I had a '16 tech pack and replaced the resonators with the Corsa X-pipe. I traded it in for a '19 R and find the R exhaust note has a more pleasing raw sound. I figured this came down to differences in the Corsa X-pipe vs standard R muffler but have not done a detailed analysis.

My cost was $507, including a Gripper Ball, selling for $400 including shipping in the original box. This has sat in my garage in the original box since Jan, 2018 untouched, except for taking these pictures.

I installed a DIY cooler on my 2016 Tech which allowed me to run track events. I installed a radiator and pump in the front of the car and ran lines to the fill and drain plugs of the transmission. I had never got limp mode outside of the track but it got pretty hot in traffic. I often...

I had a '16 Tech on which I added a transmission cooler so I could track it. I traded it in for a '19R just as the pandemic closed the tracks. I was able to get out several times this year and love it!

Last fall, I traded in my 2016 Tech AG with black roof, no stripe, for a 2019 R in PB with a white stripe. I had added a DIY transmission cooler, subwoofer and replaced the resonator with a Corsa X-pipe. I really like AG but the blue with white stripe looks good too. I am happy with the B&O...

My wife got a 30AE a few months ago - it is an awesome car with all the options. Brembo seats have heat but are not near as deep as the GT350. I find the GT350 is more comfortable on long trips and the Miata is a lot of fun on short city trips. It is great having both a "big muscle" car for...

Congrats! Good things happen to good people (and the reverse is true too)! After you have some time with the new car, I would be interested to read your thoughts on the GT500 vs GT350R ownership experience.

When my son was around 4, he did experiments like "what happens when you hit a car with a hammer" (it gets dented), "what happens when you hang on the rear view mirror (it falls off), and "what happens when you put nails behind the tires" (my wife noticed it before pulling out thankfully!)...

I called several times yesterday and left voicemails at both numbers. I called again once this morning. Then just before lunch they called me back and I registered for June 10-11.

I have driven it about a dozen times - it is a great track with elevation changes a couple of long straights. I don't have experience at other major tracks to compare though. i have never done the HPR open lapping - I always go with the the Shelby club or Tire Rack track nights.

I upgraded from a '16 Tech to '19 R a few weeks ago and am totally glad I did. I had hesitated because so much is the same but there were several improvements I had been planning for the '16 Tech that are not needed on the '19 R (coolers, rear wing, sport seats) Some improvements that...

Took my car in for 3M plastic protection and ceramic finish this morning. The Track Armour came off easily and left very little residue on the car. And thanks to everyone for the congrats! Can't wait to get my car back on Thursday.

Thanks! Yeah, I also slapped some Track Armour on the front. I did a quick/crappy job but I think it served its purpose. I was paranoid about the 40+ miles of road construction on the way home.

Just traded in my AG 2016 Tech for a PB 2019 R. I had been upgrading my car (transmission cooler, Android auto, etc) but decided to take the fast route to a real track setup. My Tech transmission cooler works as good as the one in the R but is a lot noisier and I figured would get even louder...

The SV104 caught my eye. PM sent.

Not about a GT350 but related to ADM. I just reserved a 30th anniversary Miata online for my wife and got to pick the dealer for delivery. This gave me the upper hand to insure no ADM or dealer fees plus I get any Mazda incentives. Only 500 are coming to the USA. This is a much better...

My 2016 has 15K miles and started a slow leak a few weeks ago. It was so slow I did not notice it, but my wife did when she nearly fell on her ass in the garage! The dealer put in oil dye and confirmed the oil leaking from the oil pressure threads, and then sealed the threads with teflon tape.

I ordered Nov 28, received two 305s last week and just received two 295s today. The 295s came from PA with date codes of 11-16 and 37-17 The 305s came from TX with date codes of 25-17 and 20-16 They seem to be in good shape. I will be putting them on in the spring. Can't beat this deal!

Got some snow earlier this week in Colorado, but just have to wait a few days for a 50+ degree day to clean her up. I enjoy this car all year long - no salt to worry about around here. For the winter, I have a 275 square setup on Forgestar wheels.

I used a metal clamp and a Gates heat shrink hose clamp. The metal clamp is after the lip of the radiator connector, and the Gates hose clamp is before the lip. I have run the pump at 2 track events and a handful of hot summer day highway commutes. I have not detected any leaks but I have not...
