My name is Dan Lipperini and I'm a new member here on S2Ki. I am not new to Honda S2000's or the racing scene but I haven't posted here before as I usually just read the technical info. Anyway, I need you guys to be easy on the new guy here when I tell you about my vehicle. I have a ........ well....... a Mazda Miata. Easy now guys, it is a Miata but with an F20C driveline. Yes an S2000 powered Miata. I know of atleast one other hybrid F20C Miata but nonetheless a rare and interesting beast. I built the car from a basic street car to a trackday/roadrace car over last winter. Here's a link to some pix of the car but unfortunately none of it finished as it sits today.

I also co-own a race prep & fabrication business called RaceLabz. We cater to drivers in SCCA/NASA and recently decided to specialize solely in the construction of S2000 race cars and salvage parts. This past season we built a T-3 car for my brother Joel and are currently building 3 new cars for this season. Another member here, JC MotorSports, has his car at the shop for a winter "freshening" and we will continue to evolve the suspension package for a run at next years NEDIV championship and another trip to the SCCA Run-Offs.

I hope to be a contributing member to the S2Ki community in the future.

See you at the track,

Dan

 

Great to have you on the board. Your car must scoot right along.

 

Welcome, nice mod!!! Got any track videos?

 

The guys at Racelabz are the best. We had a successful 2007 season and we are looking to improve on that this year. I can vouch for Dan and Joel as great friends and they have a great shop. Joel is one of the best drivers in the country and I am lucky enough to have him as a friend, team mate and mentor. There should be some video up on the racelabz.com site soon.
