Anyone AutoXing their NC?

As stated before, all you need is a front sway bar from an RX8. Cheap and easy. Don't complicate it with a rear sway that you do not need and that will take you out of the Stock class. Once you leave the Stock class, then you get to start pouring money into the car to make it competitive. We've seen how modifying a car too much works out for you, so leave it as stock as possible.

+1 on just getting a RX8 front bar. It's cheap and easy!

...but jrj512 needs to remember that the majority of Miata drivers out there could care less about SCCA stock class autocrossing. Non-stock class mods won't affect your classing with BMWCCA, S2K and PCA locally. Some people just want to have fun with their cars and that's understandable.

Unless you're really serious about being competitive, just mod the car the way you want to drive it on the street. That's why I went ahead and did springs on the MX-5.

+1 and at around the $50.00 dollar mark it is TCB approved!

i am thinking the mazda speed bar though to keep it warranty safe.

i want to drive it first without it too, just to have a baseline.

I ran last year on my steet 235/40-17 Goodyear F1 GS-D3s, and they're pretty good for a non-R-compound, full-tread-depth tire. I'll bet they'd make an extremely good rain tire.

This year, I'll be on 245/40-17 BFG R1s, mounted on wider (9") Enkei RPF1 wheels.

You have to roll your fenders for those? Did you lower it?

could care less

So, then they care?

I've had the Mazdaspeed (Eibach ProKit) springs and Koni Sport "yellow" shocks since it was brand new. The springs lower it 1.5" and the shocks lower it another .5" so overall it's about 2" lower than stock.

Yes, I've had to do a pretty extensive fender roll - especially in the back. But adding more negative camber helped a lot. The tires stick out slightly when sitting or running straight, and tuck in JUST under the fenders on compression.

Billy Blaze, if you're looking for a deal on a Mazdaspeed MX-5 front bar, I have one - PM me!
