Not yet, and it's not for me.... I'm just the builder/fabricator/tuner.... it's a car for my old man.
Basically, he went with me to Lime Rock in Sept but pussied out on taking his 1 month old to him 2005 Boxster S out on the track... pussy. So after 6 weeks telling him so, he finally registered for a 3 day long PCA even @ NJMP. 2 Days on Thunderbolt, one day on lightning. He got there late Friday and did some skidpad shit, and braking lessons, and things like that. Thunderbolt he had a blast on. Too tight and technical for me, I prefer Lightning. Didn't stop me from KICKING HIS ASS THOUGH! The next day at Lightning I was driving solo and loving it. I lapped his ass more than a few times. But after the second session he got back to the pits and was white as a ghost. He told me that coming ou of the lightbulb he went to give someone a point-by and as he leaned out of the window (he was on the wrong side of the track anyway) he pulled the wheel and the the left tires hit the dirt. Not a big deal because NJMP does a GREAT job of providing TONS of runoff, BUT the dumbass instructor grabbed the wheel to bring him back on the tarmac. After what he described as 3 or 4 back and forths with the instructor and the car, it finally ended up skidding backwards across the track and he almost got broadsided. And he poo'ed himself.
THe next 2 sessions he took it easy, and on the last session they bumped me to the advanced group where I was hunting down and passing turbo Porsche's GT3's, and there was a Viper out there that I wanted SOOOOOO bad. BUT my wheel bearings had other plans and the car left on a flatbed. So between him almost hitting the wall and my car leaving via tow-truck, he decided he didn't want to do this in his Porsche anymore. So we're taking a '92-95 Miata and building it. I originally wanted to do an REW swap with a GT35r and a .7 hotside, but he pussied out. Something about the 400hp in my car making him poo himself, having that in a Miata would cause the loss of all bowel restrcitions, so instead we're going with a 4-port REW engine and ITB's. Should still get 200+ wheel and be a terror on the track. Paint it flat black and go to war. He just needs to get off his ass and get the fucking car!

I had a good laugh, then explained its a fricking quick and all homebuilt... she did not seem to understand the significance of such an accomplishment...
i just shook my head and walked away..
