Flyin' Miata Mod

I guess alot of people are starting to do this in the auto world. Miata guys love it, and mr2 spyders are getting there. Im pulling a motor out this weekend and ill pull the rack out and see if its possible with ours.

any other thoughts or ideas? Might be a cheap alternative to the Manual rack for 1g guys and a good option for 2g guys.

I'm sure it will increase it.

Drive a Lotus Elise... hitting road reflectors wrenches the wheel from your hands lol.

Honestly it isn't that big of a deal unless you are a total tard.

My friend who has a mr2 spyder did this and he's big into autox and he was telling me that in a turn he can feel when the tires are starting to give so he can steer back into the turn, in other words he loves it lol

Damn, looks like a good idea, Won't this increase "Bump steering"?

Nope.

Bump steer is a result of steering geometry which is unaltered during a "de-power". You might feel more bumps, but it won't actually be bump steer.

Read this. :cool:

One of the guys from a DSM site that I mod on has already done this to his 1G, so it's definitely a possibility:

I plan on doing the same to my 2G rack when I have time as I just have the lines looped right now.

Would love to see a full write up for DSM'ers swade that we can all reference too! :D

Looks like you need to register, any way you can copy and paste here, or is there too much stuff?
