Glad I could help, you were looking fast out there.

Thanks for bringing the trophy for me.

Huh, a stock Miata that understeers!?!?! I've never seen one. :confused:

BTW, your SI looks very nice. I didn't realize that was you or I would have stopped to talk.

I think I have heard someone else make a similar comment about a MSM off the lot. I believe an alignment cured it though.

I will try to do a better job of identifying myself in the future. :oops: Just never sure how to walk up to people and say "hey, I'm that jackass off MME!" :albino:

As for the understeery MSM, even the PCA instructor was surprised by how much it understeered when he drove it at Autox 101.

Just read about the "no annual" tech. Looks like I get to fuss w/ John while he picks my car over every event. Oh well, have more to change out upon arrival, so now I have to get there really early. Dang it!
