@@rockerboy13able Hi , on top are 3D printed from guy that sells on FB can't remeber his contact . Lower ones are for NB Miata from Flying Miata .

@@driver46 Sweet. Thought the lower vents looked familiar but couldn't figure it out. Appreciate the response!

If I remember correctly it had 169whp with stock cams, with stage 2 cams I added 550cc injectors and racing headers . That is all I did for power .

It depends on how hard you will use it (mostly rev limiter ) in my case 7,000-7,400 on 2.5 engine that is not made for high revs it comes to about 40 track days . If you keep it to 6,500 it should last much longer .

This one comes with short shifter from CAE in Germany , it is amazing for the track but pretty harsh for the street .

Hi, I got care with rolled fenders and than I butchered them even more . I think that for 245 you have to have at least some roll on your fenders to prevent rubbing in corners . I hope you will have great time with it 👍

It is from Japanise market , I think it is Rev9 name of the company that sell them online .

Esslinger stage 2 cams , stock valve springs .

Thanks , forza Vale 😀 I am using RT660 , AO52 and sometimes Hoosier A7 . Sizes 225/45/17 if your wheels are 9J or 245, 255 /40/17 if you have 10J wheels . My tire pressures are usually very low like 29psi(1.99bar) front 28psi(1.93bar)rear hot . I get most grip like that but car can feel little bit less responsive and side walls could get some damage depending on the track . If you are not chasing last hundreds of the second go with 31/30psi. (2.1/2.0bar) that will be safe and good enough .

Something like that , they never left tho . But engine will be done in about 40 competition days .

Thanks , First two years it had ebay used stock LSD but in last two years it has OS Giken like in this video .

You need the ford fusion 2.5 swap and stage 1 cams.

Thanks , sure we can do that . You can DM me at IG @cars4track and we can go from there.

Hi , thanks I will try and I am glad if it can help other track enthusiasts. I think it depends on your driving style and what bias you prefer. I just tried messing with E36 on the track this weekend and I removed rear sway on it too. Best bet would be to try it in back to back sessions and see what are the lap times and what is the feedback you are getting . On NC it is super easy to unhook end links and just zip tie the bar in place for test. Later you can remove it completely if you like the effect.

@@driver46 thanks man! Will play around with it and check results.

Thanks

Thanks , I tried the best I could to carry as much speed as posible in the corners.

That's cool ,46 number is so legendary . I have Koyorad radiator , oil cooler and no thermostat since in CA is pretty warm all the time .

@@driver46 thanks for replying. I'm still stock but plan on adding the oil cooler at least. Have you just piggy-backed off the stock filter attachment point? Because I've read that the added stress of sandwich plates, hoses, gauges etc hanging off that cantilevered housing can cause it to fail on track. Also, have you upgraded brakes? I didn't see any cooling ducts. Or do the fender vents aid brake cooling? I'm finding my stock brakes are performing very well with upgraded pads, hoses and fluid. Don't know how much harder I'll be able to push before I reach their limit. I'm just a beginner.. I'm in a similar climate to you in Australia and didn't actually consider removing the thermostat. It does get down to ~5°C on occasion. I find the car warms up very quickly.. perhaps I should consider it. I still 'semi-daily' the car and can't go full racecar without removing the PRHT

@@dielaughing73 if you daily it leave thermostat in , worst case you can buy one that opens early . While being stock I had 0 issues with cooling on stock system . During 2.5 swap I did radiator and oil cooler . I use sandwich plate and so far housing never failed on track , I did break one by over tightening it but that was on me . Stock brakes are good enough for very hard use and only difference with upgrading front calipers will be in better feeling since they will flex less . I did upgrade after few years of tracking to Racingbrake.com since they sponsor me and those rotors will last forever on this car . I added cooling ducts instead of fog lights but I mostly keep those closed , only ove 100f (35c) I l open those. Also I use 5w-40 oil

@@driver46 good to hear it manages heat well with stock power. I have been wondering because I don't have a gauge for oil temp or pressure yet. Water temp via OBD has been fine on track, though I've only tested it in winter so far. I run 10W40 race oil and want to get those fog-light brake ducts, lots of other things to buy first though. How often do you change your oil? I last did it after a few track events (but less than 1000km) and it was already a bit thin and dark in colour

@@dielaughing73 good choice of oil , I change it after 2 to 3 track events depending how many sessions I did during the weekend . If you want to aim at km covered multiple all track km by 20 and that will be your wear and tear in normal driving conditions . Also you should have oil pressure on your stock dash ( not very precise) but should give you idea if everything is alright.

Sure , it all depends on the car too . This Camaro was close to stock so the aero made lot of difference in the corners and there is always the weight . If you get fully track build Camaro , Vette or 350R there is no chance to keep up with Miata that is sure .

Yes

I am not sure

Thanks, it really was .

Bro he got 25 whp with just a cam upgrade on a stock engine

@@linkyfilms1448 Yeah when you compare to a Honda K even the 2.0L Honda Engine is capable of a good bit over 200whp.

@@Salvisol yeah thats honda for you man great ability to make power

@@Salvisol Most k swap miatas make 200-220whp and literally cost 10k. This is a 2k swap and you could do plenty of other work to get k power. Is the k a better motor? Sure. Is it worth it? nope..... A built 2.5 turbo is going to smash a k.

Thanks

Thanks

Horse was dead , lol Got new engine now .

That's true 👍 , thanks

Thanks 👍

Thanks, yes it is 6sp

Previous tune didn't activate VVT so once that was fixed it made 20ft/lbs of torque more and specially in mid range

Maybe due to different camera from windsheald, it gives little bit louder audio than helmet cam .

Sorry to hear about your transmission, it is never a good day when that happens .

Thank you 👍

Thanks , music is there to stay . Not too many options of music that TH-cam allows. I might tune it down a little bit, tho.

If TH-cam is not so strict with copyrights I would love to play some really cool music in the videos but that would be taken down immediately.

@@driver46 I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. In my experience, unless you're doing a real slick edit, 70% of people will be annoyed by music, no matter what the music is. You may really get me by putting Best of the Rising Sun on this, but someone else would really want Freebird, someone else wants Mozart, and a bunch of people just want to hear the motor. I've had people complain about music on a time lapse, as if they were missing the pure engine sound at 5x speed. Best to leave be.

Wow , where did you collect 25lbs rock 🪨? That is very unfortunate, hope your insurance covered it.

@@driver46 it happened on 280s in SJ. Not sure where it came from but it was around the time where some guy was pushing rocks off the over pass and killed some guy. Insurance cashed me out

@@CarsandBikes that is crazy , good thing you didn't get hurt at got paid out.

@@driver46 few inches higher and it would have been final destination

@@CarsandBikes second birthday date 🤙

You are right , little problem with racing is it will cost more than double but that is the plan 👌

@@driver46 Yes it's expensive, but you'll love it and man you are ready!

Thanks 😊

Just about have our little house paid off and Zero Car payments. Drawing garage plans. Garage first then project car.

@@supertruckertom xlnt! Welcome to the rare & comforting world of being debt free!

👍

Hi , Garmin is very useful to realize where you can improve . Only downside is that it combines all of your laps (whole day)to give you optimal lap and it would be much more realistic if you could choose to make optimal lap for each session since temp. changes , tires ... I have stock final drive 4.10 on OS Geekan LSD

@@driver46 Very cool! The OSG diff is on my short list of upgrades left to do... Please keep the racing videos coming they are needed during the winter months over here! Thanks!
