That's awesome you're gonna be making some parts for them. Competing with Goodwin Racing or FlyinMiata's exhaust suites is gonna be tough, though. Any ideas for what products you want to make yet? (A midpipe with a GESI cat might be a start)
I'm probably going to end up with a Miata at some point, so I'm somewhat brushed up on what's out there in the aftermarket

@GTI Jake just wants to take all my money Saving for a GESI-catted downpipe for the GTI, then a new daily and an ND2 are 120% on the radar for a new autocross solution.

Bracing parts I've seen engineered in a garage by a drunken teenager, so they shouldn't be too difficult to produce. Much less complicated than suspension parts. I will admit, I'd likemy wife wants to get a 718 in the future for autocross/mild track things, but I think a Miata will carry us quite far, and the ND is new enough that we shouldn't be spending a ton on things breaking down, and should hold up just fine -- we're not trying to be national champions (well, I'm not), but we'd like to be competitive for a while and work on honing our skills.
I think it helps a ton that @GTI Jake is on the forum and frequently gives a pretty in-depth look at his process, which gives me a lot of confidence in the parts he produces. There were all sorts of things I didn't know when shopping for an exhaust before watching his videos, and they've honestly shaped many of my decisions on my GTI even to the degree that I've made a firm choice on direction of the car as a whole.
Ah ok, I thought you might be trying to build a lineup like you have for the MQB cars. Maybe someday if you can get the word out to the Miata community.

How did you do the delay valve alone? I've done the entire shifter replacement with the dieselgeek kit, wasn't an issue. Hesitant to pull the valve and have a clutch that won't bleed.
Buy yourself some vacuum hose caps from an auto store. (NAPA, Autozone, Amazon, etc).
If you got a power bleeder (ie, Motiv Power Bleeder), you don't need anyone to assist. Useful for bleeding brakes too so it's worth having.
Brake fluid
Disconnect the bleeder block from the clutch hose. While holding the hose upwards to prevent any fluid from leaking, I capped it off and set it to the side. Disconnected block from the tob and capped it. Nothing will leak with the hose/tob capped while working on getting the delay valve. Once done, put everything back and used the power bleeder to clear out any air from the line.
I'm upgrading my factory brakes to EBCs. How was your install? Did you use an impact or hand tools? I ask because I've heard one of the rear caliper bolts is a PITA to reach
