Converting a SM Miata to an ITA Miata
This past season I ran a few ITA races in my 95 Miata SM car. I was thinking of converting the car to a full ITA car for next season and was looking for some advice on what is worth doing, given that I am on a budget.
(Andy Bettencourt… are you out there? You had the fastest ITA Miata out there. )
So my questions:
1. It is worth doing an ITA exhaust and intake? I saw both on ISCRACING’s website.
2. What about a computer? Is the Megasquirt worth getting? I do have access to a dyno at Kessler Engineering to get it tuned.
3. How about suspension? The spherical bearings and fancy bushings for the control arms look pricey. When you add a set of shocks, it is a lot of $$$. Would an ITA Miata be competitive running the SM spec suspension?
4. How about things like a front air dam?
What else would I need to do to convert the SM car to a competitive ITA car?
I will mostly run Lime Rock, NHMS and Watkins Glen.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice.
