Miata drivers- love it! One of those was turboed as well. Yes, that's the 60 series c/r box in it

Hi Dave - I'm in Palmerston North and have a Coupe racecar. Often run in the same group as MX5/Miatas here too (Manfeild) - am generally 1-2 secs per lap faster than them but they have limited mods for their series (must say they do handle well even relatively stock although their power/weight lets them down).

I'm interested to learn about the gearbox you're running. I'm using a 60 series 4 speed with close ratios built/commissioned by Reg Cook "back in the day" (early 1980s I think). 'Rally' ratios with 1st gear ratio around 2.5:1. Straight cut gears - noisy! (Although I only notice it on warm up and cool down lap.)

The best ratio 'boxes I've had were two Ultra-close (2.169:1 1st gear) 56As but unfortunately each eventually broke, and I'm only running a mild 1300.
