I'll try to get a thread together, it will not have the spread of years that Gutty held though. Assuming all gets together in time and turns out as planned of course. It'll be a thread after its done and gone to GRM, or done and not within budget

I was there with the festiva team - it was awesome to watch your car get consistently lower and lower times - an 11.8 in a FWD 2k car is pretty impressive. we had traction issues the entire time - as evidenced by our driver being all over the lane.
your car was very well done, congrats on the win. hopefully we'll make it out there net year - i'm building up a beater miata too.

To be honest, it wasn't really addressed. With the honda B series engines, you get an intermediate shaft. Thus your axles are same length and that helps. We also had an LSD in the trans, another plus for fwd.
Not having driven Gutty though, I can't say how much those bits helped.
