I wouldn't get your hopes up. I had the exact same thought when I bought the car....just want to feel "stock sea level". I'm tuned on 91 with JDL EL header/OP/catted&resonated FP, and CSG 70mm...

+44. Current commute is 3.2mi one way. Tried a slightly longer route today, but it ended up taking even less time due to lack of traffic lights. New location means an even shorter drive now. Barely...

Thanks for letting us know about track use being a factor. Aluminum is more than twice average and iron could also be considered high for mileage on the oil, but harder use and maybe also lingering...

Funny, I was thinking an RE11a would be nice to have around still but I guess the newish 200tw tires are so good my memory is warped. Perhaps I'll just plan on sticking with the V601 but run 245s on...

Actually I've been pleasantly surprised at the cost of the replacement parts I've broken/lost. The kicker has been the wait time. Had to wait 10-11 weeks for a front bumper.

Nope. I'd assume it's still an issue until 2023 owners drop their oil pans to prove otherwise.

Ecutek tune now done, and today pulled the oil pan to inspect the pickup as track season is starting soon. 40-45% clogged with RTV. WAY too much RTV was used to seal that pan on. Very glad I did...

If the shop did it right, you likely just need to hit the button by the glovebox. 3 times within a couple seconds, but check the manual as I could be remembering that wrong.

Love that 8.5 size. I'm planning to pick up a set next year to put either 200tw 225s or 235-245 300tw for not-so-serious track/autocross stuff.

Keep the miata. Get a BRZ. Win.

I love NB's. I've had 3. Most recent was a flyin miata development mule. Favorite was a normally aspirated streetable track build. All were 1999s.

I went the the non-nippled fumoto to maximize clearance. It fits fine, but certainly not a ton of extra clearance. Easiest oil change ever.

I really liked the indy 500s for a daily/mild track tire when I tried them on my rx-8. Nice and quiet/comfy on the street and held up to well to track use.
