Can't blame ya there
For my alignment, I use the "Lanny alignment" specs from Miata.net . It's a bit aggressive for the street, but after the insides of your tires wear out, you just swap them on the wheels and put the insides out
As far as the classing goes for my group, the class I run in is "E", which is basically "modified street car on street tires under 3 litres of displacement" When you add a super or turbocharger, it bumps you up by a factor of 1.5 for their displacement classing.
Basically, any "real" mods will put you into the "e" class, i.e. shocks, springs, taking out your passenger seat, ect. (classing can be found at
FAST - Autocross ).
Basically my Miata setup is as follows: '95 1.8 base model miata in black, Flyin Miata first generation springs on KYB AGX adjustable shocks, Flyin Miata rear shock towers, Flyin Miata Supersized Happy Meal clutch kit (stage 2 clutch/pressure plate, Flyin Miata Purple 9lbs. flywheel) , I run the R*speed Chapparell wheels in Onyx with a set of Hankook RS z212's in 225 50 15's if I remember the right size... Started with some Toyo T1S' that came with it, then went with the Hankooks. Boss Frog Rollbar (also left in stock seatbelt tower mount), MOMO Corse buckets, Racing Beat Type II Nose, Simpson design flush rear bumper, Garage Vary Nostalgia rear panel,
The good stuff:
BRP Coldside Supercharger (Jackson Racing M45), Racing Beat Powerpulse header, highflow cat, Dual feed fuel rail, 70mm McIntosh throttlebody, Hondata Phenolic spacer gasket for intake manifold, Monsterflow "Cone" Filter, BEGI Rising Rate fuel pressure regulator. NO engine management, NO timing/spark control, dyno'ed at 162 whp on stock fuel injectors and fuel pump.
So far this autocross season I've placed 1st, 3rd, 1st, and 1st in an enduro cross event we did the next day. Last season I was horrible (my first time ever autocrossing, and I was on bald tires at the time) , and for some reason this time something clicked and I'm doing pretty damned decent.
My motor has just started burning oil, and my oil pressure fluctuates sometimes when I'm boosting, so I'm thinking my rings are going, so I sourced a built 323 1.8 in Canada, that I'm having shipped down here, with a turbo kit included.
To be installed: Goodwin Racing Big Brake Kit, Megasquirt PnP, NRG QR and shorty hub and adapter, bigger injectors, Torsen Diff., and Energy Suspension Hyperflex Master kit. I need to get some new tires soon too, and thinking of going with some Yokohama S-Drives (have a friend at Tire Kingdom).
My girlfriend's '92 is almost completely stock, with just a cone filter, stock replacement clutch, and a shaved stock flywheel (12 lbs now instead of almost 20! ), and the Tsudo catback exhaust off ebay. She's usually last as far as times of the day go, but she has fun, and she gets better every time, and that's what counts
