I know my Miata fan is running for quite awhile after I get off track. It may not be needed when running at speed but the cool down lap and once you're in the pits it would be nice. Any reason you don't want to run one?

New radiator mounts don't fit and also could lose some front weight for tt3.

It is a lot of fun and pretty rewarding if you get the octopus right. The S can eat up a lot of cars in there.

Ahh gotcha. The fans I mounted for my Integra used these from Summit Racing. Won't help with the weight loss but it will make mounting a fan easy.

I finally got around to installing the roll bar that I got from Lou awhile back. I forgot how much of a PITA it was to deal with the interior plastics. But at least it's done and the car is almost ready for NJMP next weekend! Been awhile since I've done a new track so I can't wait.

Yea I had to. Lauren drives it everyday and I was told that's not happening if it's torn apart.

Thanks, Jim. on the catch can. Do you think a catch can necessary with OEM ap1 tire sizes?

Lookin good Dave!

What kinda catch can you install Jim? I'm going to do a 3.5" intake and move my catch can to the crossmember as the oil cooler lines were run where the old catch can was.
