"Honey Badger" Miata: Turbo Track Build (new brakes installed) - Page 43 - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

disturbedfan121 · 12-14-2008, 09:57 PM

i can name 8 people that are local to me that all run nt-o1's for auto-x only. they'll swear by em, out of those 8, 3 consistantly take FTD in local bimmer, and porsche events. and of those 3 one has only consistantly taken FTD prior to nitto's.

now granted the driver is what really makes the difference, but still when a person goes from winning, once and a while, to 4/5 times and the only thing that changed on the car itself was the tire, you gotta think that it helped right?

Now i'm not here to argue about tires. and personally, i dont even have the nitto's cause well, i can't afford em every 2 months. was just saying they are really good tires lol

hell i dont even auto-x cause i work weekends, but i digress.

as for the wheel weights, idk what i was thinking when i typed that lol it was 1am and i was tired lol--------and "hustler" is always good for a laugh

on CR.net I haven't found anything really useful to be honest( in the tech/diy department)
And M.net is way over censored, and mainly for the whine and cheese crowd (not saying they aren't good people, i've met/hung out with alot of em)

I personally find my local site, and MT.net to be the most helpful on a miata subject., just my opinion.

^^You are an ass

What I may do this week is pick up some black and silver ceramic spray paint from pep boys. There are a few pieces under the hood that I may want to paint just to keep them nice and fresh like the radiator brackets as well as maybe the heatshield and other bits.

Polished heat sheild?

CleanNeon98 · 12-15-2008, 04:08 AM

Polished is too much upkeep for me. I may disassemble the intake over the break, as well as the strut bar and paint them all a maching color, I'm really not feeling the look of having a silver strut bar, chrome intake and piping, etc.

Zillon · 12-15-2008, 05:18 AM

Polish the shield and clearcoat it.

CleanNeon98 · 12-15-2008, 05:21 AM

I don't like polish

Get it powdercoated.

CleanNeon98 · 12-15-2008, 05:38 AM

But I can just hi-temp paint it with less downtime and cost.

Zillon · 12-15-2008, 05:49 AM

Christ, do you sleep?

CleanNeon98 · 12-15-2008, 05:52 AM

Clearly not haha

Zillon · 12-24-2008, 01:05 AM

Alex, don't do bronze. I don't like it.

DPancoast · 12-24-2008, 12:55 PM

make sure it's the right high temp paint if you do that route at all....... some of them just disappear after like 3 days lol.

disturbedfan121 · 12-25-2008, 04:17 PM

lol you need to step up your game playa lol

CleanNeon98 · 12-27-2008, 12:37 PM

I'm not out to build a drag car, I don't care much for straight line.

Got my HPS pads in, should be installing next week

Because speeding on back roads adds inches to your dick
