<![CDATA[Project Time Attack Miata]]>Been working on this afterhours/weekends for the past couple months. Haven't had a whole lot of time to devote to it so will probably be a winter completion for 2010.

60 foot should be low 1.5's easy on a well preped track.

I have seen a guy swap the TII trans in w/ a hackjob adaptor plate setup. Most the road race guys use the 6spd as the gearing there is not important. If i continued to try drag race the 6spd simply would not work. There is a gearset out for the 5spd that would solve the issue of ripping the gears apart, but right now my issue is trying to find what causes the trans issue w/ high rpm 3rd as i got 2 trans doing the same thing.

The trans will not shift @ high rpm into 3rd gear and i've had 2 trans do the same thing so currently one is tore apart on the bench to see what may be the root of the issue. At high rpm it either goes into 3rd gear and free revs as if the gear is non existant or it goes into the 3rd gear gate but somehow manages to use the 5th gear. You can pull it back out and reput it into 3rd gear and its fine, turns out it'll run 11.5-11.60's all day doing such... Short shifting 3rd around 6k rpm kevin netted the 11.34.

wish it was layed over RPM instead of MPH so you could see how it spools

I'm glad you pointed that out, I was wondering......

I've not blown up my own 5 speed yet, but I've been at a few track events where its happened. You're right though, at least its an easy enough swap.

I'm not a heavy track guy though, I'm hoping to get deeper into the sport in the next year. Been to a lot of tracks and events, but I've only run a handful myself.

Anyway, I love the project, wish you luck on it.

Sounds like you've been doing a little to much forum reading... I like to do things from experience not from reading and will approach the issue once its in front of me.
