We'd like to introduce our newest staff member: Mike McCoy. He's our main phone wrangler, so when you call he's probably the first person you'll speak to. He used to drive a heavily modified Forester XT with a mountain bike on the back, but recently he dragged home a stray Miata. Like we all tend to do...

With our complete Stage 2 suspension as well as the Cosworth supercharger and some serious rubber, our 2006 has undergone a radical personality change. It's a sports car now. It has fast reflexes, enough power to deal with modern traffic without breaking a sweat and lots of grip - but without a penalty in comfort or civility. Want some details?

New staff at Flyin' Miata!
We've had a bit of turnover in our shop in the last couple of weeks. After 5 years, Jon has moved on. Adam has stepped in to take his place, bringing several decades of experience with him. We also have Russ, an airplane mechanic (amongst other things) and fabrication wizard Tyler getting their hands dirty.
What does this mean? It means that if you've been told there's a long wait for us to work on your car, that's no longer true. We can now take in more work.

Grassroots Motorsports is one of our favorite magazines, and for their 25th anniversary issue (yup, they've been around almost as long as we have!) they're offering a free download of an expanded digital edition. Lots of Miata content in this one, including a car FM fans will recognize.

There's more than just Miatas, though. Ever seen a Morris Minor powered by a Toyota twin-cam?
The digital issue will be released at the end of October but you can sign up for it ahead of time. They'll also send you a free print copy of their next issue (which is this one!) if you ask.

Enchiladas of all sizes.
We've had the Big Enchilada kit for the Mazdaspeed Miata - aka MSM - for some time, providing a complete upgrade for MSM owners who want to take their cars to the limits of the stock turbo while saving nearly $500.
Now, we've introduced the Little Enchilada. It includes our intake kit, downpipe, exhaust and intercooler - everything needed to reach the limits of the stock ECU and injectors. Every MSM should be fitted with this group of parts in our opinion, it's how the car should have been delivered. And now, this package lets MSM owners save $250.

Bill Schenker took 2nd in both the Pro Solo and the SCCA National CSP classes for 2009 after a solid fight. It was his worst result of the year at a National event (!) so he's a bit disappointed, but we're proud of his work.
He says the car worked flawlessly and he was thrilled with his new Hydra. Next year, he's planning on employing a trained monkey to do the driving.

Big brake kit upgrade...upgraded
We've been selling big brake kits for well over a decade, and we're always looking to improve our designs. For example, we recently redesigned our brackets for a more accurate caliper mounting and lower weight. Our kits are exclusive to us, and show the result of our experience.
We also know how important good brake proportioning is, so we now include an adjustable proportioning valve for every Miata that needs it. We did this without changing the price of the kit - that's a $70 value.

We stuck a datalogger in Bill's Westfield at our staff track day last week. Not only did it catch him doing a 1:00.8 lap time (a second faster than the existing record!), it also showed the car cornering and braking at well over 1g. Yeah, it's quick.

The track record set at the Open House has been broken.
That didn't last long - Keith got it down to 1:01.893. There's an arms race going on at FM, with three people chasing that record. Who will be the first to break the one minute mark?

We'll give you the shirt off our backs.
Well, maybe not the actual shirt. But one just like the staff wears at Flyin' Miata. All you need to do is purchase a set of AFCO shocks or any of our Stage 1, 1.5, 2 or 2.5 suspension kits. While supplies last!
