Hello, my name is Joseph. I've met a few of you at Auto-x and Timetrial events. I figure i'm on here enough checking schedules I may as well join.
About me, I'm currently attending TCU for a BS in Economics, and I really like impractical toyota's.

Also, I feel like I should explain. On the Spyder, I got the window banner after the 5th time in a month the sun visors fell on me while I was driving after the screws rattled out from the poly mounts. The wing came as a result of being annoyingly unstable at the TTT events. After that I just decided to have fun with it and try to cover the rear decklid in decals. Once it's completely covered i'm gonna mount it on the wall and get a carbon one lol.
Anyways. I'll be at the NTAXS event on the 21st, see y'all there.
Welcome aboard.
Welcome, Joseph. The 2nd gen is a beautiful car. The Spyder is... interesting.
BTW, have you looked into SCCA's D Prepared ruleset? I think the Spyder would be competitive there, although I'm not sure if the wing is legal.
See you at NTAXS on the 21st.

Yeah, the Spyder could be competitive in D-Prepared. I would need to replace the wing with one of those nifty spoilers some of the miata's have. I'm considering prepping for it soon. I'll be picking up my 10kg/mm 8kg/mm springs today. Not as stiff as i'd like but at $19/pair I couldn't pass them up (I ordered 4 pairs). So if anyone needs a 60mm diameter 190mm long coilover spring I should have an extra 10/8 stagger unless I decide to run 10k all the way around.
welcome. i have seen you at some of the big irving GTG of the (formly) DFDUBS and now DFW euros car meets.
