Mod list is listed above in my sig. You probably didn't notice it 'cause it's so puny. I dunno, probably about 280hp or so, based on everything I read from the forum here. Just a dp, KandN, and RB cold air intake so I'm guessing around 25hp extra. The only mod I plan to add for now performance wise is I'd like to get a RB dual tip catback. A buddy has one and said he got a pretty good boost in hp AND his underhood temps went WAY down, due to it flowing so much better.

That's about it; call me silly but this car has enough hp for me right now. One thing you learn at the track is that driving smooth and fast through turns beats the hell out of hp anyday. I learn this everytime as the spec miatas, that can only top out at about 105mph, whup my *** routinely. They also go through turns at 90 that I can only hit at 75. Road racing can be quite humbling.

Another example is the Lotus Elise behind me in the one pic. 180hp and killed me on the track.

It's such a friggin blast anyway!!!!

 

sounds like such a blast, I can't WAIT to do it!

 

Man, I gotta get back there to Braselton GA. My last time @ Road Atlanta was with Peachtree BMW CCA March 2000. The Bridge turn took a few laps to get used to before I stopped wetting my "Underoos"

 

I spy a stock radiator. Honestly I would change it out before it blows. Mine cracked and leaked slowly so I had to fill it up every 2 days or so and I was worried that I was going to over heat my motor. Just a little advice. Sweet pic BTW.

 

You spy correctly. Matter of fact, if you looked under the hood you'd spy a whole lotta stock stuff. Right now I don't lose a drop of coolant, and I put the SPA gauge in to digitally monitor the temps, and have it programmed to flash a warning light when temps hit 200. On the track the car runs around 170-175 when it's cold out, and about 190 or so when it's hot. So for now, it's all good. I keep a close eye on it though; at the first sign of a leak out she goes.

Thanks for the heads up though; I just have to monitor my car expenditures or my wife will change the locks.

TT, since you live so close maybe I'll see you out there next time; seems like there's quite a few FD's in the area, but I was the only one there on Jan 11-12. Maybe the 22 degree outside temp kept everyone away.

C-ya.

 

Btw, good one SleepR1..........underoos.........lol.......



I'm 45, so for me it's more the "Depends" soiling...........

That bridge turn if definitely a ****.............fun, fun, fun..............
