March 7th? About what time? Make sure you have the extension adjusters for the rear tokicos (I'm thinking of getting a pair for the fronts too). I have the same dampers with RB spings. The fronts started to squeak really bad this winter, but I'm not certain if it's the sway bar. I really think it has something to do with the springs and/or dampers though.

What group are these through? Through NASA, Mid-Ohio is April 17-19, July 10-12, and Aug 14-16.

I can be there to get started as early as 8 am if that's cool. I wouldn't want to start any earlier then that just out of respect for the neighbors and the impact gun blasting.


As for Mid O and The Glen, I'll be down at M.O., but I probably won't be making the trip to Watkins again this year.

The street view even works.

If you advance the frames until you are right in front of the driveway and turn 180 degrees there is something in the grass. I think it's a Chupacabra

Screw 'em. They're not my neighbors.

8 will work though. I'll make sure to have some halfway decent coffee and if I'm up early enough I'll grab some egg McMuffins or some **** like that.

I see the chalupa looking thing. It's either a groundhog, a rock, or a hairy mutant alien. Freaky.

John: I may try and go still, it all depends on what else is going on that weekend. Last year Megan and I went, then afterwards on Sunday we went over to Watkins Glen State Park. That place is freakin sweet!!


Ryan: No worries on the coffee for me. I don't drink the stuff. Been clean for 10 years now. Not saying you shouldn't make it for anyone else though.

More then likely I'll be rolling up with some beers. Usually about an hour in to working on any car I crack a brew. It's always noon somewhere.

And you don't drink coffee for taste. You drink it so you don't fall asleep under your car.

Hey Doc - you do me a quick favor? Can you check the prices on the Mazda Competition Parts catalog for the unpainted MS body kit, painted MS body kit, and see if they offer a carbon fiber MS body kit (and if they do the price)?

Just curious how those prices compare to what we can get at Westside with the C6C discounts.

Do you have part numbers? I have to look everything up by part number.

PKQSEAP for the full, unpainted kit
PKQSEA for the full, painted kit

I believe the CF kit is only available through the competition catalog so unless it's listed near the normal MS kit I won't be able to get a PN for it.

Those numbers aren't coming back from their search engine. That's not unusual. I'd have to call them to get a price.

Not worth bothering with then. Maybe call on Sunday if you're bored.

Ahhhhh...I thought you meant to track your car. That makes sense now. I will likely go to all of these as well. My 5 yr old likes to go with me.

Yes but do me a favor and delete the address from your post. I'm deleting the links after Sunday. No reason to leave addresses in regional car threads for people to find later in life.
