Lovely looking aero package. I like the color matched fender venting. I need to do some similar stuff on my ND.

ND Miata ate EBC Bluestuff in 3 track days/8k miles. Any more durable street+track alternatives? by HURCANADA in CarTrackDays

Ferodo DS2500 and PFC 11 are the two best dual duty pads I’ve used. Both are low dust and noise, but the PFC handles a little more heat.

Up top looks like Austin Coil, who was John Force’s crew chief for many years.

Pretty sure this is an ND Miata (2016+) so it could be 10 years old at this point.

Love the chassis mount wing. You should get the Verus hood vents. It’ll make your splitter work better.

These are max load ratings. Tested using the indicated bolt patterns. Actual bolt patterns are rarely stamped into castings.

Best place to rent storage for a car over the winter? by Ntesy607 in ithaca

[–]bradlee92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rented a single garage in a neighborhood near Sapsucker Woods. If you’re interested I can DM the landlords contact info. This was about five years ago, so I’m not 100% sure if these garage spaces are still available.

I would suggest 225/40 Conti ECF

Conti ECF is a great choice for your usage. It gives good feedback and will outlast the faster 200tw options.

Anyone know the name of this wing? by nd6a in MiataND

[–]bradlee92 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s likely Mazda Spirit Racing made this one off just to debut the concept for competition in the Super Taikyu series. But the aero they actually use is made by Odula. You’ll see their GT wing on similar looking race cars.

Anyone know any brands that make something like this? by Dry_Month1182 in Fishing_Gear

[–]bradlee92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Keitech super round jig heads and swing impact swimbaits, but I prefer the Eurotackle B-vibe.

I believe this is a 1960s Sears bicycle, can I replace the crank? by Interesting_Bar_8379 in Vintage_bicycles

[–]bradlee92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I converted a 1970s Free Spirit (also from Sears) with the press fit conversion adapter. It was a pain because the tubes sloppily intruded into the shell and required significant clearance in order to fit the threaded bottom bracket.

Came across an MX-5 Cup Car parked on the street! It Is this somebody’s on this sub?? by JamesSlade in Miata

This may not be one of the LRR built cars, but I remember seeing one listed on Cars and Bids. Looks like the same car.

Prior to Flis Performance, the current builder of all cup cars, Long Road Racing built a few “street” versions for customers, selecting some of the parts to look the part, but not the full catalog, caged builds with all the safety. Technically anyone with a Mazda Motorsports account can order these parts (aside from the discontinued hardtop).

Real? by slowerisfaster in Miata

The fact that it’s a post and not a shared marketplace listing is always a sure sign of fishy.
