    Thumbs UP! Great to watch you guys battle on the track. With your current knowledge and wisdom gained, would you pick the BRZ or Miata for a budget minded driver and weekend racer? Something else? Great car and driving!

    • @dadhats
      @dadhats 6 днів тому

      I have yet to drive a Miata unfortunately, but I can say it's very close with slight tradeoffs in each direction. Weight, consumables, weight distribution, and handling all go to the ND. Starting price, power (when modified), stability, and pace all go to the 1st gen brz. A roll bar is mandatory for convertibles on track so you'll have to factor that in to the price too. People def have issues with the brz blowing up, but I've beat on mine for 3 years straight and it's been fine. I've heard ND owners complain about the transmission failing. I think for most people the ND is better!

    • @wheelspin1000
      @wheelspin1000 6 днів тому

      @@dadhats Thanks for the quick reply - much appreciated ! My major issue with the Miata is that its a convertible. Regardless of installing a roll bar (barely better) or a full cage (should be mandatory for tracking a convertible) , I prefer a hardtop with a roll bar or better yet a cage. Also, the aero is better for the hard top. Anyway, I don't have a car to race, but am trying to figure this out from a weekend/hobby perspective that could falsely be called affordable - lol Did you mod the oiling system other than the cooler? (deeper oil pan with baffles?) From your video, the BRZ seemed to more stable in the turns and not so twitchy, but is this slower in turns? The Miata driver is awesome and driving the car skillfully fast!

    • @dadhats
      @dadhats 6 днів тому

      @wheelspin1000 I feel you, I didn't want a convertible either. both cars are definitely affordable! nope only did the oil cooler, most people don't need baffles unless you're on slicks maybe. things are a bit different with the 2nd gen brz with oil starvation tho. the brz is def more stable and easy to drive, the wheelbase is quite a bit longer than the Miata

    When you buy a car they ask you moneys, not experience. This is the point. But if people would buy something matching their skills, it would be better. Don't you get annoyed by SUVs parked badly? Is the same, citycars perfect for who doesn't park well exist, why do they want a SUV?

    "don't want to go off there" >my friend breaking a control arm and going off course there I think they're working on repaving the bumpiness on the track but it definitely threw me off a couple times. Great video as always!

    ironically that track looks extremely unsafe for how much you are eluding to the owner thinking about safety.

      you mean bc of the bumps or? I thought it was pretty decent. there's not a ton of runoff like at njmp but it's not like you go off track and hit a wall like at Watkins Glen either lol

    I'm pretty sure the bumps are bc the owner paves the track himself, no joke. It's always been bumpy when I've gone, but current state is much better than it was last year, when the pavement was pitted from everyone bottoming out on the uphill at the end of the straight due to a big dip right before it.

    Had no idea this track existed and that there was a second track near the finger lakes.

      it's a hidden gem for sure! there's not too much info out there about it

    This track layout looks awesome! You can definitely get a sense of the elevation in the video which means it must be bonkers in person.

    Great meeting you Eric, that was a fun day. Sorry about the Novice group, maybe they’ll watch your driving and allow you into the passing group next time?

    Your so close to NYST! Awesome track. Pineview is fun, but if you like elevation, cant beat Palmer! Fitilla007

    Hey, I'm getting into tracking my 86 and I was wondering if you did any mods to address the fuel starvation I've been reading about. I know Verus sells that Starvation Door thing but I wanted to know from you if you did anything to address it.

      I've never had that problem tbh and I've been tracking the car for like 4 years now. from what I remember hearing about that it's only in high g left hand turns and most of the tracks in my area are clockwise. could also just run more fuel in the car to avoid that if you run into that issue. I'd say get an oil cooler and some better brake fluid and send it 👍
