Hence the budget build, house, 2010 Genesis coupe, 2 kids, wife...I'm stretched thin.
Got my sweet Schroth harness in, there $300 plus new, I got this one for $46 shipped and about an hour scrubing they look brand new.

he bought the "rally sport" model. i think that's what it was called. it's the same price as the spec miata, but looks nicer i think. i searched the entire internet for the best price on a spec miata seat, and nobody beats sps solotime. that's where jake bought this one. in some cases it's almost $100 cheaper than another website.

Do it. Pass that cheap ricer garbage onto some dumb schmuck who wouldn't know the difference between blown stock shocks on cut springs and his *** hole.
I'd be willing to bet that people who buy Rincelands and think they'll "ride good: are also the same peckerheads who would sucker for the eBay power-adding fuel-saving "chips" for only $69.95

I would love to send them to Shaikh but his pricing is on the tip of the steep side. I can have Bilstein revalve them for 300 or there are many spec miata shops that will do it for somewhere around 200. I will probably run his bumpstops ans ICS top hats. It will be something like RB tubular, bilsteins, awr collars, qa1 springs 700/450, isc top hats, fatcat bumpstops...still playing with the FCM calculator.

I like. I am going to be running a 550/350, so the roll couple will be almost identical. I have an RB tubular 1 1/8" on it's way. This is a brilliant build. I assume no turbo? No biggie, your reliability will be 100% with this setup. You will be sipping virgin maries between sessions, and can let your harem feed you figs.
I think for the future, this with either high cr, or just a header and MS, tuned up like an ITA Miata. MMMMmmoneyy.

I'm going back and forth between a budget diy wrx turbo kit build or something like what the OGK car has...idk? Honestly the more I think about it the more a NA setup sounds fun. If I get it to 140-50ish wheel and decide I'm not happy I can always add an old JR supercharger plus meth for a g...to many options

Forgetting all about the hysteria (not to say it's unfounded), but I think that something like OGK, Keith Tanner's Targa, a high-comp prod-like beast, or even JUST A STOCK HEALTHY MOTOR WITH HEADER, ECU, INTAKE, LIGHT FLYWHEEL AND SOME HEAVIER VALVE SPRINGS sounds like a really fun package (think ITA Miata). Especially if you can add in a fuckingawesome suspension setup, a good sized tire, and maybe tinker with a little aero. For a track-only car and a great driver with some commitment, you could be at or near SM track records. For a car like mine, which I want to drive on the street, autocross, and do track days, the fun of the turbo is very hard to beat.

Also bought a hardtop shell for 400 which will get lexan rear window and spec miata hard mounts. Also picked up these with some buddies so we can all scale/cross/corner balance the cars.
