Rental for the double regional at TMS

[MadMerv]

Help! I'm looking for a cheap rental so I can maintain my license for another year. I don't care if it's a last place car, as long as it is safe and will finish two races. I have tires.

Is channelmaniac's car done yet? He got the roll cage in over the winter, so it may be track ready by now. It wouldn't hurt to give him a call and see if you can work something out.

Good idea! Will PM.

Merv, you seriously need to have a race car with all the miatas you have. I would help, but I do not have a cheap car - they both have pro motors - if Garland ever finishes the backup/rental car!

I just don't have time, but I will.......

It's not done yet.

With my crazy work schedule (24 flight segments, 29,000 airline miles) since the first of the year I haven't had time to touch it.

I need to:

• Buy & install the suspension kit
• Install & wire the kill switch
• Paint the roll cage
• Install passenger seat mount/seat (for an instructor ride along)
• Roll the cut edges on the inside of the drivers door
• Clean & paint the inside
• Body work (install new finish panel, fill in all the hail dents, and paint)
• Work on the brakes (lube slider pins, flush system)
• Weld up the holes on the rear deck panel, paint it, and install it
• Clean the trunk of rust & paint it
• Get my logbook for the car!

I know some of that doesn't have to be done to get the car on the track, but some of it does... and some of it has to be finished so I can go back & get my logbook for the car. Plus I'm sure I'm missing a few things that need to be done.

One day I need to get the VLSD too.

Hey, while both of you smart guys are reading the thread - are there any upgrades that I can do to the 90 model? Like driveline or brakes from a 1.8? I'm not sure what is & isn't legal.

I already replied to your PM, before reading this, so to answer your questions:
You can't add 1.8 brakes. You can add the sub-frame braces, front and rear. You can now use a late model diff, but you must maintain the 4.30:1 gears.

If you are still looking for a spec miata rental I saw on the scca texas region forum that TMG has some email [email protected]
