I work for Flatout Motorsports, we're a race and street shop in Bellingham MA, specializing in Mazdas and Hondas. We compete in the Grand Am Continental Tire Challenge as well as a ton of SCCA club racing with out arrive and drive customers.

Flatout is known for the build quality of our race cars, so I figured I would share our most recent build with you guys! Everything is done in house except paint, which is done by Tom at Precision Motorsports in Milford, MA.
This newest build is a 99 Miata being prepped to run in SCCA's Spec Miata series.

Unfortunately I didnt get a chance to snap pictures of the car when we first got it since I was with the team racing Grand Am in Daytona this past weekend. But its very early on so we havent missed out on much. The car has just started to be stripped down, and today I got the fenders rolled.

gotta show some respect for working on a miata haha.. in for this one

 

We have a spec miata that we built here and we have raced with your team.

We have the Canton Racing Miata.


Props to the build. Your shop is the best for spec miata stuff.

 

Did you rent from us? Or do you just mean youve raced against us? Name doesnt ring any bells, but Im usually not at the SCCA stuff anymore Im working on our Grand Am efforts.

Speaking of which, weve got the Grand Am car back from Daytona which was a rough first race for us. I was working on it yesterday and took some pics

What are the coolers for in the rear by the muffler?

 

Trans and Diff. Engine oil cooler is up front naturally.

Ha you guys don't waste time do ya! Just picked up the Miata and already going for a full teardown. Good stuff

 

Mike made alot of progress on the car today. The interior, drivetrain and suspension are all out of the car. The doors are also gutted to make room for the door bars.

We also got all the tubing in for the cage plus some extra for future projects

We raced with your company before you worked there. We make the Accusump which most of the Spec cars have on them.

 

Ah ok, I think I had spoken to you about running some Accusumps on our cars. Sorry I never got back to you, things are crazy at the shop and I never got a chance to talk to the guys that run IT if they would be interested.

-Evan

 

Yea just let me know. The owners of the company know the guys who run your place. They used to race and what not.

You guys do the best miata work on the east coast.

 

Thanks man. Were now branching off to Honda aswell. We just built an ITR S2000 last season. Took track record at watkins glen during it's first shakedown!

 

Aren't they kind of close to the exhaust/muffler to provide optimum cooling?

 

I believe the air duct helps out enough? I would think anyways.

 

It is the only sensible place to mount them honestly. They are close to the respective units, and the pumps are mounted directly above in the trunk. Keeping the lines short and tidy was a bigger concern for us than exhaust heat.

 

 

Not much new on the build other than we got the sound deadening out with the help of some dry ice. Now we just need to use some solvent to get rid of the residue.

 

Subscribed, because Miatas are bad@$$ autox cars!

 

Update this!

 

Very cool! I've been helping my best friend with his NA1. A cage, suspension, and a couple other things then he'll be hitting the track.

 

I see you taking pics at work... where are they?

 

lol been too busy working on my bike and looking at places in my small bit of spare time. Was gonna update tonight but, yeah probably tomorrow.

 

I got a couple pix to add too after the update. Loving the progress and how far its come since stock.

 

Updates!
