18" 6UL's are coming!
We are planning our first production run of the new gen 5 6UL Tilt Cast & Flow Formed wheels for this summer. For those not familiar with 949 Racing, we are a small company based in California and have been making race wheels for about 20 years. All 15 and 17". These are...
We have expanded the Supermiata S1 rule set to allow all platforms at the same power to weight and opened the tire rules a bit.

Unless we are missing something in the manual, we don't see any standing status display for AdvanceTrac. Enter track mode and we see the car swerving icon at the bottom of the dash display. Hold the SC button up to disable AdvanceTrac and we see the momentary "AdvanceTrac Off" pop up then it...
We need an S550 GT with the Brembo PP brakes to take some measurements off of. Our shop is located in Lake Forest, CA
Map and contact info here: http://949racing.com/contact-us.aspx
We'll remove one front wheel, take us about an hour to create a brake template. In exchange for your time, a...
We measured the rates of the M-5300-W kit.
You can see from the plot that the fronts are linear 250-260#. Rears are effectively 565# for travel 1 through 2 ". Increasing to 735# for 2-3". Our tester doesn't go past 2.5" stroke but the spring does. Looking at the somewhat asymptotic curve, it...
Buttonwillow 13CW last weekend with Speed Ventures. 100% stock, unmodified. Racing the the turbo Supermiata in S1 so I only did one session in the GT350. Finally got a clean lap without traffic then bobbled the last turn. Drat! Tires were a bit too hot by then. Checkered flag out so that was it...

Like many of you, I was surprised at how abysmal the 9 speaker OEM audio system is in the GT350. Mine is a '17 with Electronics Package. No subwoofer and tinny rent a car speakers. Oddly, the system utilizes 3 way amps and component speakers. They're just junk speakers. So I had Audio Lab in...
We have been getting our street and race cars wrapped by Philip Chan and the crew at Aerowerkz in Walnut, CA for a long time. They do a lot of high end exotics but are willing to do our more proletarian Mustangs and Miatas. Philip drives a Miata too.
In any case I thought it might interest...
Bone stock 2017. Drove straight from dealer in central California to Sonoma yesterday. 100° ambient, 130° track temps, 200 lb passenger. 1:54.20 on I think the 2nd lap. Probably a 1:51 in 55° sunny weather and no passenger. Very happy with this car :)
