The Red Beast has been the plan for the GBM for awhile now- just still working on it.

window regulators are gone as well as glass- also windshield wipers, arms, and motor are all gone. Top is completely off. I will gut the hood and trunk over the winter, probably cut out the trunk floor. Need to pick up an LSD (a few options are floating around- probably torsen though). After I move a few things around then I will be picking up some 15x9 6UL wheels, and for our lot be running 225/45-15 Nitto NT01's and in Lincoln in a few years 275/35-15 Hoosier A6's. But before that will come the boost, and possibly a 1.8 swap depending on how ambitious I get.


Not to mention but the windshield off and put a roll bar in (not a style bar).

Also if the Integra goes away- have plans of picking up another Miata and a trailer. Something I can keep stock and on the streets. While the GBM will beat up autox courses.

This is the Clutch packLSD that Mazda offered before the Torsen units.
It fits the Turbo option rearends, not the NA.
It will fit the Miata or Rx7.

$250 plus shipping.

the clutchpack style LSD's are not ideal in a miata for autox. I hate to say it, as for any other form of racing they do work better, but tighter confines of autox a Torsen out of a 94-05 miata is still the best LSD on the market. If I were getting into Road Course a clutch pack would be ideal, but Torsen works just as well there too, just a little slower exit speed. I am building an XP miata for autox first and foremost.
