When you turn your car on, does it return the favour?

BENNNNNNNY! So awesome to have you post. Everyone's "benny's boots" are probably due to be replaced by now. Great to see the SP wasn't replaced by another Merc.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Super Street magazine Super Lap Battle coverage was just published a couple of days ago and has a few good shots of my race car AKA Creampuff.
My favorite of the bunch is this one, where between the rear tire looking like it's trying to escape the rim, a faint line of daylight under the front tire and the flat bottom dragging on the ground, looks like cornering grip is not a problem 8)

Creampuff is pretty wild and that's a great photo. Not to mention, I can't wait to see further development on Morpheus!

Glad to have you on the forum, Moti! Now, how do we get your GT3 roll bars into Australia at a reasonable cost? :mrgreen:

I don't have a great solution for that, shipping something that big is simply expensive.
If a group of buyers came together and wanted a pallet full of bars shipped to the same address, we might be able to get somewhere with it, we just did the same last week to a group of buyers in Israel 8)

Did it have the DRS working for the Super Lap Battle? Following this with lots of interest for reasons that you know of...

If they can be CAMS approved :)

1. I've been running the DRS almost a full season now, works as well as I hoped :)

2. Show me a link to CAMS rules :)

3. Same here, but man I've been waiting for some parts forever...

Man, I've read a lot of rule books, they really want to make sure the way the CAMS one is written is as confusing as possible :lol:
I haven't fully dissected it yet, but in a first glance, I'd say our NA and NB bars should all be legal... I'll get deeper into it later and confirm.

It was almost swapped for a Boxter S, but after driving it, I reckoned the SP was more fun!

Took another look, things seem workable for at least 6 of our 8 roll bar models for the 4 generations of the Miata.
If there's interest, I'll start a new thread on the motorsport sub forum, yay or nay?

I say start a new thread and gauge interest. Not everyone here will be aware of your roll bar.

Personally, as much as I like what you make I can't justify replacing my current roll bar. If I were to start over though, it would be top of my wants list.

Check with Okibi first, it could be seen as an 'advertisement. I'm looking at a full cage (CAMS approved) possibly late this year...
