You might get assessed penalty points for having a non-OEM spoiler. Just kidding....

LOL!

Replaced the ratty old intake tube with a race-ready silicone tube with a nice wingnut clamp. Ahhhhhhh.....so nice to make stuff racey.

Given there is no replacement for the air duct, I was going to use the home depot ducts. Now, I can copy your setup.

Yeah...the hose "screws" into the airbox and clamps onto the airhorn. Easy peasy!

Aug 2 2025. Crows Landingg, San Francisco Region SCCA.

First autocross in 40 years! Did...not...hit...a...cone. Did miss a gate on run 3...but no cones were harmed. Super happy with, as my instructor Connie said, "well, you obviously haven't forgotten how to do that!" Stinking hot and burned, but what a hoot of day.

I am back!!!

I'm reading the car door and looks like the SCCA classed your car under ES S3. Is there no S6 class? Seems like you would be the under dog at S3.

S6 is not an option. And yes. I am an uder dog in my class against almost all Miatas but winning is not my thing; I am just out to enjoy my time.
