Out of the box ride heights for the 949 Racing XIDA coil overs + 863 bushings. Definitely some work to do but a decent starting point.
Will start with reversing the rake, set front camber and then mount the new 'meats' to see if they'll clear. An NA with 245s... we'll see what I can get away with.

Finally installed the bushings into the Miata's control arms. Satisfying pushing them out and pressing them in.
Slow but steady. Might have it done in time to go back into winter storage at this pace!

Anyone tried Vitour tires for autocross?
They seem to be popular locally, sticky but wear well. Being referred to as the 'cheaters of cheaters'. Banned in SCCA I'm told? One of our local drivers did well this last weekend.
They didn't have the size that I wanted and I've changed the entire suspension so didn't want to end up with a different rolling diameter at the same time - too many changes all at once. Otherwise probably would have gone that route.
Supposedly they don't light off quickly - if sharing a car be the second driver. 😜 🙃

My wife had an event at the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre so I combined it with a side quest into Toronto to get a nearly "unobtainium" new windshield for my Toyota MR2 (AW11).
I really gotta stop browsing kijiji for entertainment purposes - money pit of sorts.

#WeirdCarMastodon there’s an introductory performance #DrivingSchool running on Sunday Oct 20th at Salinas Airport that has space for more attendees. It’s very good for new/young drivers and people who haven’t tried #Autocross or #trackday driving before. Lots of fun, people bring their kids for a day out. Run by the local Fiat club, DM me for signup details.

One of the last washes for the #MR2 this season. I've barely driven it this year.
The goto has been the #Miata all summer; between the #MX5 being the #autocross whip and it being "ready to party" at all times the other car has been neglected.
Both cars put a smile on my face so there's really no reason for it. I'll be preferentially pounding on the MR2 with backhill tobogganing the rest of the season me thinks. The colourful descents into deep autumnal valleys with the MX5 are awesome though.

@Mark The thing that is off-putting about an #Audi #A4 is that driving it anywhere above ~6/10ths on public roads and you are being an a-h. High limits
We #autocross 'ed ours for a few years (~2015). Fun at 10/10ths - kind of transitions from AWD to RWD. This was a "nothing special" A4 other than being S-line (seats, wheels, exterior trim) and being a 6 speed manual.
The Audi is a bit nicer place to be for a long road trip or commuting but the #GTI is light years better than a #Honda #CRX. 😜

Fun times today with the Golden Gate #Lotus Club #Autocross at Salinas Airport. In the afternoon fun sessions Eric and I rode together and swapped cars. I learned some better lines in his #Miata and he found out what happens when my #Elise’s K20 VTEC kicks in (he spun :-).

My fun summer car. Lightly modified RX7.....
550+ HP, 2635 lbs full fluidsEVERYTHING was done by myself, except the machining of the block, because I lack the machine. haha. But, all welding, all engine rebuild, all planning for engine tolerances, etc, done by me. I absolutely love learning, and anyone can do whatever they put their mind to.
Not only did I learn more about building a computer to run everything on the car, but I also learned how to tune it. Spark and fuel curves, all the idle parameters and adjustments for throttle in various areas, etc.
Just an overall fun canyon carver. Amazing torsen lsd makes putting that power down sooo smooth in the corners.
Mods:
Megasquirt 3 ECU (built myself, tuned myself)
Summit +2cc domed pistons w/ valve relief
PRC 2.5 5.3L heads @ 58cc (valves: I:2.02",E:1.57")
Dual valve springs, titanium retainers
TSP 228R 112LSA
Bore is 3.81 (.030 over)
Block was decked down 0.004
Eagle H-beam rods
rotating assembly balanced
JTR Longtube headers
X-pipe
Magnaflow something mufflers... haha
LS6 intake manifold
52# injectors
DW 300 fuel pump
dual feed / return fueling
Aeromotive FPR
Light weight flywheel, clutch and pressure plate upgrade, just don't remember what to...
Ford 8.8 IRS with Torsen T2R LSD
3.73 ratio on rear
2006 GTO T56
Stoptech rotors
Hawk HP plus (I think) pads
KYB AGX
