he is looking like 3.75-4 and 4.0-4.2 in the last few pictures. the autocross picture is looking a bit more reasonable for performance.

They're at the same height. I'm running at around 11.5" hub-to-fender.

LOL! Nope, definitely not. That's on stock suspension, which is around 13.75" hub-to-fender. While I may be a bit on the low side , the car handles AX a LOT better than it did stock.

The FM NB kit oringinally shipped with springs that were 3cm too short in the rear. This is the max ride height for the shorter springs. I have the replacements, I just need to get around to swapping them.

hehehe, I am sure it does fine. its not unheard of to get on the bumpstops for ridiculously high spring rates! hahaha. Glad to hear you enjoy the AXing though, I want to do a couple more next year.

Hi everyone! So I am new to Sacramento, I just moved up here from orange county and was looking for meets around the south sac area. I was only told about one off of Mack Rd and Franklin, there was a descent amount of people and cars. I got a drink and saw a vape shop. I'm in to vapeing so I walked in and was talking to the owner's. They actually want to start a meet in front of there shop every Saturday. I guess they are also car guys. They said that they will start it at 7:30pm if anyone was interested. It would be cool to meet up with miata people out here.

Uhh... this thread is over two years old. You may have better luck creating a new one.

Saturday is generally a bad choice for a meet night. Not enough turnout; it's the night where people "go out", not go to a meet. Mack Road and Franklin is also ghetto as ----; I used to work there, and I would NOT go to a car meet there at night. XD

We do have some local Sac meets already, if you're interested. The main Roadster meet is every third Wednesday of the month at Shoki Ramen House downtown. All the GarageStar guys usually come out, and a decent amount of local Miata owners.

There's also a ricer meet somewhere in S. Sac/N. Elk Grove, but that's too much stupidness for me.

LOL ghetto huh? Yeah, I am still learning the area's. I will definitely go check out that Wednesday meet! But for now, I'll be at that Saturday meet just because I live down the street from the vape shop. Whats the time and address for that Wednesday meet? When I google it but there's two Shoki Ramen House...
