I will be out of town this weekend but will definitely be able to make it on the 23rd or 24th. Why don't you finalize a date and let everyone know. :)

What is the reason you are not running the same pads front and rear? Most people run different pad compounds to avoid installing a prop valve to adjust brake bias so I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish.

So is this going down?
Miata rotors are cheap enough. Why would you turn them? Besides, you have a better chance of warping them. If they are not severely grooved/worn there is no need to turn/replace them anyways.
Yes Sir it is....
july 23rd.... saturday in the garage(maybe a pool break or two)... come one, come all!!

I will be there around 1ish.

Is anyone planning on bringing a welder? I fabricated some seat brackets and would love to sure up a bit. I do live by the 'safety third' motto. Either way, I'm planning on stopping by.
^^ this is gonna be a problem...
BAD NEWS early birds... somebody at my new job screwed up BIG TIME right in front of the owner.... we now have a mandatory(yes, i tried) meeting at 3pm saturday!!??!!??
That means I'll get out at 4.... home at 4;30...
the car will still go up on stands at noon-ish, but then i have to leave for an hour and a half for the meeting....
If you wanna be an early-bird... you may consider a swim break(at your own risk and liability... sorry, legal sucks), or maybe disc golf(two great courses within 2 miles... i have loaner discs)... or, just keep workin'......
for everybody else, I'd say 5pm.
This really sucks, i know, but the boss is the boss and his restaurant does make my money.

Lee
OK... 5pm the carnage begins...
PM for phone and/or address.
