Zach, one of these days we'll have to change that. I've never driven a miata, so we should do a switch at fun runs sometime.

Welcome fellow focus driver! I won't be at the 11/6 event, but hopefully one of the later ones.

I am game for that.

First car was an '02 SVT Focus. 3 door, black. It handled awesome for a stock car but never autocrossed it. Sadly it burnt to the ground, but overall a great car. Good luck with your runs

Granny shiftin, not double clutchin' like you should. You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake! Now me and the mad scientist got to rip apart the block... and replace the piston rings you fried.

Yeah.... we'll go with that...great movie, but no nitrous involved just a factory defect. There was a recall for a fire causing issue in the later years.

Haha o yeah that would do it. I had thought I had a similar situation on my hands a couple of months ago when my water pump catastrophically malfunctioned.

Saw this car in Pendleton yesterday...reminded me of this thread. I think if he/she added the wing it could be a 10 ~~second~~ minute car. Don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning...and this ain't winning!
