Any chance the frame rails make another appearance in the spring? Missed out last time because I was worried about SCCA classing, I've since decided I'd rather have a better car, I'm not a competitive driver anyway.

I don't think we'll ever see one on the downpipes. Our manufacturer priced those awfully close to his cost, and we passed the savings along to the Miata community. Basically, nobody has much room to move. Intakes are a possibility, but there's nothing planned at this time.
i need an intake, my injen is not cutting it....?????? |

Not a good time for brake kits, unfortunately. We're in the middle of a (messy) supplier change.

Keith,
I just purchased and installed your upgrade kit 2 days ago, anything I should consider? Before the purchase I was assured by FM sales that there were no issues at all but your comment made me think twice about reliability since thats what your office had mentioned. My car is almost totally dedicated to track time (not auto-x). thanks in advance.
Dave

Our brake upgrade? There's no concern about the reliability of the parts. None. If there was, we wouldn't sell them.
Concerns about a consistent and timely supply, that's something else.

After the july 8th deadline for the current group buy. Can you make a group buy for the downpipe? please! Also I think you should try out making planned out schedule of GBs. Like to give us a heads up on whats the next one coming up and so on and so forth... for example july 1st - july 8th gb on hitch july 9th- 18th GB on Downpipe 19-28 GB on radiators etc etc etc. just another option. that way we can be ready to buy it once it comes up. or maybe seeing an intrest at least  |

Just keep in mind that not all products are really eligible for group buys. Contrary to popular belief, our margins are not massive on all our parts and that also applies to our suppliers. Back in April was probably the group buy on the NB hitch. |

Hi Keith,
I'd love to see some MSM specific GB as well.
FM I/C and FM DP will probably be the next improvements.
Regards from Germany
