Autocrossing with a completely stock car = Fail!

Newly turbocharged...and first cosmetic upgrade, the MR2 wheels

Turbo Stock suspension crappy tires = Bigger FAIL than no turbo

abhik	K car on the outside, beast inside!!	11th August 2009
ananthkamath	lets see how this year goes....i'm in the same class as modified STi's and the disadvantage of tires, but there's still a decent chance.	31st March 2009
Scooby STi	I'm talking about people you and I have raced with dude, all the literature in the world will not convince me that those STis and EVOs in Detroit were being driven to their full potential! That includes me, on a twisty AUTO X circuit anyway, Rally X being a totally different matter.... :)	31st March 2009
ananthkamath	Oh yeah, neither are NASA Time trials drivers: http://www.nasa-tt.com//Results Scroll down to TTU Class and see how a 250 whp Miata compares to a 700 whp Evo. How many more examples you want boss........	26th March 2009
ananthkamath	I dont think SCCA Nationals drivers qualify as douchebags: http://www.scca.com/documents/resultfiles/Te%20Ww - R2.pdf , compare D Prepared and B Street Prepared times, almost identical; plus the D prepared cars are naturally aspirated.	26th March 2009
Scooby STi	"they routinely kick STi and EVO * out on the track."..... Mostly driven by Douche** . I will admit you have a stink fast car though.	26th March 2009
ananthkamath	There is now a thread on the build: http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/modifications-accessories/45577-turbo-miata-story-3.html	17th September 2008
ananthkamath	thank you for the kind words. car will be dyno-tested by end of fall. suspension is excellent right out of the box, so nothing more than a good set of coilovers and anti-roll bars is planned. this car will be prepared for NASA Time Trials for the 09 season.	11th August 2008
islero	What plans for the suspension? And have you dyno-ed the car after turbo-ing? I third that; we need a new thread!!!	10th August 2008
ported_head	Miata engine bay seems spacious! Neat job!	21st July 2008
chetanhanda	ananth dude u need to start a new thread for this car..	2nd June 2008
ananthkamath	autocross runs only in summer anyway where I live. and structural rigidity, stiffness etc. takes back seat to a car which is agile, nimble and forgiving. The 240SX is one of the worst cars you can auto-x. Miatas are among the best out there for this, they routinely kick STi and EVO *** out on the track.	22nd May 2008
sujaylahiri	Why choose a convertible for autocross? Why not something like a Nissan 240SX which has a permanent roof? I mean we don't get the best weather in North America where we live. Also fixed roof = better structural rigidity and stiffness.	22nd May 2008
ananthkamath	Well some stuff is still being sorted out. The setup is home-built except for the welding work. Manifold is custom-built by ETD Racing, standalone is scratch-built by me based somewhat on megasquirt.	19th May 2008
v1p3r	Lol, not so stock anymore, eh? How did the labour work out for you? And what exhaust manifold did you use? Which standalone? Why not start a new thread?	19th May 2008
dipen	Guess no one can ever resist more bhp forever.	19th May 2008
ananthkamath	plans changed, not going to be in stock classes anymore. Watch this space!	28th March 2008
ananthkamath	sorry to disappoint; my philosophy with this car is to be competitive in the stock class	17th October 2007
pawan	put the 20b engine should be a killer.	17th October 2007
ananthkamath	I have dunlop wintersport M3. LS2 hmm, i'd rather turbocharge the existing engine	15th October 2007
islero	how about plonking in an LS2? :D....... dont know how well it would do in the autocross after that tho....with all that iron in front....	15th October 2007
islero	Hey nice car man, my bro's got a 1997 model.....what tyres you running right now?	15th October 2007
highwayblaze	nice pics! :) thanks to ananth i drove this car. it drives like its on rails--LITERALLY ! fantastic!	11th October 2007
