@Keith Jones: I think the main concern RE weight is all the piping behind the dash. I don't think they'd be very important for structural integrity but again I really don't know so it's all useless speculation without any research to back it LOL I do quite like the shedding you've done in that photo...

Been a while since posting! had a little down time recently due to a couple of issues, the most entertaining being somersaulting my motorbike on scenic drive earlier this year! So now, 6 months on the car is more or less ready to go, but due to wanting to keep the vehicle street legal I need to sour...

Getting Ray Chubb to install the cage, so far its coming along very nicely! there was a little delay as we were using my car as a template for a few other racecars we were building.. but all done and finally lokis time to shine! yea he wont look like much the first few months while I get the thing h...

Hey Papamoeziz: Yea I certainly will do! i'm aiming for the car to be mechanically ready by december. that way I have a few months to get some much needed practice for AJCS next year (time to up the power too) He wont look like much for a while, but will certainly love to meet as many miata racers a...

Yea, its getting a fullcage installed thankfully :) after some more investigation, I think it's safe to say that the shocks in the car are somewhat buggered, so gotta start saving up for some coilovers. What are everyones opinion on some competitive shocks? Bear in mind that this car will only be dr...

Proposed the race life to little Loki this morning...


OHH too exciting!

Plus the car has to be supposedly purchased for under 2K. You are allowed to change the brake fluid, and brake pads, but not the calipers unless it was the same chassis type. If NB 1.8 calipers, then not sure, might get away with it, as I seem to remember that you were allowed to run the 15" wheels...

The first question you need to ask yourself before getting stuck into modding your car is "what class am I going to race in?", as different classes allow/restrict different things, eg. 2kCup is much more restrictive than Classic Japanese. Heya, I had looked at the 2k cup but dont really think i'd b...

Hi Loki Welcome, I don't race but I'm sure the team will give you all the help you may need (plus some extra) Best to ask questions, and as you say, heaps of support, so Google is your best friend, just get your hum into gear. Your human is going to be busy reading :) (he may even be able to find s...

HHHHNNNNGGGGGG OK, so first let me apologize in advance. I have NO idea where one is meant to post "intro" threads, and I intend to keep it semi-updated... Kinda like a build thread! OK no, definitely like a build thread e.e So anyway, myself and a mate decided we both wanted to get into motorsport,...
