Looking for someone that could help me with setups. I finally realized I can't do everything myself with so many projects going.
My 1990 1.6 SM will be painted in 2 weeks and I'm looking for someone to help me setup the suspension, plus Dyno Tuned the car.
I'm in New Jersey, but I'm willing to bring the car out of state if there is someone that knows what he is doing when it comes to Miatas.

Let me know.

Well, the good thing for you is you are equidistant from two shops....or close to equidistant anyway.

Matt Kessler, in Berlin Ct, is really good. He does my annual car check over, alignment, and engine check. I have also had him do other work to the car, and have always been happy with the results.

you also have Planet Miata in Swoyersville, PA. Marc is a very good racer, and his crew is very good as well. I haven't had them do a setup on my car. They did do my cage though, and some body work for me once.

Give both of them a call, talk to a few people, and see what you come up with. If you want to travel up to MA there is also Flatout Motorsports, who have a very good program and front running cars. I have never had them work on my car but it seems like they do some high quality work.

Black SM/SM2/"Slap Bracelet Throwback" #12 in the Northeast....if the car was made in the early 90's it should look like it.

Matt Kessler is a guy who understands the Spec Miata and the guys who race them. He will work with you as an individual and give you what you need.

Phew...... that was a close one!
