I get what you're saying, in my mind the move from JRZ to Xida would (hopefully) be lateral financially, a bit less weight, less to deal with being a 1 way, and a benefit in terms of the experience 949/SuperMiata brings to the table.
The car for sure wouldn't be competitive nationally, but I think I'd be able to run free or at least subsidized tires regionally, which is about as much as I can ask for.
I really think you went the right way with your plan, it'll be a multi class / organization weapon. I probably should have considered the LS route, haha. |
Dang, I'm tempted to subscribe to them as I really want to read that article!
I agree, Xida's are good stuff and have great development behind them, if they had a double adjustable I would buy some. I think the car could be very competitive if you go through the full gambit of changes for 5.
Your K swap is an excellent choice for power, I might have gone that direction if the balance shaft issues were sorted, mix matching them or removing never goes well for the secondary harmonics in a inline 4. I deleted the balance shafts on the 2.4L ecotec I put in the miata and it vibrated so bad it broke electronic throttle bodies, cracked manifolds, caused crank trigger pick up issues and cam pick up issues. I chased that for a long time, finally started to get it all under control towards the end but I will never deal with that again. Cost me several races
If it feels like the right direction for you then do it to it! I look forward to see what you choose!
