Thanks.
Awesome engines, they handle well, they're reliable, and affordable. I'd love to race a EG Civic. After tracking RWD cars all the time, I really want to drive a FWD Civic again...it's like driving a sledgehammer with the way you use the throttle.
Someone who probably doesn't want me throwing his name around made a fiberglass hood with a Carbon-trix vent molded in. I think there are two of them, hopefully nothing ever happens to it or he's going to have me on his hands.
every *** in my town has a primer back honda civic/accord/or integra with cai/header/cat delete/ fart can, and they call them fast or quick. so it just leaves a real bad taste in my mouth. plus i drove a civic and it was way to weird in the handling department, and slow as ----. i make it a point to embarrass the **** in town with whatever im in, my ranger outruns most of these cars. only lost to a gsr integra, and the miata put a butt hurt on him. so its not really the cars or the company, its the people kinda like cr.

Correction...
If I won a million dollars I would build and daily drive a '68 road runner with a Daytona wing. It would be powered with a 24 valve cummins turbo diesel and have a 6 speed manual trans. Painted gunmetal gray with a gloss black wing most likely.

So many ideas
Miata with a v6 boat motor.
Miata with a busa motor in the rear
Tube chassis Miata dervied race car
500+tq
atleast 345 wide tires all corners.
Rotary Valve Head development
Savings as well and another garage.

I got beat once in my old b5 s4 by a tricked out sleeper crx. Beware, they can be sneaky. Wife made me end the run at 110. I had just began pulling on him. I don't condone street racing, btw. I was temporarily insane.

doesn't sound like you have recovered, you still hit 110 on track don't you?

It's not as easy with the miata, but I saw 110 at Mid Ohio this year. That S4 was great, younger and dumber I took it up to 155 twice. What a scary stupid rush. Pulled all the way to the limiter. Ive actually been faster in the S4 then most planes I have flown.

lol, ridiculous. I barely hit 117mph at the end of the RA back straight. I think now, on the VIR front straight I might be able to get about 115mph or so.

I would also start a production run of Honda K series swaps for Miatas that bolt in and work with all the factory gauges with a Honda ECU. How sick would that be to have a '99 Miata with like 300whp NA tuned on the factory ECU? Emissions passing, starts like stock, no boost required for an easy 200whp, lighter than a Miata engine, the list goes on. It would make people think twice about doing LS v8 swaps, I'm sure of it.
