RS Blog 27 - The Power Plant
LS7 meet Ultima. Hope you become great friends and have a long future together. This was a single day adventure, but involved lots of shiny parts and some anxiety while opening up this factory built motor.
Quick Race Weekend - LDRL
Another race weekend with our trusty E30. Rainy weekend with muddy death on all edges of the track. Drivers did excellent, no mud, no contact and no penalties.
RS Blog 26 - “Interior”
Sometimes ya need a little push from a friend to get major progress. Had a 1 week window to get interior taken care of and thus pushed through getting suspension installed and trim painted.
Thanks Mark for an awesome interior!
RS Blog 25 - Suspension, Wheels and Body
Putting on the wheels and making them go round. Wish I would have done this sooner just to see it. From boxes to installation.
RS Blog 24 - Leveraging 3D Printing
Embracing new technology to get this build accomplished. 3D printing is a wonderful way to make imagination into reality. Using all the gizmos and gadgets.
Thunderhill Backwards!
Running the 'wrong' way around this track. Term of the day was sketchy, all turns just felt unstable or unsighted. Very fun to drive it this way, but completely understand why they typically don't.
Great event with SpeedSF
Boosted Baja Miata’s first outing
Another fun weekend camping near the beach in Northern California. Bit of bumper damage, no mechanical issues and plenty of fun stories.

Monterey Car Week 2024
Another year of racing the Morgan with Greg. Car week never disappoints, this year seeing some crazy things on wheels.... Aston Martin Valkyrie, Bugatti Bolide and 917 long tail to name a few.
Always keep your eyes open!
2024 OG Gambler in the Vanbler
It’s that time of year to explore and mildly stretch rules. Starting off with bathroom situations.
RS Blog 23 - More Shiny Stuff Arrived
Always a good day when racecar parts arrive and allow you to sit in the car finally making vroom vroom noises! The Tillett seat is great.
Tuning Boosted Miata
Boosted Baja Miata making safe power finally
Thanks to Jei and Mike for making it possible
Lucky Dogs at Sears Point 2024

Baja Boost!
Boost baby! Making more torques down low to pull through that nasty sand. Fast Forward Supercharger setup that is street legal in CA.
RS Blog 22 - Wires and more
Blue shell of wiring hit me…. Adventure of limitless options to configure the chassis and engine electron controls.
RS Blog 21 - Plumbing, Electrons and Speed Sensors
Just waiting for my mind to be destroyed by the looming wiring job. For now enjoying little successes. Running big cables and hoses.
RS Blog 20 - Brake Pedal!
Brakes only slow you down!
Let’s make them stop ya better. Improving design.
RS Blog 19 - Suspension Geometry, Weights and Foot Defense Devices
Sharpie mounted suspension & miles of wires to start sorting out. The suspension lift kit eats up a bit of travel, making me want to understand the geometry.
RS Blog 18 - Sensors, Fitments and ECU Mounting
Pondering part placements, drilling holes in chassis, investigating various factory parts to find improvements. Overall some solid satisfying progress.
RS Blog 17 - Holy Haltech Batman!
Wiring fun. Reinventing the entire chassis and engine harness to fit the project goals. Quite tedious, but worth it for final product… I assume I won’t go insane.
RS Blog 16 - Little More Fitting Before Wiring
Attaching hardware and sorting out things. Keeping the incremental progress going. Big items, radiator mounted, header mocked up, hubs and rotors investigated for wheel speed sensors.
