I co-drove autox nationals in an CS ND2 last year, first time I had driven one in real anger, and caught on relatively quick. I've found the 86s and Miatas to have quick learning curves. The reason I...

Made the 8 hour trek to Moultrie, GA for the SCCA Solo National Tour. Day 1 I would define as steady. Not a bad run, but left a fair bit of time on the table, and thus dug a 6 tenths hole on day...

This is why they totaled the car. Yeah, it could be $5k to fix, but it could also turn into $30k to get totally right, and they likely wouldn't know until they got into it. The $15-20k the insurance...

Looking at your pictures/parts list. XA is going to be the best place for you. The uncatted header and aero bits will take you out of STX. XA was made as a catch-all for those who have built a street...

Extended studs aren't needed for either of those situations. The only thought I'd have is that the stock studs aren't known for being great, so a higher quality stud wouldn't be a terrible idea if...

Got mine scheduled for 2/6. They could have done sooner, but my schedule didn't line up, so will have to wait a few weeks. Will be nice to have the hyper-flash fixed.

A major reason I leased mine is that I have a bad habit of trading cars in after 1.5 - 2 years. A 3 year lease makes it a little harder to trade in on a whim. The money factor at 2% was favorable to...

First event in the STX car. It did well, didn't do anything weird and think I was 3rd of 90ish. A well driven kart and Camaro are hard to compete with on a power favored course.

The second gen has a similar response, you need 2-3 gallons for it to register anything. Haven't tried it yet in the first gen, but sounds like they probably use the same programing.
