Carbotech XP8™ (1108™): A high torque brake compound with a wide operating temperature range (200°F-1350°F+). Carbotech XP8™ is the first of our racing compounds. Outstanding initial bite at race temperatures, high coefficient of friction, excellent modulation and release characteristics. Extremely high fade resistance, very rotor friendly with 100% non-corrosive dust. Excellent as a front brake pad for lighter ITA, ITB, ITC, SRF, H4, H5, and other cars that weigh less than 2,400lbs. Perfect for novice, intermediate and advanced track day (HPDE) use with any tire, and can still be driven safely to and from the track. There are several vehicles that use XP8™ on the street, autocross, and at track day (HPDE) events. Carbotech does NOT recommended XP8™ as a daily driven street pad due to elevated levels of dust and noise. XP8™ is also a great rear brake pad for almost any race car (Spec Miata-T1/T2/CMC). XP8™ is a great compound on the front & rear of most open wheel and sports racers.

Carbotech™ XP10™ (1110™): When Carbotech unleashed the XP10™ to the general public, and it was an instant success, gathering multiple regional, divisional, and national championships. The XP10™ is a very high initial bite friction material, with a coefficient of friction and rotor friendliness unmatched in the industry. Fade resistance is in excess of 1650°F. Due to the high level of friction and bite, this material is recommended for cars weighing around 2,000lbs or more, not including formula cars and cars with brake bias bars weighing less than 2,000lbs. This is the preferred compound for the front of Spec Miata racers, SSC,SSB, T3, SRF, ITS, ITE, H1,H2, H3, H4, 944 Cup, ST, GS, Factory Five Cobra’s and many more Grand-Am/ALMS/SCCA/NASA classes. XP10™ is also ideal for advanced/instructor level HPDE drivers. XP10™ still maintains the highly praised release and excellent modulation, rotor friendliness, and 100% non-corrosive dust that have made all Carbotech compounds so successful. XP10™ is not recommended as a daily-driven street pad due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise.

Carbotech™ XP12™ (1112™): The latest iteration of the highly successful XP™ series of compounds with an extremely high initial bite, torque and fade resistance than compound XP10™. XP12™ is a world leading friction compound that is unmatched as a Ceramic racing compound, with a temperature range of 250°F to 2000°F+. The XP12™ still has that excellent Carbotech release and modulation that has made all other Carbotech compounds so successful. The XP12™ is the most rotor aggressive compound Carbotech offers, but compared to the competition the XP12™ is still very rotor friendly and contains 100% non-corrosive dust. XP12™ is recommended only for expert/very advanced drivers. XP12™ is found to be most affective on race cars weighing 2,400lbs or more using R-Compound tires; or street cars weighing 3,200lbs or more for track use only.  Ideal for Spec Miata, Showroom Stock classes, T3,  Koni ST, MX-5 Cup, etc…   XP12™ is NOT recommended for use as a daily driven street pad due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise.

This wheel is a 15″ x 7″ wheel with a 25mm offset - the maximum legally allowed. Weighing in at just over 13 lbs. The wheel has a matt black finish and should be in stock starting in January.

Tim has run this wheel on his own Spec Miatas for two seasons now.  He has found them to be strong and easy to clean as well as good looking.

We now carry the Fidanza Adjustable Cam Pulley for Miata and Protege.

Fits both intake and exhaust cams on 1990-97 Miatas models. Fits exhaust cams only on 1999-03 Miatas when stock ecu is used. Fits 90-98 Protege 1.8 intake and exhaust.

PART NUMBER 0000-01-5303

Fidanza adjustable cam gears are made from the highest quality 6061 T6
aluminum.  They are CNC machined to more exacting tolerances than
original gears.  The tooth edges are beveled to increase belt life.
With twelve degrees (both advance and retard) of laser etched
adjustments, you can be assured of proper and precise tuning.

The inner ring of the cam gear is designed for strength, function, and
precision.  Stainless steel studs are threaded through the backside of
the outer gear.  The inner gear is then fastened with stainless steel
nuts and lock washers.  This enables an increase in the amount of torque
used to tighten the fasteners, with no risk of stretching to the
aluminum threads.

The Spec Miata video production was sponsored by Mothers Car Care Products, Toyo Tires, and Mazda. The Spec Miata race was also presented by Mothers Car Care Products.

The Spec Miata Class race video production is now available on the NASA Championships website at http://nasachampionships.com/2008media.html. Please watch this website for further video production releases in the coming weeks.

Starting from pole, Foss kept the hungry Spec Miata field at bay heading into Turn One, but it wasn’t long before the No. 77 Miata Specialists/E-Bargain/Jesus Mazda Miata of Valafar pounced and took over the lead. Foss kept his No. 28 Team Saferacer Mazda Miata glued to the Valafar’s bumper, however, and was able to retake the lead on lap seven as the pair headed into Turn One.

As Valafar fell back into the clutches of Gorriaran and Blake Clements, Foss kept his head down, pulling out a gap of nearly one and a half seconds, before Gorriaran was able to break away from the pack and settle into his own rhythm. With only three laps remaining, Foss’ lead came under threat from Gorriaran’s No. 44 GorillaRacing/Driven Performance Mazda Miata. Though under heavy pressure, the current MX-5 Cup point leader remained poised and crossed the finish line 0.573-second ahead of Gorriaran.

“After last year I didn’t want to do Spec Miata anymore to be honest,” Foss said. “I was really frustrated because of the luck I’d had. I’d built my own car and it was a good car, but I didn’t feel like it was a good car to continue with. This year, I was offered to run with Team Saferacer. The car is amazing. It’s been a great car all week long. We felt like we nailed the setup in testing on Sunday, so we didn’t change much, even though track conditions changed. It was great to be out there in a car that gave me confidence.

“[Steve and Sammy] are some of the cleanest guys I’ve raced with and I’m excited for them too. I knew they’d race me clean and they did that every lap. We were nose-to-tail, side-by-side, and never once did I have a concern. Actually, the racing was a lot cleaner than what happens in MX-5 Cup sometimes!”

Though he dropped back to fourth shortly after Foss retook the lead on lap seven, Valafar successfully moved himself back to third the following lap. He would stay there until the checkered flag to take his first Runoffs podium.

Following an intense late-race battle, Mark Drennan, of San Jose, Calif., finished fourth, followed closely by Aaron McSpadden, of Austin, Texas.

The Sunoco Hard Charger Award went to Andrew Charbonneau, of Delray Beach, Fla., who advanced 13 positions in the race.
