So it looks like I'll be joining the 240 family soon. Well, week or less actually. Figured I'd start getting familiar with the local boards and what not.

I come from a honda background, building just for track really (hpde/open track days). But after I sold my track hatchback, I picked up a miata. It's turned into one wacky overbuilt track car. Not tuned/done yet... but its getting there.

For now.. here is the picture of the only car I know will be remaining in the stable for a bit.

Miotta:

Miata will go a bit lower eventually, its for track though... and with chicago roads... and suspension geometry.. not much lower.

The wheel/tire stretch deal is temporary, gave the wife's car the new 205s and tossed her old 195s on the wheels until my other wheels with RA1s are done... and its time for some tires to fit on the 15x8s for track duty.

I can say I'm not a band wagoner... I just wanted something different to wrench on.

I guess the bw wasn't at me... but I figured I'd add this in Wink

Oh.. its home now btw. Was traded as non-running (99% sure its wiring issues)... but it started today and I drove it off the trailer :p

I'll let the pictures talk.

Please no hating on buying a "built" car... it needs lots of love to be useable. It is also the first time I've ever touched a non stock car... so it'll be made into my own project in due time.

Few more randoms.

Tow truck strapping helped visualize a somewhat lower stance:
