Some pics from our big local autocross. Had video issues on Sunday, but Saturday I got video. I finished 4th on Saturday and 8th on Sunday, good for 8th overall.

Found a cheap Scorpion catback on eBay, they're normally $1k+ and this was $375 due to a vendor clearing out stock. I wanted polished tips but the seller sent one with black tips. Meh, I was planning on swapping the tips anyway. Saved almost no weight over the STI muffler but it sounds amazing and fitment was spot on.

Had a great event with Philly SCCA last weekend and a fast friend drove with me. We had a good battle but I got the W. I finished 5th in PAX as well!
My fastest run: Trevor's fastest run: Some pics: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() and Amy got to drive Trevor's car, a full prep STR ND Miata! She really enjoyed it, like a smaller version of her RX-8 ![]() ![]() and an outside video I shot of Trevor:

Final Philly SCCA event of the year! I had a decent shot at moving up in points and I managed to do it with a solid 2nd in PAX! I finished 3rd overall for the year, pretty happy with that after a few really tight events where I came out on the wrong side of results by a tenth or two.
Here's my fastest run, even turned on the wipers as I reached for third gear, haha. I had a special guest, a long time STS Miata driver and good friend, Rich DiMarco, codrive with me. His first run was hilarious since the steering is a LOT more responsive than a 1990 Miata! Here's his fastest run:

Final two events of the year the past two weekends, with NNJR SCCA at MetLife stadium. I took top raw time (fastest overall!) and 5th in PAX both weekends. Big car changes between both weekends and HUGE car changes since the last Philly event, setup philosophy wise. I'm making great progress with the new style valving and the way it's made the car a lot more stable. I've had to loosen the car up a lot steady state, including reinstalling the rear swaybar.
On the 9th I had a friend, Nick Babin, codrive. He recently sold his ND Miata and picked up an RX-8 to copy Amy's build and then go wild from there with aero and such. He needed a ride as he hasn't autocrossed regularly in years. My car is faster than everything he's ever driven at autocross and the course was wildly busy so it took him longer than he'd have liked to get up to speed and never put together a solid run. Nick's fastest: My fastest run: Realigned the car during the week, tweaking things a bit ![]() ![]() Then on the 16th I hit up the final event of the year. Mark Labbancz, an NNJR autocross chair who also recently sold his ND Miata needed a codrive. Funny how that works out, haha. He ended up getting pretty close to me on pace, but neither of us put together a run we were really all that happy with. Mark's fastest: My fastest: and some pics from the past two weekends: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
