Drifting, a wheel, some vinyl, and some damage

Here's the miata after the last round of mods sporting some seriously mismatched offsets with +40 in the front and +5 in the back. It looks goofy but its temporary until I get another set of front rims.


After that event I got my hands on a sparco course wheel off craigslist and got it installed. I really like the deeper dish and smaller size. It made a lot bigger difference than I thought.


I also started a little vinyl business and decided to do some advertising on my car.


And here's some action shots of the car with the new graphics doing what it does best.




Unfortunate all good things come to an end and my miata's reputation as being the cleanest drift car at the track was one of them. I competed in the D1 underground licensing for fun. I was ranked 9th out of 16 in my initial runs which was an interesting place. The top and bottom placers were matched up to allow the best qualifying drivers to advanvce and not knock eachother out in the first competition rounds. This meant that drivers like me exactly in the middle of the pack faced very closely matched opponents. This pretty much also meant that we were both completely new to tandem and inevitably I went too deep on the last corner and couldn't make the transition and got tagged. Fortunately this is just an excuse for the new paint job I've been wanting for a while now.
