New build in 2022 by Erik Nemnich (Driving Force) for NASA ST5. No expenses were spared.
Easily converted to SCCA SMX with a 2.0L motor swap and front brakes.
Includes:
3 sets of wheels 1 x 17x8 spec MX-5 Rays with Rains (1 heat cycle) 2 x 17x9 Rays
X-Factor 2.5L crate racing motor
Built Walter Transmission (brand new with one weekend on it)
Full Spec MX-5 Suspension
MiataCage Roll Cage
RX 8 Hub upgrades
All Belts are up to date
Fire Suppression System up to date
Spec MX-5 Exhaust
Wilwood 4 piston front brakes (not SMX Spec)
Hard wired Coolsuit system with shirt
Car is rock solid with no damage history. Was built for ST5 NASA, but can easily be converted to SCCA SMX with a Spec motor swap and front brake swap out. Car consistently podiumed in NASA ST5 with an average driver (me)
Current motor is a 2.5L Haldeman special from X-Factor that dyno's out at just under 210HP to the wheels. New it was a $9k motor, so if you decide to convert to SMX you should be able to sell the 2.5L for close to the cost of a Spec 2.0L
Car is current track record holder for ST5 at Ozarks International and has been rock solid on the track.
Here's some video of it at OIR.
