the PERFECT Miata Build to GET LAPS?  Jeff Wasilko NA Miata for Gridlife ​

This isn’t a show car. It’s a GET LAPS car.

In this episode of CARNATOMY, we break down Jeff Wasilko’s purpose-built NA Miata — a lightweight momentum monster designed to do one thing exceptionally well: make drivers faster.

Jeff is a race instructor, and this car is his classroom. Let’s take a walk around his NA Miata Build here from @LimeRockPark  at @Gridlife  Circuit Legends!

Under the hood sits a 2.4L Ecotec swap, delivering reliable, usable power in a perfectly balanced chassis. Supporting the drivetrain is a dialed-in suspension setup featuring Ohlins coilovers, tuned for maximum feedback and consistency lap after lap.

At each corner, the car rides on KONIG Hexaform wheels wrapped in sticky track-focused rubber — lightweight, strong, and built to handle abuse.

In this episode, we dive deep into:

  • The full engine bay and Ecotec swap details
  • Suspension geometry and Ohlins setup philosophy
  • Wheel and tire package selection
  • Aero choices that keep the car planted
  • A stripped, functional cockpit designed for focus and driver development

This NA Miata isn’t about dyno numbers or parking lot points. It’s about seat time, consistency, and chasing faster laps — whether you’re a student or an instructor.

This WRX might be the perfect TIME ATTACK build… | CARNATOMY

In this episode of Carnatomy, we take a deep dive into Gridlife Time Attack driver Joshua Halka’s 2011 Subaru WRX and break down what makes it such a focused and effective track weapon. Built to handle the demands of competitive time attack, this WRX blends smart engineering, proven components, and driver-driven development into a package that’s fast, reliable, and purpose-built.

A standout detail of the build is Joshua’s choice of KONIG Hypergrams. As one of KONIG Wheels’ most iconic designs, the Hypergram has earned its reputation through lightweight construction, strength, and real-world motorsports performance. On this WRX, they’re not just for looks. They play a critical role in reducing unsprung weight and improving overall handling on track.

We walk through the car’s setup, discuss how each modification supports Joshua’s driving style, and explore why the Hypergram remains a go-to wheel for grassroots racers and professional drivers alike. Whether you’re a Subaru enthusiast, a Gridlife fan, or someone building a street-to-track car, this episode offers a closer look at how thoughtful parts selection turns a WRX into a true time attack machine.

Watch now and get inside the details with Carnatomy by KONIG Wheels.

S2000 Touring Car Build for Gridlife w/  Hans Horpedahl | CARNATOMY

SEMA Pit Stop: Konig Meets Up With Eibach and Koni Suspension

S2000 Touring Car Build for Gridlife w/  Hans Horpedahl


We recently had the chance to catch up with Konig Wheels driver Hans Horpedahl during the much-anticipated Gridlife Circuit Legends event this year. Hans is not just a familiar face on the Gridlife Touring Cup (GLTC) circuit but also a driver who has continuously pushed the limits of his car and his skill. This time, we took a closer look at his GLTC build for the season, a machine that exemplifies meticulous engineering and relentless passion for motorsport.

Hans’s car is a K24-swapped Honda S2000, a platform that has earned its reputation for balancing power, precision, and reliability. With the heart of Honda’s K-series engine transplanted into the lightweight chassis of the S2000, Hans’s build combines high-revving performance with razor-sharp handling. The result is a track weapon perfectly suited to the demands of the GLTC, where every second counts, and consistency is king.

Representing Myriad Motorsports, Hans has taken his S2000 to tracks across the country, competing in one of the most competitive grassroots racing series around. Each lap is a testament to the countless hours spent dialing in suspension setups, refining the power delivery, and ensuring the car is race-ready. But it’s not just about the car; Hans’s dedication to racing and his focus on continuous improvement have made him a driver to watch in every event.

This season, Hans’s build is more than just a car—it’s a culmination of teamwork, passion, and the drive to excel in one of the most demanding racing environments. Whether he’s battling for position or pushing for that perfect lap, Hans embodies the spirit of Gridlife and the Konig Wheels ethos, showing that precision and perseverance lead to success on and off the track.
