my power steering has austin tx slacker disease, it only works some of the time and quits for no reason. (haha) I drove my car yesterday and found some curvy roads not far from my house, car ran great, amazing how responsive it is with the new suspension setup, just feels like any slight turn of the wheel will send it darting off in that direction, it's almost too twitchy but it rides nice and is very predictable regardless, it was nice being able to go out for a joyride with no drama too.

Yeah I will likely have to replace the whole steering rack, this is a different problem than what I had before that the new harness fixed. But the rack has 125,000 miles on it so its reasonable.

I've got mine in the middle front and rear, I've not experimented with them in the other settings, I figured the middle would be a good compromise. I have my dampers at the halfway point as far as I can tell (6 clicks? I think I counted 12 from full stiff to full soft) and it seems to work well, car doesn't feel too stiff but doesn't feel marshmallowy either. My next major purchase will be new tires and and an alignment, not sure which tires to go with but my 2 rears have some damage on the top near the sidewall from being traliered last year so they need to go soon. I have BFG's now, probably just stick with them I guess.

Holy **** no one warned me about Rot Rally...
I thought it was going to be a typical Friday night...
I've partied all over... Philly, West Chester, Jersey, Boulder, LA, San Diego, Hollywood, Vegas, places I don't even remember...
Austin is mayhem... Only thing Crazier thus far is new years day in Philly.

Welcome to Texas, you haven't seen anything yet though. You need to come down to SA next year in April for Fiesta. It's a week long mega party.

The partying for ROT is deadly though, that events brings 1000's of bikers here every year and they don't mess around when it comes to partying

oh yeah, I was out running around today looking at hobby shops and skateboard stores and there's badass motorcycles all over the place, I still like the round-up weekend better though for sure as it's the same deal only with old hot-rods/customs The partying for ROT is deadly though, that events brings

dang a whole month? Geez, between this and finding out about the death of Best Motoring/Hot Version a month later is making me feel pretty silly. Oh well, I don't use craigs that much anyway and I can't look at it at work so that's probably how I missed it.

Anyone know any miata guys looking for oem sways cheap? I have mine on eBay right now starting at 75 bucks for both, i can send a link if anyone's interested.
Getting my car aligned tomorrow, super excited about the whole thing, won't have much left to mess around with mechanically after that, then I can go back to repairing/re-installing my interior and just enjoy the car until whenever. (stoked!)

I did the main fs thread, Maybe I'll put up a post in the regional one and see, I saw on eBay that they were going for over 100 bucks each and I started the auction at 75 bucks for both, hoping to get a bite as they're just taking up space. I still have all my air ride pieces for the front and rear too, probably just going to throw it away as I doubt anyone would want it.
