With a full interior with working A/C and stereo, my SE-R can also be driven on a daily basis and return 30 mpg. In this car, I defeated the great Japanese drifting legend Tarzan Yamada at VIR-Patriot course in Oct. 2006. He hopped in my car and tried to beat my best time. He was over 2 seconds slower.
Updates:
Feb 3, 2007:
Just got in new wheels. I bought some 15"X7" Kazera KZ-M wheels to put my Hankook DOT race tires on. These wheels are specificly made for Spec Miata racing. They are 13 lbs and CHEAP (Tirerack $99 each). Problem is they are made for the Miata hub which is 56.1mm. My SE-R hub is 59.1mm. I had a machine shop bore out the center for a perfect hubcentric fit.
