You really need to update the thread title. You've got some good K-swap info in here that I missed because I wasn't following this. Looking forward to more shakedown runs!
This car has taken a turn in a direction i never expected since I started this thread
Worked a little towards getting the car ready for a cage. Got the old seats out and the roll bar is mostly unbolted. Put the new OMP in just to see it there; not bolted down yet.
Slicks on the bike course. 2:05 and was finally comfortable and starting to push. This was the very last lap of the weekend. I was excited because I beat my friends fastest lap from his race in ST4.
Made some progress towards being ready for the cage.
Gutted the driver door and made some window clips. Need to go back and cut the window track still.
Got the seat mounted in. Ended up picking up some Jerfspeed mounts. I went to reuse my old mounts, but every hole was just slightly off and would have taken a lot of work.
One hole was really close to my old one. I put big backing plates on both sides, but might weld up the extra hole later.
Nice. That's my goal as well, but most of the Midwest events are a serious haul for me. Gonna try to do COTA in March though if I can get the car done in time.
I'm all aboard the 2x6 DIY ramps train vs the raceramps.. mostly because I'm a peasant lol
Out of curiosity, what length trailer is that? I'm peaking around the market for one to buy if the price is right this winter.
18ft total deck length. Perfect for the miata, but very small for anything else. I put my 328 wagon on there once, it hung over the back even before I had the toolbox on the trailer.
Managed to snag most of the safety upgrades I need on Black Friday sales. Got a new set of FIA harnesses from OMP, driver containment net, window net, and got a new helmet (Simpson Bandit). Helmet is actually already here and is so much more comfortable than the Zamp I had. I didn't realize how uncomfortable the Zamp was, it just wasn't quite the right shape for my head (too round). I know the Bandit isn't the highest end helmet, but I've always loved that design and it fits my head great!. Had to put it down in the Christmas pile though, it's technically a gift for me.
