Can you tell that I am absolutely stoked about my driving experience at the HSR Fall Classic held this past weekend at Sebring.
I had dreamed of driving this historic race track for many years, and my dream finally became alive last Saturday and Sunday. I had recently performed some upgrades on my 90 Red Miata, including upgrading my brakes with Aussie cross-drilled and slotted rotors, Hawk HP Plus brake pads and Goodridge Stainless Steel brake lines, with synthetic brake fluid of course.. Also I had upgraded my shocks to Tociko Performance shocks, a strut tower brace and a Wave Roll Bar to improve chassis rigidity and handling. For appearance I had upgraded my wheels to 17" with Fuzion ZRi 215 R 17 tires and dressed up my calipers with a red high temp paint.
The car handled like a dream. with plenty of stopping power to allow driving deeper into the turns before braking, with no brake fade whatsoever. It is always a wonderful sound to hear the rev limiter cut out the fuel ..that sputter tells you it is time to shift...at
7400 rpm without turning the engine into a 'hand grenade'. I have been using synthetic lube (Red Line) in the engine, transmission and differential after a 1000 mile break-in period on convential oil. This was a long time ago, since I received delivery of my beauty October 5,1989...and over 146,000 miles ago.More to follow.....
