What have you done to your Miata today?

Yep! Lack of grip!

Nope. Should I? The door bars from the cage will intrude pretty heavily into the door's air-space. I painted the inside of the door, but I doubt I'm going to do anything else.

Was wondering if you were worried about cutting yourself on the door frame?
 
Picked up a set of four wheels on my way to my parents in Ohio... Didn't even remove the seat ;)


Three in the car...

Got mine out of storage and swapped out the winter storage tires for the summer tires.

nice, it was 60 here today....i'm so tempted but the roads here are riddled with pot holes and i love my new rims tooooo much
 
Drove mine around a bit yesterday. Can't wait till the ambient temp is a little warmer. Tire spin from the first 5 redlights until they warm up a bit, while fun, is getting annoying.
 
Washed, Clayed, and Waxed it last night. Cant wait to see what it looks like this morning!

Don't know what got into me to wash a car at 10-12AM, but oh well! haha

Not with the door closed, no. The cuts are well forward and aft of where our elbows are. It is a slight concern with it open though, so I will be putting some trim to go around the edges. I also used the grinder to knock down what sharp-edges there were, but I know I didn't get it all.

ran sunday at streets of willow. got the track set up on but instead of doing the federal 595 RS-Rs I went with falken azenis 615Ks because the company i was going to get the tires from sold the last set the day I was going to pick em up and left me scrambling to get tires with only 2 days left before the race. Those tires held up well though and i was able to run a 1:39.1 as compared to my previous best on this track about a year ago of 1:43.6. good improvement but not 1:37 i was aiming for. maybe at the next event I will hit the mark.
 
Cut off the old e-brake cables, realized I have lost the clips for the e-brake cables somewhere.

Ordered a Flyin' Miata Stage 2 suspension kit and some salvage differential retainers. Going to order brake lines and e-brake cable clips soon.
 
Finally arrived back home. 1500 miles dragging the miata behind the rig. She needs a little cleaning though.

Man, that picture scared the hell out of me. At first glace my reaction was "OMG WTF HAPPENED!?!?" Glad you made it home safe :)

PS: What's all that white stuff at the right side of the picture? :p
 
Still have a bunch of parts to install, including coilovers...

Installed all new e-brake cables and painted new re-man rear brake calipers black.
 
decided to keep it one more year instead of ditching it for an RX8 (at least till we have a house and garage)

Now to begin cleaning in preps for Miata-palooza . . . 325 miatas confirmed so far
 
Added some trim to the knife-edge that is the remainder of the door structure, and re-hung the door pull.
