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)

2023 Pacific NW Spec Miata Tour

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!

Datsun 240Z Repairs

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.IMG_0491 IMG_0492

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.

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.

Turbo Volvo 740 tuning

We have this super nice Volvo 740 here for some tuning work to be completed using Megasquirt software. The car is already a great running car and was needing some fine tuning to be dialed in. Numbers we’re shooting for are about 250 rwhp at 11 psi. IMG_0931
