Thanks to Miatacage for the great cages and hard top brackets. They were a big help.

Is it me or is there a preponderance of letterspace in the Hossier logo over the wheel well?

Purple/white outline normal letter space curved to wheel opening on a red car looks great. Of course, it's all in the eyes of the beholder.

The car really looks good. These cars are great but just not like a Miata. Everything is different and to go fast you just have to drive it extremely hard. Of course Jim can handle that no problem! Nicely done!

Interesting. Could you be more specific? I'm just curious.

Is it the suspension or weight that's the main culprit here?

To me it's mainly the difference in the rear suspension.  It takes a different setup than a Miata because of the 5 link rear end.  More toe in to prevent snappy oversteer is a must.  Once dialed in it's great, you just have to overdrive it a bit to go fast and it responds wonderfully.  Now, when the car has to weigh 2800 lbs it's more of a couch like Jim said but this chassis can handle the weight better than a Miata simply because it's a bigger car.  Really fun cars, hope to see more out there.

The new Hoosier decals are in a box in my office. I plan on running at the Runoffs this year and Indy next year.. Selling it when I retire next year :) But as you know, everything is for sale.

I like the Hoosier decals. They look cool, but then I drive an Easter egg blue car. :)
