Plans for this weekend....

Ground Controls 400F/450R
New Bushings all around
New Goodridge brake lines

STS here I come.....


Try to find another Integra to move my suspension to so I can stick with the plan of running in STS..... :cry: RIP Integra.....


Just when I thought the car was all ready for STS next year, I had to find one hell of a deal on some 14x7 Panasports wrapped with Hoosiers....there's no telling where I might end up next year now.

I'm thinking a vq45 would be sweet in my engine bay. Is that legal for DSP?

But SM legal too. If Jason doesn't show up to run DSP with me, I have to have somewhere to play.....

They are the R3S05's, 225/50/14's. I know, not the A3S05's, but seems like I have read the compounds aren't so different. Even so, I am paying less then the rims are worth alone. Guy used them last season, 3 heat cycles.

You don't need any help! You are already bringing AWD and power adders - turbo or supercharger.
Play nice and go to BSP :wink:

Hi all,

I have begun a new undertaking. I picked up David Spratte's '93 Miata last week. Plans are to perform a 1.8 conversion using the motor and brakes from Bad Karma. Rather than take the easy way out and run the car with the 1.6 ECU, ignition coils and throttlebody, I'll be replacing the harness in the car also.

Then comes the fun part...a BR Performance supercharger. I'm going with the hotside model with the intent of eventually having their R4 package(max of 280 RWHP). :mrgreen: My initial objective is to achieve a weight to horsepower ratio equivalent to my Trans Am 12:1 (~3600 lb/~300 RWHP). Afterwards I'll start tweaking with 10:1 as a target. I think I can do it and not blow up the stock motor. :thumbsup:

At present, this car is designated for track use. I will still run my '95 Miata in ES. It's fully prepped and it's too much fun seeing how well a 10+ year old car can stack up against the competition! :) I'm going to try to document the project on a web page, so stay tuned.

My bad, but you do have 4 tires powering the car. You have youth too. I think we are going to have a lot of fun!

The magnets won't make you faster!

Thanks. I don't know if everybody knows that I'm not serious most of the time. What 80 lbs is Dan talking about?????
