You know...I know you guys don't want it to rain but one of the best times I've had in a car was in Levent's car during an AutoX in the rain....and, I know my subie would enjoy it..

-little Bailey is about the same, but she's starting to bring stuff up now...so that's good. Dana is making me go do my brakes with Levent tomorrow.

The shirts look great! I'm very happy with them and the printer is willing to work with us next time to make more shirts, different shirts, or other things like mugs, hats, key chains, etc. It'll be great if we can sport them all at RA. We'll have our own little cult. We could all get the same blue shoes too!


Here are pictures...

No, it's real. It's an XL. Maybe you can save it for the second day of RA after you earn the name again.

We had a great time.

- Charlie did his thing working while everyone else hung out.
- Val got his two "new" tires balanced, and his car looks awesome with the new nose.
- WHENSON showed off his newly acquired ti.
- AC8, L8APEX, Pam, Nabil and I hung around and shot the bull with them.

Pam, AC8, L8APEX, Val, WHENSON, and I went out to eat some lunch at Williamson Brothers Bar-B-Q. The best bar-b-q in GA. We should all go over there again sometime.

Then we met Charlie over at Dynolab for a few runs. Seems we have a few coil issues. Hope I can get mine corrected before TGPR. Of course Charlie's results were awesome and Pam's bone stock blew mine away. That's great to know 1 week from our track day!

Just put mine on too and DAMN. That bite is great! I love the way they stop the car. Did they feel like they grab really hard to you too? I can't wait to try these on the track.

BTW, Speedbleeders

Val got the MS nose and it looks awesome on the red. I'll scan my dyno (give me a few minutes) and show you how crappy it turned out. Can't remember what Pam's was, maybe she will post it here.

EDIT:

OK, here it is and it's not pretty!



Notice how unstable it is all the way through the curve. Charlie's line was smooth with no sharp spikes up and down like mine. The spikes really kick in around 5500 RPM.

I went up there, test drove the car, started to haggle, and then, they turned to ******. I just walked out, despite the fact I found a GT with no wing, and the right interior.

They got upset, because I wanted them to isntall the coil-overs, sways, upgrade the brakes, etc, and they said they wouldn't warranty ANY of the car. I told them, i didn't expect them to warranty the items I change, just the drive train, which I DON'T have any desire to mod. I just want a rock solid car, with no mods to the engine. I did test drive the new miata, can you say BEGGING for a turbo? The chassis is VERY good though.

You are dealing with ******! Buy the car, mod it later and service with another dealer.
