Time to change your sig! Congrats!
I'm now officially a miata owner!
Picked up the Titanium/Cloth Mazdaspeed tonight from Freeman in Irving :)
Man, what a cool toy.. It's now 12:30 and I've been just driving from point to point all night to show off :)

Congrats! :P Post up some pics when you get a chance!Originally Posted by rx7gslse
will do..
I gotta take it back today to get it detailed and stuff... I rolled out of there just before they closed last night, so I didn't get a chance to do that..
I'll get that done and take some pretty pictures either tonight, or tomorrow....

You going to bring it out to play at Pennington on the 18th?
Yes, please do!!! Even if you decide not to participate in the "standing around all day so I can take three 30second runs" fun , we'd all like to take a closer look at your new toy.Originally Posted by sammm
BTW, if I was to get an MSMX5, mine would be a Titanium with cloth interior too (goooooooood choice!). Man, some red Sparco Roadsters would look very sharp in that cockpit!

are the sparcos any thinner? The cockpit on these NB's is awfully tight
And yeah, I think I can arrage to make it out to Pennington... 18th? That leaves me 10 days to get a few good miles on it and an oil change...
What do you guys think as far as a conservative break in? Right now I'm telling myself no full throttle and under 5000rpm for teh 1st 500 miles. Change the oil to full synthetic and then start increasing the revs...
Need to get some Numbers for this too... Wonder what class I'll run in? Think it's safe to claim BS 42?

The Sparco Roadsters are thinner and lower... but they don't recline. Gary S. has them on his car (click here), and the look and feel great -- a lot more lateral support for... ah,er,um... spirited driving.Originally Posted by rx7gslse
I'm sure you'd be in BS, although I'm not sure there has been an "official ruling" by the SCCA (someone please provide a link if I'm wrong). There aren't that many cars running in BS, so 42 is probably available. Of course, you are going to be up against Mr. Lee in his well-driven S2000...Originally Posted by rx7gslse

well the bolsters on these seats are more substantial than any otehr miata seat I've sat in... Good thing I'm a skinny guy :)
I'll investigate, but that might be a bit down on the list...
I'm not as worried about the 42.. I've already got those. I'm pretty sure either 2, 4 , 24 or 42 will be available... Just want to make sure I get the right letters..
No clue if I'll be compeditive, might take me awhile to get used to shifting so much, but I'll sure have a blast in the process..

He did pretty good but the POS was able to get around him a couple of times. Which did a lot for my ego! :afro:Originally Posted by rx7gslse
I could get the POS around corners quicker that him. But on the straight-aways he would leave me sucking his exhaust!
He drove one handed the whole time. I got a ride in it for a session. Seemed pretty quick in the straights, not quite as fast as mine.
The suspension definatly rocked though.

POS=AzenisOriginally Posted by rx7gslse
I'm pretty sure that was the tire of choice at MSR yesterday!
hmm.. any clue how far behind the Azenis the Toyo T1-S is? :)
They are awfully sticky for a street tire, but I'm used to V700s for tracks time & such...
Hmm... what to autoX on..
Spent most of the day cruising around... almost 300 miles and counting.. Heading to Dallas tonight, shoudl be good for some more

Azenis, 28PSI and 26PSI respectively.
One guy from Austin had a set of Neovas on his FM2, they're supposed to be even better than Azenis.

I had azenis as well. They seemed to stick fairly well, maybe a little greasy after 8 laps or so...
Mine got kinda greasy almost 3/4 of the way through, depending on how much traffic I would get.
I let em warm up through the entire first lap.
