Race Car Projects
 

Alright folks, here it is. Have a race car? Are you the quickest? The most nimble? What do you run...autocross, time trials, road racing, drag? Well, I figure why not have a space to showcase our community's race cars (dedicated or no).




**Like the root forum says: Legitimate, non street racing ONLY**
Please keep your 'kills' elsewhere ;)

1992 Mazda Miata - SCCA SOLO STS2
 

Alright, might as well get this started:
Everyone, meet Dory. She's a 'Brilliant Black' 1992 Mazda Miata. I bought the car in November 06 specifically to build up for SCCA SOLO STS2 competition.
So far she's brought me a few local wins, and has been an absolute blast to run both on track, and as a 'weekend' car on the street (with the occasional *short* commute thrown in for good measure).

Mods
============
Suspension - Where the majority of the STS2 allowances lie.
Koni Race (f) / Koni Yellow (r) shocks
Groud Control 550# (f) / 375# (r) springs / coilover sleeves
Racing Beat 1 1/8" front sway bar
No rear sway bar
Racing Beat front end links
Relatively agressive alignment: 2* (f) / 2.5* (r) camber with just a hair of toe out front, zero toe rear.

Engine - Not much you can do here
Advanced timing to 14* - premium fuel ftl
Cheapo racing-beat knockoff intake w/ K&N filter
Custom (6 lbs) cat back using Supertrapp muffler dumping under the car, just behind the driver

We fixed a timing problem when changing my water pump. It dynoed at a measly 86 WHP before that. It feels a good deal stronger now. I'm getting it dynoed within the next month or so to see if there actually were any gains.

Other
ATS Complite 15x7 Wheels (13.5 lbs ea.)
Hankook Ventus Z212 (225/45-15) - good tires, decently sticky, but definitely not an RE-01R.
Corbeau Forza seats
Kirk Racing roll bar
G-force 5 point harness (with only 4 points installed so far lol).

Well, this thread went pretty far. Only 2?! No one else!?

My car is not a race car, it's a track-prepped daily driver that I drive all over horrendous city streets :)

I take my FD to the track a few times a year. No racing though, just for fun. :)

Natey, your RX-7 looks like it has eyelashes. She's so pretty!! :D

I've got a fully prepped FC chasis...just no powertrain. I'm trying to talk the wife into letting me buy a RX8 and swap everything over but she seems to think thats a bad idea.

What no Porsche racing?

I don't think my car will ever be a racer - I couldn't afford to damage my daily driver.

lol, the tabs that hold my headlight covers on are broken and if I go over 100mph or so, they begin to shake, like they're gonna fly off. That's why they're taped down.

AutoX - atlanta Region - DSP class for now - '03 MSP - lightly salted.

Future:
92 DX - autox - BONE stock ;)

Edited the picture: (to show best part on car)
