Hello from Sacramento!
Hello MiataForumz,
I'm new from Sacramento. I'm a college student, and my Miata is my primary hobby. it's an '01 LS with 6-speed and Torsen. I've had the car since February. It's intended to be a prideful daily driver and a weekend autocross/track car. I autocrossed a bunch this season; next season my dad wants to drive too, so I'll be changing the seating pretty soon to get lower (he's 6'4").
I've done a few basic things to the car in the past 10 months - FM V-Maxx coilovers, Hard Core DD rollbar, hardtop, 15x9 TR C3Ms with 225/45 R-S3s, intake/axleback, as well as a slew of minor mods that I won't go into. Here are some pics of the car's journey to today.
First off, this is the car I came from. '99 GT, 17x9/10.5, 275/40 in front and 315/35 in the rear. High grip/power expectations.
The very day I got the Miata
Roll bar-ized a week later
Hardtop and autocross soon after
Coilovers came soon after that screeching, sliding experience
Black metallic housings, polished it up, started going to meets
Some time went by...
TRM 15x6 +36 C3M wheels with 225/45 NT-01s, GarageStar license plate bracket, new numbers, cut rear bumper
More autocross in CSP (treadwear rating prevented me from running STR)
Took some fancy pictures
Revlimiter gauges and vent rings, GarageStar shift extender, Voodoo ****, made a switch panel
Anyways, that's me and my car thus far!
