My dash is saying "brake pads workshop". Does that translate to low fluid, or a sensor grounding?

I did the front pads & rotors a while back, so I assume it's time for the rears. Would be nice to...

Not exactly. I'm talking about keeping the FWD electric drivetrain's 140hp & 184 lb ft, and adding the Hayabusa's 200hp & 115 lb ft to the rear wheels. This would create a total of 340hp & 299 lb...

Fascinating topic, which I've been daydreaming about a lot lately. Very interesting that turbo engines aren't lighter than similar HP NA's, something I did not know.

The MX5 Cup is a lot different than a Spec Miata. The throttle response & power are much better. But the MX5's heavier weight, power steering, ABS, and lame rear diff make it less fun IMO. Not to...

I was the driver of the other car. This was a perfect storm. It was the 1st lap after a FCY, which caused everyone to be bunched up. I was navigating through a pack of slower cars, which blocked my...
