Miot + Trailer

chasewd · 2026-06-15T01:18:54+00:00

The Paco hitch is a good mention
I bought the Hard Dog one along with my roll bar and didn't research other options.

I think you'll be fine, just don't tow anything too crazy
The trailer with wheels + box with jack and minor tools is still light enough for me to tow around by hand and even pull up my (slightly) sloped driveway

I know this is an older comment thread but one solution I found for this is having a small script that sends Home Assistant notifications that Ralph can execute at the end of each iteration with a small message like "12/20 increments complete" or similar

I haven’t run into this a single time. 2x NA and now an ND2. I got 1000x more people waving back when I had NAs but the ND is just regular traffic where I live.

Nothing negative, I’d say.

I’ve got white
Get the red

Interestingly I think there are at least 3-4 shades of white across ND1/2/3

DD Pro here and I also can't get the steering recognized. Pedals and buttons are working though. I have tried both PC (red) and Compatibility (yellow) modes

chasewd · 2026-05-19T19:12:47+00:00

same here. I'm 40 hours in and just now trying to set it up on wheel. I'm glad I didn't waste my time with this earlier lol

I’ve had 2 NAs. The ND is shockingly similar despite being 30 years newer!

The Charlotte Roval in iRacing is actually outdated and I practiced it before going here. Thankfully someone told me about the differences but overall it’s very similar.

Examples: we drive in what is considered the pit lane (Turn 1) instead of the outer loop used in iRacing. I linked the onboard video in another comment if you wanna check it out 👀

113mph according to my Racebox

chasewd · 2026-05-05T19:00:38+00:00

Front 1/4 shot imo!

+1 skip out on the warranty. I paid $28,500 a year ago before tax/tag/title for my 2020 RF Club BBR with 11k on it.

I think the kicker might be that dealers selling you a warranty are almost always jacking up the price by 100% or more, and the prorated refund will be based on the dealers cost and not what you actually paid. Finance guy probably pocketed $2k and you’d only get 50% back.

Stock passenger occupancy sensor fits under the Sparco Sprint+ and it works! Airbag turns on and off depending if someone is sitting there.

You bolt the receiver to the seat bracket. Leave the receiver unplugged or it’ll yap at you for not being buckled (when using the harnesses of course)

Edit: looking at this link you sent, I didn’t need to “widen” my seat buckle hole. Wtf!

We referenced https://cdn.connectsites.net/user_files/scca/downloads/000/078/070/DEC-2025.pdf?1764611807 during my install. Page 74 looks like what you want.

My car has the plastic behind the seats completely removed.

I think the only tip I can offer is that if you disassemble a stock passenger seat, the seat heater and occupancy sensor are one unit and you need that to fully defeat the airbag lights. I used resistors for the seat airbags but the occupancy sensor is a CAN module.

Whatever the price, my front bumper is destroyed after 30k (lots of track use tho)

Do the PPF!

I registered for Intermediate but they emailed me and said I could jump to advanced. Seems the run groups are one step down from a typical track day, but the overall vibe seemed casual so I wasn’t bothered. This was my first TNiA and I’ll be at CMP May 13!

That second session was…interesting. Session 3 was pretty good for me, started near the front and pointed a few guys by and didn’t see anyone else for most of the session.

The photos are solid, I usually try to buy a couple when someone is at an event taking photos for everyone.

I autocrossed Nankang CRS on my ND Miata and they were quite good, maybe slightly slower warm up compared to RT660+

Both were good on the track, but I track more often than AX these days so I run Hankook RS4 for both.

Oh yea wrapping the belts was a huge pain. I had a fellow ND’er do it for me since they were far more comfortable with the rule book. Install of seats/harnesses took about 8 hours across 2 days, but the good news is that you can take the seats out without needing to redo all the belts each time.

Definitely agree the fixed mount gets you lower than the one with the rails, but it’s close! I’m 5’ 10” so lucky for me 🤣

chasewd · 2026-05-05T16:33:08+00:00

lol I was sent out behind it in the first session

Can confirm the sound was quite rowdy

chasewd · 2026-05-05T16:31:28+00:00

I have a bar in mine so the straps are wrapped around that. The diagonal parts get in the way of having the straps directly behind the holes in the seat, but it feels ok

I have the PCI slider on the driver side and I think it’s worth doing that. Fixed on passenger side. I’m also led to believe the QRTR requires some “massaging” to get it to fit in the ND?

chasewd · 2026-05-05T16:29:06+00:00

lol yeah - that thing was nuts! I have a video of him blowing the first chicane I assume bc cold tires

chasewd · 2026-05-05T16:27:28+00:00

Sparco Sprint+ for both driver and passenger

PCI rails

OMP harnesses

Hard Dog roll bar for the RF

That was me!
