Building Miata into club racer to run in SCCA ITA with CalClub. Evo is too damn expensive to race. Keeping the track day Evo to run HPDEs. Don't really have an off season here in SoCal -- we run year round. I have 5 track days planned in Jan. and 4 in Feb.

My car is parked for the winter but I'm not doing a darn thing to it.

I really would like to install an EVO8 3rd/4th gear but the car only has 8k miles on it and I would feel bad about yanking apart a perfectly good tranny.

This coming season is going to be all about track/seat time rather than performance upgrades.

Building a rally/hillclimb car for PPIHC.

I think the only thing that I'm for-sure buying are these:

http://www.rallispec.com/prod_rssp.htm

I'm hoping to add some decent power too, but not sure what direction I'm going to take yet (stroker motor, turbo kit) If I won the lottery (or find a $$ sponsor), I'll also do the Ralliart diffs & GEMS ACD ECU. If not, those are on the board for 2009.
