What camber can you get out of the S1s? Condition? And what's the pricing?

Ha, I figured you took it out. I would like to get some carpeting to try and cover some of the exposed metal where my roll bar sits.

Everyone swears you can get more than -3 degrees, but I guess my car is not lowered enough. I get -2.8, which is a decent amount.

The condition is good as far as I can tell. When they come off the car I will know for sure. They were bought new by me, installed on 6/24/11, have 9 track days on them and about 2000 miles.

Make me an offer. They cost about $400 new with shipping.

Welcome to the club

 

Great track event today,

VW of America and Trackdaze put this on,

I had 4 students, 4 30 minute sessions, could have driven 8 if I wanted to lunch and they paid me $ 75.00

All the cars were new VW's. VW sponsored this event and the VW folks only had to pay $ 50.00 for the day,.

 

Pictures and details.

Cool idea from VW.

My car is officially track ready. I'll have some pictures of my own tomorrow. I may have to figure out a way to partially block the oil cooler for street duty. Temps yesterday were around 150-160 with 70mph cruising in 6th gear. However, that's only like 2k rpm.

 

I used a sheet of heavy plastic with velcro, simple and quick to add and remove.

brings the temps over 200 on hot days, no cool weather testing yet.

 

George, aren't you blocking a lot of radiator too?

 

Yep, but that was the location specified for the oil cooler. The cover is really only for cool weather driving to get the oil temps up.

 

Spec Miata forums are hilarious. If you ask what the weather is going to be it will spark a "parity" debate about which car is the car to have. 1.6, 1.8, or 99's. Apparently, all of the 1.6 owner's want a 1.8.....and vice versa. Then they both hate on the 99's. Thanks to whoever it was here that mentioned SSM as an option( Rob, I believe ). It is looking like the class for me. Low cost and the NASA SSM only allows the 1.6 cars so everybody is pretty good about keeping things fair. At least what they are willing to admit to on the internet anyways. Depending on how everything goes, I could possibly get the cage in and get a weekend on track with the stock suspension this year. Would be nice to get a feel for it before making all of the changes.
