Weston is a super cool little town and they have car shows throughout the Summer that pack the streets. Wanted to go wtith you guys this past weekend, but had not switched out the Hoosiers and they just don't seem like great road trip tires, ha. Thanks for posting and looks like you not only had a spirited drive down there, you enjoyed a few spirits upon returning home!?

Hi Vettel-ish do you mind sharing part numbers for both reservoirs and the bracket? I am about to install my new clutch and want to do a divorced reservoir setup.

Here you go

I removed the mid-pipe because I have an X-pipe I was going to throw on there only to find out that I don't think the X-pipe is going to fit without a lot of extra work (Ford Racing). I know it doesn't add any power, I got it a while ago just because, so I'm debating if I'm going to make it happen or just put it back together.

Fixed my broken Watts linkage, new front pads and rotors. Ran autocross today, did OK but those course designers forget that not everybody drives a Miata. Back in the garage and up on the lift for some more work.

Ran Autocross Saturday and Sunday. Finished 3rd on Saturday and 1st on Sunday. 4 competitors in class on Saturday and 3 on Sunday. There are about 10 guys running CAM C but we just can't get them out at the same time. Saturday night I changed rear sway bar from full soft to full stiff and softened the rear shocks one click. Seemed to improve rear grip or hookup, still can slide the rear but more controllable? When I power oversteer it as soon as I back off it hooks up rather than continue sliding. Killed a few more cones and had a great time hanging out with the crowd.

well today I was in a surprise parade for a local gentleman that has stage 4 brain cancer.. local car people gathered and drove by his house to give him a private parade... there were 3 real Bosses and one fake.. my guesstimate is over 100 cars.. made the news... felt great.

This is just so cool to see support like this. Gosh, my heart goes out to that family though. Tough deal. Really neat to see someone do what they can by organizing this!
 
Did you notice a before and after difference with the spoiler?
If you are talking about the APR wing.....yes it made a noticeable difference on high-speed tracks. I remember the first time going into Turn 1 at Pocono and being amazed at how much faster and more confidently I could go around the banking. The rear was much more planted. You have to balance that with a good front splitter.

My allowances doesn't allow for a splitter AND a wing! If I'm being honest, it doesn't allow for a wing either, tires are #1 and #2 on the list.
