i cant run autocross with subframe connecters can i?
And i cant do track with subframe connecters either(not drag) Also, would adding 6.5 quarts of oil help during a track day?

Yes you can run AutoX no problem.
I am not sure what class they put you in.

Sure you can. You'll be running in a heavily prepared class, but what class you're in doesn't really matter for local events. I belive you'd be in Street Mod.

Are you asking if you can do a track day with subframe connectors? You certainly can: there are no class rules about car prep, since it's not a competition. And yes, I'd go with 6.5 qts for any track time. I'd really consider an accusump if you're going to do much track time, but there are some people that have done a lot of track time with just an extra quart of oil, and had no problems.

So you think a person should go with performance pully's instead..? I know there are prob alot of posts on this already but i thought this would be good for the AUTO-X fourms! You guys have been a great help thanks The Noob from ND I just bought some Enkei J-10 rims with some BF goodrich G-Force T/A KDW NT tires (They look  MEAN) and made my own battery relocation kit. I plan on racing ALOT this summer.

If you want to get that last one-onethousandth of a second, the lighter underdriven pulley might get it for you. The DMD might cost you 0.001 second. But, for a streetable car, the DMD is reported to make the engine feel much better at high revs.
In other words, it's not a big deal. Don't sweat power. Going to Falken Azenis over the BFGs would be worth a lot more times. If you like the idea of a smother-revving engine, then go ahead and get a DMD. It won't cost you any real time.

I'd recommend underdriven accessory pullies over the crank pully. You'll also want to make sure you have good powersteering fluid (Redline). I cooked my p/s pump during some summer events 2 years ago. Since then, my p/s is underdriven, has redline, and I'm looking into a better p/s cooler.

Have you officially rethought your position on this matter?
Yes, I bought a Unorthodox crankshaft pulley for the Miata. Hell for $120 off, I couldn't say no. Worse comes to worse, I'll sell it at a profit anyway.
