    Default A hearty hello..

    I have been lurking for a couple of weeks here and I thought it high time that I introduce myself.
    My name is Ryan Moore and I became enthralled with all that is Miata/Eunos/MX-5 since they first came out in the fall of 1989.
    After a couple years of yearning to no avail, I became the proud owner of a 1990 Classic red (#19,920) in February 1994. This was during what I affectionately call my "no-kids-yet-seem-to-have-discretionary-money-and-time" period of my married life. Fast forward to present, and 2 sons later, it has become more evident that I need to spend more quality time with the too-often garage queen NA.
    I had rogue install some Koni adjustables a couple of weeks back with some FCM bumpstops and was thoroughly pleased with his work and the ride & handling results. I would highly suggest that anyone considering this move on shock installation to give rouge at miatasolutions.com a call. (no affiliation, just very pleased with his work).
    Sorry for the long winded post.
    I hope to see you guys at Hallett in Tulsa this September.

    My total autox experience has been about 4 or 5 runs back about 9 or 10 years ago. All it did was make me:
    1. want to get better at slowing down to speed up (so to speak)
    2. realize that a driver's talent can overcome a car's shorcomings
    3. my car's ability was not tested very much by my decided lack of talent
    4. I do remember lusting after a original Mini Cooper that flat out stole the show whenever he ran and embarrassed more "testosterone-laden" vehicles.
    5. Methinks me wants to try it again, this time with better rubber.
    6. try to actually learn something at Hallett this September.

    Welcome,
    Seat time is all you need....Looking forward to seeing you at some events. I have recently met Rogue myself, well a few months, but have seen his work and enjoy his company.
