    Hmm, looks like the spring rates are a little bit on the high side for TMP's surface. We settled on 11.6K and 7K, which is around 2.5HZ if I recall. This should be ideal for the NC with grippy track tires, but it is on the firmer side if the intended course is very rough. Dave sent us a note saying that he needed to run the dampers on the softer side for TMP as well, so that further indicates just how rough this track really is. Dave, take me out there next time! I gotta see this place in person!
    Looking forward to future track tests of this car on other race tracks as well!

    With a proper rear ride height and some other small tweaks in the alignment/dampers this thing will probably see 1:17s tbh. Such a cool, quick, and simple build for a track day car. Loved this series boys! Definitely makes me want to get rid of my NB and pick up an NC.

You’re making me want to risk it all and do this to my NC in California :/. Was previously thinking of doing the carb legal turbo kit thats coming from flying miata but nothing beats that sound, revs and response of an NA motor.

    I think the fact that this motor is so refined in this chassis is amazing! Would love to build this as a street version, but then I just see wasted potential. Almost, why for the street when you can't use it to potential.
    Then I think, for the street, why not just keep the stock motor and have fun.
    I am now tired from arguing with myself! Great build, guys! As always!

    If honda and mazda ever did a collab , like bmw and toyota did ... man, they would desecrate all sports cars. I truly believe this ... and like I said when ya first started this build ... the k and the NCIS like the best combo you can make ATM .. tbh I did not even think about it either, but also, the nc is the "biggest" of the miatas ,and I truly believe that that makes for a perfect combination for power to weight to grip .. it's a masterpiece... The only other thing it needs is a nice snail on it to take ya to the moooooooooooon 😅.. peace and love, guys , keep it rad, stay safe, and build.. l8r famz

  • @Cwomack07
    @Cwomack07 2 месяца назад +1

    I know in the engine install episode they mentioned keeping the factory oil pump with balance shaft in the motor to keep NVH / secondary vibrations down for the daily crowd to be happy. But part of me also feels like if you do a final drive adjustment you’ll be spending a lot more time in the high end of the rev range and could use the reassurance of something like a 4Piston ported pump to eliminate potential oil starvation issues as a litte extra insurance for the motor.
