The miata phase 2.

id be interested in the 99 head/piston/rods/valves, comp in the 99 pistons are 9:5?

stock 99 pistons are 9.5 comp ratio and earlier na's were 9.0.

Lol, if I had the cash I wouldnt mind the 95 motor and tranny. Nothing like having a spare.lol

roebling road claims another oil starved victim. sorry to hear it guys. can't wait for the come back tour though

[SampaGuy]

This car is fucking awesome. I wish I had money to spend on mine.

That seems like not a lot of wheel for that tire. I would try a set of kodiak (sp?) or something in a 16x9.5.

What suspension setup are you running? rates etc.

[Cool Cat Racing]

I had thought about running Kodiaks but Hoosier makes the size I want in a 15 that fits pretty well on the 6UL's. Right now we're running the same Koni coilovers that were on it and the spring rates are hopelessly inadeqate. The new parts will be AFCO coilovers with around 750/575 rates and some 949racing tubular control arms.

Im guess everything poly or alum?

I have just never liked stuffing tires onto the wheel as you lose predictably in the car front the sidewall flex.

What are you doing swaybar wise?

Also, have you considered trying some motons?

[Cool Cat Racing]

I've thought about some Motons and some Koni Race coilovers. I still haven't ordered the coilovers since I'm not totally sure which I want quite yet. The sway bars are currently a hollow 1.25" and a solid 5/8th rear. Gonna keep them till I can see exactly what will work best. The 275's aren't too stuffed, nearly even sidewall, the 245's are a little stuffed, would prefer them on a 8.5 or a 9 but they work for the testing I wanted them for. All the bushings right now are Mazda Comp bushings but the new control arms use a pretty high durometer poly bushings. I'm going to try those and see if I need Delrin. Emilio at 949 has run them on some serious cars and doesn't feel Delrin is necessary since these are a good bit stiffer than standard poly bushings.

Well if you have a lot of on track experience, I would go with the motons. If not, just get the koni's because most of your time will be spent on learning the car.

So im guess that is the racing beat front bar? Adjustable endlinks?

I would try to run a bigger rear spring and no rear bar. This will help the car get off the corners and a little more feel mid corner

I'd planned on removing the rear bar anyways. Even now its a little tight in the rear and I know that with stiff enough rear springs it would just slide everywhere.
