first race in the miata

[vabeach_03]

I know i know its not an elantra. (well if you watch the vid it is) but its still autocrossing. this whole event sucked. i wasn't used to having a RWD car and its a lot different from my old elantra. but here is the vid

Nice, I like how you get video, I didn't take a camera to my last Solo2 and now there's no pics of it, cause no one posted any of the event, oh well. So, uh, do you like the Miata better than the Elantra for AutoX? :) One thing you definitely need is a rollbar, convertibles and rollbars go good together, just like the way your vertebrae work right now.

i need to get a rollbar. i think that when i get the miata to be the way i want it i will like it better. just not used to it at all. there is a test and tune auto-x end of the month that should help out a lot.

That's awesome... looks like a blast.

I'm guessing you're going to enjoy the car as it is for awhile... but have you looked at this?

Looks like a really nice supercharger kit.

I know this post has been dead for awhile but I wanted to add my 2 cents. My dad has a 93 Miata red with tan interior. He asked me to drive his car for him once at an autocross. Man is the miata a blast. Now that the Mazdaspeed super overpriced Miata is out I want one just for autocross. Yeah my Elantra is fun, sliding around on three wheels and all. But the Miata set up correctly can do circles around anything at the track. Its only challenger being the corvette.
