geez zygarian,

sorry , your single cam cant beat a miata. I wasn't stating the fact that you can beat a sohc civic impressive. its just funny when your ricer friend makes fun of your ( gay mans car) and you beat him. Since im a nice guy im gonna give you rep tho, even tho you cam off as a douche

What an idiot.... there is a reason that the Spec Miata Class is one of the largest groups in all of the SCCA. They make great track cars and are easy to work on. Not sure why that one was so twitchy, but they usually handle extremely well....

Also, if you want to up the power, see the guys at XAT. They just put together a miata for Casey (the owner)

Cheap as hell too

Twitchy usually equals bad alignment. Makes all the difference in the world in these cars.

FYI, I've never owned anything fail wheel drive, nor have I owned anything with less than two cams; half of the cars I've owned have been turbo Supras. If you would look right over to the "Car:" section, which is in every post, you'll see that...OMG! I own a Miata!!

I personally am not a fan of Spec Miata class, though only because of the limits imposed on it. I like being able to do whatever I want to my car.

Also, yes twitchy = bad suspension setup. Probably has some crazy caster setup, or just a wrong suspension like mine. I have some very annoying understeer and then sudden overwhelming oversteer, but I know why.

So I assume even a bolt ons SR swap in one of these early 90s Miatas would be a fun car...
