Congratulations to Fast Specialties customer Thomas Micich on winning the 2023 Pacific Northwest Spec Miata Championship. After 14 rounds of racing, Thomas narrowly beat out another Fast Specialties customer Ken Sutherland by only 2 points. In all, 9 out of the top 10 finishers in the series have had their cars dyno tuned by our head tuner Travis Hall this season! (Photo Credit Martin Burlus)
We want to wish all of our customers competing in the last stop of the PNW Spec Miata Tour the best of luck this weekend at Thunderhill Raceway in Willows, CA. Through the first 11 stops of the 2023 Tour, of the 68 cars that have participated, every single driver that has stood on the podium has had their car tuned on the dyno at Fast Specialties this year!
Update: the Z car from our exhuast post a couple weeks back has returned for a new clutch and slave cylinder along with the necessary components. Should be a big difference in engagement for a more positive driving experience.
We had in this neat little 240-Z that is a daily driver as well as a weekend autocross toy. Customer stated it was in need of exhaust repair and replacement of the intake/exhaust gasket. This is a car that is truly enjoyed and shows you don’t need a big budget for big fun.
The new Rams already have a stout and capable suspension setup; but the owner of this one does a lot of heavy towing so air bags for the rear were a must to keep the rear level for safety and handling.
Spec Miata is a class of racing used in road racing events across the US. The Spec Miata (SM) class is intended to provide the race in low-cost cars with limited modifications; mainly those suitable for racing competition. Regualtions of aftermarket parts and accessories are in place to encourage low cost, production car based competition leveling out the car’s capabilities making it more a test of driver skills.
Today number 308 is here for a dyno run and tune to find the proper air fuel mixtures from idle to redline for power at any point in the race while being within the guidelines. Check out the pop-off Sparco steering wheel and the required cage.
Engines, supercharger kits, turbo kits, exhausts, camshafts, cylinder heads, clutches, shifters, gauges, nitrous, transmissions, cooling systems, gear swaps, you name it, we have installed it before and can install it for you. Don’t let your lack of tools, space, time, or experience get in the way of having the parts you want on the car you own.
Superchargers!, Vortech, Paxton, VMP, Kenne bell, Tork Tek, Procharger, Magnum Powers, Powerdyne, Whipple, Magnuson, Edelbrock, SMS, you name it we got it covered.
Engine swaps and installs are a common type of modification when it comes to increasing a cars performance. Weather its upgrading/updating a factory installed engine, or installing an engine that was not native to your chassis, getting it assembled, installed and running properly is what we do.
This Cobra came in for an oil leak inspection and poor performance; discovered a leak from the supercharger and a couple factory coils that were spent. The supercharger is currently out for rebuild by Vortech; and we replaced all 8 coils and plugs with genuine Motorcraft parts.
These caster/camber plates are a must for those serious about handling. They allow for optimal alignment settings and to let the car be set up for different usage whether road or track. Theses will also let the steering geometry be corrected after and lowering or other suspension mods are done.
