Now, my SO and I have been working in secret for these past weeks, and now we've decided to unveil the car we'll be using in these races.
 Started off with a cheap '91 we got off of Craig's.  Strip the parts. All of them.  And yes, all of them.  Got the front lip refitted and some fixed headlights. When I took them out of the box, she complained and pointed to her own Miata. "It can't have that goofy smile!"  Fine.  Got some used overfenders and such from a old SCCA buddy of mine for 1k.  Put on the suspension bits we paid too much for, and tossed some steelies we had laying around to roll it into the garage for it's engine work.  While it was on steelies, I also noticed: This thing is more monster truck than miata right now.  Our 13B runs great, didn't even have to tune it to get it under regulations. (Forgot to take pics of the engine D:)  By sunrise, we had gotten our windows, mirrows, and side exhaust fitted. It already looked great at this point.  Later that day I had picked up some wheels I had bought earlier, and the gf picked up the GT wing she had bought earlier.  Had to give her to the paint shop for a few days to paint it. After I picked it up, I maxed out the suspension and added some camber dialups the gf researched earlier.  That fitment though.  Took it out to town to get some photos. And yes, that side exhaust does shoot fire.  In this shot you can see a bit of the rear diffuser and you also get an idea of how big this car really is.  Had to save most of the interior to pass the weight specs, but I still got myself a MOMO wheel and twin bucketseats. (That have to poke through the rollcage a bit.)  All in all, I wouldn't have it come out any other way. There's nothing I don't like about this car. |
