Introduction
Hello, Daniel here. Long history in Miatas, autocross, trackdays, time trial/time attack, driver coaching/DE instructing, former IMSA MX5 Cup Crew Chief, 2x NASA National Champ, etc.
Build Background & Transition
This thread will start with a bit of catchup, as the car has transitioned into a bit more of a competition car for me lately.
Like many others, I eventually grew tired of street driving a string of modded NA/NB Miatas and wanted something newer, safer, faster, with better audio, cruise control, etc.
The Switch from Miata to BRZ
I sold a reeeally nice NB2 Miata that I had prepped and campaigned to a handful of regional NASA TT6 wins and still-standing records and turned those funds into this 2013 BRZ back in December of 2020, when these were still trading near the $10k range.
Early Build Phase (Street Setup)
Early days were pure streetcar duty, daily duty stuff. Clean it up, paint correct, ceramic coat, hitch mount for my bike rack, and the 17x8 6ULs I had on hand already.
