Looks awesome! Hope you can fix the rubbing issue!

Awesome, Ryan. Two thumbs up.

You wouldn't be looking for a co-pilot, would you? :drive1: *flashes money for tires*

That would make things interesting! If you want to at a few events (or all year) I would be game. It would be nice to be able to compare directly with someone. I do have two numbers reserved as well (122 and 212 I think). I'm thinking I should be pretty close to Lindstrom's M3, unless he put more goodies on it. I was already towards the top running the star specs anyway. Although I will be doing MOWOG2 in the EBS, I still have to get to the event.

I'm not too concerned about the rubbing as of now, but with more grip(weight transfer) it might be a little more of an issue than I think. I can always raise the car up 1/2" or so if I have to.

All year would be awesome. Your car is more prepared for SM than mine is for BSP, and I'm not catching the M3s without R-compounds. I'm signed up for all MOWOGs and would like to hit all the MAC events as well, but if I don't I'm not going to mind. Think about what you'd like to recoup for costs and let me know in a PM.

And how did you score a ride in the EBS?!

For anyone questioning what the EBS is, it's the Evil Bar of Soap. It was a Miata at one point in its life until it had a run in with a guy with an idea and a SawzAll.

As his signature says on the autocross forum:
"280whp + 1,930lb + 10.3" wide Hoosiers + Sawzall + really big wing = Zoom Zoom! "

That car was the roughest ride of my life.

He was looking for a Co-driver (tire warmer) for National's and two Divisionals. I'm not sure of his selection process (maybe I was the only one to PM him?) but I fit the car and am willing to spend the $ on tires and travel. I am doing a couple events with him before the big events to get a feel for the car. If I need more time to adapt I might to more away event with him, but I am planning to do most loacal (MAC, COM, CVSCC) events in my car. My goal is to not be dead last in the class at Nat's.

P.S. Matt, I started a thread on MN AX to get a little better idea on how long the tires will last. After I have a better idea I'll shoot you a PM.

Not much of an update, but I started working on the brake line & pad install. I also ordered a MaxQ Data logger. It's a GPS based unit, 5Hz update rate. A number of people use them and reccomend one. I figure I'm modding the car, I might as well spend some money of the important bit (ME).

Awesome man. Wheels look good.

I have the front fenders rolled/flared. Looks like they should clear easily now.
