Haha yeah it was hilarious. All the way up there she's like, "James you need to save your money and not just spend it all on your car, you don't need your 5speed right away"
As soon as I park the car after my first run she says "James, save your money you need to get 5 speed right away! Then proceedes to tell me that the next autox is the 21st and we need to go hahahahaha deffinatly got her hooked. Im tryin to talk her into gettin a miata lawl.
Whats all this nonsense about the tow hook?

Shes freaked out about drifting, Im not sure why. I think once I get her to ride along once during one she'll be better. Then again, a drift event will have to happen in kansas for her to ride along.
Anyone know how SCCA feels about drifting during their events? I might be able to pull it off for a bit since im still a "noob that dont know how to stick"

yea if you go to an Official SCCA event somtimes they might even penalize you for going sideways on accident lol
now there is Non SCCA sponsered auto-x where i live and they usually expect me to go sideways then they get all surprised when i stick LOL
actually there is one corner on the Morosso track that i do a little inidial d move the get through the corner faster but Morosso dosnt comply with SCCA rules so i guess you can call it club racing? ill post a pic of the corner if i can find it.
i saw a porche take the corner sideways and i was like **** ima try that he got through there faster then anyone else LOL

Florida gets all the good stuff. At my last autox I was gettin pretty sideways... but so were a couple other people... I don't know.. This guy got on the mic and was like "next up is number 55 ______ ______ our local drift king", and the manager hopped on and was like "no no we dont drift here haha maybe he's our slip and slide king haha"
That kinda sucks... oh well I'll go get setup for grip

Today I added some preload to the coilovers, fixed my popping noise. and added a little bit of height to the rears. Beautiful. I want lower but Im worried about the negative effects.
I also got bored with the stiffness of the ride. So I added 6 out of 10 clicks to hard on the rears and 5 out of 10 in the front. They were both set on 3.
I think these were supposed to be rediculously stiff?
