From: Gods Speed #57 Lemons #77
Cars look nice Pete! Is there any advantages that miata has compared to s2k? Asking you since you have both.
Talking about Lemons.... we had a blown headgasket.... Took the head off and machine shop ended up milling 30thou off the head to make it straight again!
The car seems to be running now, we will see what's gonna happen this weekend

Miata is easier to drive and weighs ~300lbs less. Miata is more fun as a daily driver. S2000 is faster.
blown head gasket/machined head = (in lemons racing talk) look at us cheat to get higher compression and more HP!

The site said STi will not work. I presume it is some difference between the 5 speed and 6 speed gearbox.
P.S. Just took a look at the How To links in your signature..they are awesome! Very clean looking and helpful. Nerd Racing FTW!

Spent last night at the track. Just 6 people and NOBODY else. Pretty cool.
Got to zip around with Matt (car looks great with the new RaceLabz cage) and play around with wifey and her Miata.
The Miata has really grown up over the years.
I like the clouds in this pic. Cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war!

Both double duty cars.

Spent Sunday getting my brake ducts in place, used a modded C6 Z06 plastic duct and a LG racing spindle duct
Had to take the front hubs off, which was not bad at all. This should get me a lot more life out of my pads and rotors.
