The go kart

01rtgurl · Post by **01rtgurl** » Sun Oct 19, 2008 9:05 am

I didn't have time to wash the car before the sun went down so I just snapped some quick shots. The car is DIRTY. Note brake dust lol.

Suspension:
-11" from fender to hub, all around
-15x7 +38 Kosei K1's (they are sanded waiting for paint right now so they are flat silver)
-Project Kics 25mm spacers
-Toyo R1R 195/50/15 (they run wide... and the grip is unreal wet or dry, but I lack horsepower)
-STANCE AL+, rears all the way down (all collars touching), fronts a few turns up from lowest setting (8k/6k springs, aka 500lbs front/325 lbs rear--for a 2200 lb car lol)
-Flying Miata frame rail braces
-TCSportline tubular rear upper control arms
-NB front upper control arms
-Energy Suspension Bushing kit
-R-Package outer tie rods (they run parallel with the control arms)
-Secret Element super angle inner tie rods

Alignment:
-2* of camber front and rear
1/16" toe in
+5* of caster (depowered rack)

Recent additions:
-Molded in Autokonexion rear lip spoiler to trunk lid
-Finally mounted 5th point of 5 point harness (woohoo)

Currently lacking:
-Towhooks

Enjoy!

Looks hawt! When is it getting a 5.0 dropped in there?

Monster Miata!

In all honesty I bet that thing does indeed handle just like a go-kart.

I like it. I would drive that.

I have tossed around getting a miata for a while. I almost got one a few years back that had konies and like 30,000 on the OD. Drove like no other car I have ever driven. If I did get one I would drop in a BPT slap on a flying miata turbo kit and crank the boost up.

I'd have fun raping some cones with that car

myneon: yeah... I wanted to do an LSx swap.. but now I'm actually thinking a small turbo would hold me over in the engine dept. The thing tops out at 115 with the top down. It just won't go any faster lol. Top down + 40 degrees + 115 mph = fun.

demon: The Miata is a lot of fun. Extremely tossable, even with how stiff it is right now

korean: Cop was a park ranger...

mox: And as long as the parking lot isn't real bumpy, I'm sure it'd be great at auto-x

thanks for the comments, its a blast to drive!

I would love nothing more than to have a miata just like that. I love those things.

I bet you could sell your neon and get 2 miatas (or one, and all my mods...or...wait... just all my mods lol)

I kinda want another, lol.

Thanks for all the comments guys and gals

Nice! Love the stance, and the roll cage. Gives it a very aggressive look

You have the same camber setting as my ACR (-2d)

What anti-sway bars does it have?

Thanks and none yet..... that was put in the budget for next year, after I redo my bike

You should see the swaybars, they are soooo cute, they are about as big in diameter as a pencil!

Damn makes me miss my Miata. I had an 03 special edition MX-5. Car was so much fun! But when I bought my SRT I had the two of them for a few months and realized I couldn't afford both of them. So I sold the miata as its less practical as a daily driver than the SRT was. I still miss it to this day though

Nice car, looks great so far

Thanks, and you're right about DD duty. As long as it 1.) doesn't rain and 2.) you don't need to transport more than 1 person or anything big in size, you are good to go haha. My rear window is all fubared, so I don't even bother putting the top up anymore, it hasn't been up in months. I just watch for HEAVY rain.

But it's still fun driving in the rain (donuts!)

Mine had a glass rear window with defroster. My Miata had all sorts of amenities that most others didn't. Its sticker price was $30k. From the paint color, to the interior and top color. Sound system, the wheels, etc. Every year they had a special edition Miata that they made like 1500 of. Mine was the one for 03. Gorgeous little car.....I'll get another one someday.

Yea, mine is one of 3997 Limited Edition BRG's that they made in 91. They came out with the BRG special edition in 01, but it had a tan top to go along with the tan interior. That's the car that made me want a Miata (back in high school!!) I've taken out the amenities, all it has left is the ABS. No A/C, no power steering, no radio... etc. It's fun

Go for an NC!! They look like sex once lowered a little, those big fender flares look great.
