Really? Another Miata thread....

[rherold9]

I'll type a full write up later with pictures of what I've done the last few weeks, but in short:

• Blackbird Fabworx RZ Roll Bar
  
• Sparco Ergo Driver's Seat 
  
• Sparco Sprint Passenger's Seat (Surprisingly comfortable for the price)
  
• PCI Brackets/Side Mounts - Allows to retain factory 3 points
  
• Stoptech Sport Brake Pads
  
• Stoptech Stainless Lines
  
• ATE DOT4 Fluid (Motive Power Bleeder is love, Motive Power Bleeder is life)
  
• New rear rotors because a large amount of rust on old ones
  
• Works Bell Hub + NRG 3.0 Quick Release + MOMO Mod 78 Wheel
  
• Moddiction Blue Wide Angle Mirrors
  
• Sliced my finger down into the fat tissue requiring stitches
  

On It's Way:

• 3" shift extender
  
• 3" Tomei Duracon Knob (~same size as stock)
  
• DG Motorsports Hard Top
  
• Racequip 6-point hans style harness
  

Need to Buy:

• Super JDM tow hooks yo from Carbon Miata
  
• Roll Bar Padding
  

Need to do before track/eventual list:

• Install passenger Racequip 6 point harness I have
  
• Inspect shifter turret/add oil to it
  
• Oil change
  
• Inspect nuts/bolts
  
• Probably some other things I'm forgetting
  

Future thoughts:

• Android Headunit - mostly for the Torque app to monitor temps. Not sure all the parameters I can monitor but basically just going to set it to flash red at me for high temps is all, will look into this more.
  
• Cooling mods as necessary
  
• ST5/ST6 racing vs. Flyin' Miata supercharged still street-able DE/TT car vs. probably not making up my mind and doing what I want
  

I think I'm going to end up running a DR Track Attack in Feb as a test-n-tune on the 205 all season tires to break the car in, feel how the car reacts, learn the car, get used to being back on a track, etc. Looking forward to getting back out on track this season!

Huge shoutout to Justin for the help on my car with the roll bar, brakes, etc.

Edit: Forgot to mention how immediately noticeable the roll bar made the rear end feel stiffer. Roll bar plus the seats make the car feel like it's on rails now... I cannot wait to see how the grip is with 245 RE-71R's are on track
