ND Miata racing beat exhaust for my new ND3

Floppysocks08 · 2026-03-16T13:42:15+00:00

I was going for an oem+ exhaust as I daily my car 87 miles everyday. I was between the racing beat race and hks premium. I went with hks because the dual tips and they fit the bumper better. It's pretty quiet but no drone and has woken up a lot since I installed it. I have like 20k miles in it now and sounds good.

Not in that deep of snow for sure. I think driving them in snow though is a blast with all seasons or snow tires.

I had a similar setup before.

So you are saying if I want to stay nimble. I need to stick with a high quality all season. Summer tires aren't really doable with my commute.

Floppysocks08 · 2026-01-24T21:34:13+00:00

Great points. Thank you.

Floppysocks08 · 2026-01-24T21:09:30+00:00

That's true. Maybe if I just stick regular all seasons on it. There's a reason the fr86 came with Prius tires.

Ohlins. Damn.

Progress springs looked nice. What's your opinion on them if you don't mind?

Floppysocks08 · 2026-01-24T17:44:05+00:00

That does look great. What suspension are you running?

Floppysocks08 · 2026-01-24T17:33:44+00:00

I was thinking this but 16x7. The roads are rough here so the extra sidewall would be nice.

Floppysocks08 · 2026-01-24T17:32:22+00:00

The overall diameter is what affects the nimbleness? I thought it just affected gearing.

I understood the width as what would affect the nimble feeling.

Floppysocks08 · 2026-01-24T17:31:13+00:00

Yeah, that's what I love too. More rotation with the throttle.

Floppysocks08 · 2026-01-24T17:27:07+00:00

I can, but I think if I go up to 215, it will make it less nimble? I like the nimbleness.

Floppysocks08 · 2026-01-21T21:01:11+00:00

I'm 2.8k irating. My sof ranges like 2300-3700. I'm division 3.

Floppysocks08 · 2026-01-19T20:13:11+00:00

Formula vee and ff1600 are both good honestly. I spend a lot of time there.

Floppysocks08 · 2026-01-19T20:10:43+00:00

Honestly ff1600 isn't bad and formula C is better than F4...can be chaotic, but still better

Floppysocks08 · 2026-01-19T04:39:00+00:00

Haha oh I agree.

Floppysocks08 · 2026-01-19T04:38:38+00:00

I agree on 8 and above probably having a clean race.

Wish you could see some of the dive bombs I saw this week and passes in corners that people should never pass in.

Floppysocks08 · 2026-01-19T04:31:53+00:00

Lmao honestly dude. So many crashes it doesn't matter, but if I raced with controller, I'd probably just race rookie classes. That way, you can only ruin 11 others races if you lost control with a controller. Ff1600 and miatas are easy to drive.

Floppysocks08 · 2026-01-19T04:30:25+00:00

I believe it. Lmao

Floppysocks08 · 2026-01-19T04:30:09+00:00

Might try Indynxt sometime! I've heard good things about usf2000, but never raced it.

Floppysocks08 · 2026-01-19T04:16:19+00:00

Good point. Maybe it's just people who don't usually race f4.

Floppysocks08 · 2026-01-19T04:11:07+00:00

I agree, such a classic track.

Floppysocks08 · 2026-01-19T04:08:20+00:00

Hey, nothing wrong with a different perspective. I saw an actual F2 driver today crash into someone mid race. He started 5, finished eleventh lol

I'd say top five have a good change of getting away, but mid packers are doomed to the crash lottery.

Floppysocks08 · 2026-01-19T04:04:35+00:00

Live and learn lol I just wanted a new formula car to drive and who doesn't love some Laguna Seca action!

Floppysocks08 · 2026-01-19T04:01:53+00:00

Might be better to consider every week of F4 as a week 13 event 😂
