I want to auto X a couple of time here soon but my car breaks free way easy. I have not really found the limits of the car yet to be comfortable in the cones LOL
Maybe once I get some wheels and lower profile tires??

Scott was right, you won't be able to find the limit of your car unless you take it to some places like this and do it safely.

I wanted to go to this but read somewhere that it was members only. Seeing as I don't have a Miata I didn't think much more about it.
I have been to the brooksville event only once. It is an old airport. You will have fun there. I wish I could make it there but two weeks in the roll is kinda too much for a "just graduated without a job young man" LOL
Hope to see you next time.
I get picked on enough with my ghetto car LOL so if I can sack up enough i will come out
if you thought I sucked at karting, wait until i have to worry about cones screwing up my new body kit LOL
I will come out the next time some of you guys posse up out there

If you want to have a show car you shouldn't do autocross. If you want to have fun and learn to drive your car, you should.
I did scca road racing in my 93 RX-7.
Soon my car will be off the show car circuit and I will try again.
It is a lot of fun.

Yeah my compounds might be wrong and the size of these tires (sidewalls) are still thick. Even with my Drop ... I am still super squirrley. Todd and I zip around some back roads ...and I bust loose all the time. I might be attacking the corners too strong too.
Can 18's and SO3's help?? I am very low and the suspension is good IMHO

The sway bar will settle the rear end in transitions, and make the car much more fun during spirited driving sessions and autocrosses.
The squirrely nature is built into the 00-03 S2000's and is very difficult to deal with, especially on an autocross course. Also, autocrossing with street tires is squirrely in it's own right. Unfortunately you really have to underdrive the course when racing with street tires (compared to racing with R compounds). There again, if you're serious enough about autocrossing, you may want to look into R compounds. Of course with the extra tires, you'll need wheels, and unless you have some way to transport them, you may be looking at getting a small utility trailer, and hitch for the S. Like I said, if you're serious about it. if you have a chance to drive an S2000 with race rubber, it is one hell of an experience.
Hmmmmm! I may have to rethink the idea or drive a buddy's car
LOL
I kinda jumped right into show and shine with my recent mod fest.
Perhaps some quality time in the derby lane parking lot will do me some good.
I will still come oout and see what is up.
