It's been a while since I've performed a build. After building the turbo Miata and AWD Tracer and competing in the GRM Challenge for five years, it's time to take a different turn, so to speak. I've competed a number of times with my Hong Norr buddies in the 24 Hours of LeMons with a first gen...

There hasn't been much of a general discussion thread regarding this series, so allow me to start one. :) I know several of you have competed and we've run with a few of you (the co-ROLL-a comes to mind specifically :). We've run 3 events so far at CMP in the (shudder) Obamanation CRX. Our...

I'll be there, #180 CSP. Anyone else going? It should be an interesting event, what with concrete and all. The overall showing is looking pretty good thus far. It's hard to believe it's only about 2 weeks away.

#4 rod bearing spun @ 224 miles on the new engine. The rod is wrecked and the head has to come off. The rod nuts didn't exhibit any lack of torque upon removal, so that wasn't the cause. Basically, a complete bottom end rebuild is in order. I'll let the pics speak for themself: 1-4...

After a couple months of plotting and planning, the '01 Engine is finally assembled, installed, and running in the CSP car. I have a few hundred miles of break-in miles to go before I unleash it on the dyno or at an auto-x, but it should be good to go for nationals this year. The engine is...

Hope it's a good one! (birthday)

etc. etc. :)

Can it be done? Why certainly it can. ECU tuning is allowed in ST classes as long as the stock computer case remains unmodified as well as any wire harnesses. Enter the below prototype. I'm probably counting my chickens before they hatch, but what the heck. The adaptor fits inside the stock...

Best of wishes and happy guys! (headbang) Belated 21st to BJ (Saturday). The big 30 for Scott.

For those who run R-comps (or whatever), what are you using for your camber/toe settings on your BG chassis? I need to set a baseline for the Tracer. As far as camber settings go, I can get anywhere from 0 to -3.5* on all corners, so adjustment range isn't an issue. The tires are 225/45/14...

I need a Sunlight Silver front driver's side door for a 3rd Gen Protege. Anyone have one close to Georgia? Thanks!

...but no. During a weekend of pounding on the LeMons racer and bouncing off other cars, it seems the ol' P5 received a respectible amount of damage itself. One of our team mates accidentally backed his truck into the driver's side door of the P5. It's schmanged enough that it constitutes...

Does anyone have one available? It doesn't matter whether it's from the AWD Protege or GTX. I'll even take the forward most mounting flange (and UJ) as the final product will be custom anyway. IOW, even a damged one will work. Thanks!

After spending three years on the Miata and taking third last year, it's time to head in a different direction. Something new and quite different must be built – something other than a car with a turbo slapped on and a paint job. Enter my '91 Mercury Tracer LTS. That's right, a four door...

...I could't pass up the opportunity to add a good ol' 323GTX to mine. She set me back a whopping $200. She's about 90% complete and fairly rough. Though the body is straight and there is only minute rust, though at some point the passenger side was rebuilt with parts from a red car. The...

Did you goobers get on the waiting list for the DoubleX? [/callout]

Would that be anyone here? I didn't get a chance to say hi as I was pretty tied up with this and that. Say hello if you were present. I was the only lameass there with a Miata (pow).

Of the 11 years that I have been driving, I finally banged up my first car today...the company Taurus (aka, The Turtle). Long story [not so] short, near the end of the main road into my office complex, there is a large, downhill right-hand turn. Upon entering this turn, I noticed an Explorer...

How time flies. It's already been over a year since I started my second build/rebuild of the GRM Challenge Miata. It's time to get things rolling for this years build and I'm already way behind. Many of you are already familiar with my previous builds in which I have improved the performance...

I need just the differential carrier from any 1.8L Miata or FC RX7. I already have the diff and pinion housing. Thanks!
