it responded just the way I like it.

I missed it again :( I watch the highlights and start/finish every year and think of how nice it must be to spend the January weekend in Florida instead of the great state of NH. Even with the yellows, this seems like a great event at the perfect time of winter to head for Florida for a week or so. ...

The search has ended. You guys are GREAT! Thanks for all the tips. Les has one that should work.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

I have checked in to the usual sources. The $300 engine guy does not respond and the $1600 is more than I'm willing to pay for a used Miata motor.

My budget for this is about $500 so it may take a while, but one will show up eventually.

There must be a 1.8 liter Miata motor sitting around somewhere just getting in the way. If so, you should get that thing out of your way and replace it with some extra cash. No a lot of extra cash. I'm not looking for the latest in race technology, just a regular 1.8l stock Miata motor. The car it's...

Well...it's a track and people race go-carts there. So...there's that.

That's right, sorry. discountbodyparts.com

They could have the slogan "We'll sell you an arm or a leg and it won't cost you an arm and a leg."

Peter,

for new stuff shipped to you, I have been using discountautobodyparts.com

They have excellent prices for the stuff I've ordered for some BMWs that needed body parts for a variety of fun and exciting reasons.

So you removed the light bulb and the chime?

It's a 1.8l NA

Thanks for the info guys.

Guess it's time to by the manual. I'm glad I didn't put 100 ft/lbs on those bolts.
