changed fluid to ATE super blue and i think AXXIS brake pads (stock rotors) with some r compounds.
he runs circles around 95% of the traffic on any given day.
oh this is on blown shocks. no changes to the suspension yet.
he is that good. but the car is that capable 
yeah we have two guys in stock miatas (e stock miatas too not the more powerful c stock ones) with r compounds run at least 3 seconds faster than everything else out there it's kinda sad, but makes me want a miata more
