Yay, one more thing to worry about.

Seats are turning out to be a lot more hassle and money than I was expecting.

Will Chez Summit be open for the FATT IC, or do I need to brown bag it?

Oooo... Never been on Jefferson.
Pure Domination in the Miata there. Fun track.

Slippery as snot in the wet.

They have Pizza for you. And Donuts in the AM too.

Sadly nothing edible for me.

Matt, swing by my place and we can pull em, reassemble and reinstall. I have air, compressors etc.


I went through 3 prototype KWV3 coilovers that had noise issues so I am pretty familiar with coilover noises.



Loading (or not) the suspension will not cause noise (but will effect ride height and preload response due to bushing loading).


Sounds like the top hat may not be completely seated (shock shaft have lip for the top hat to rest on).
A Air Ratchet makes short work of tightening a top hat bolt to the shaft.

Not a bad story about Miriam, she wears the same outfit all the time.
She's still a hottie though.

It seems like Chez Summit was open last time, but I wouldn't swear by it. You might want to put an emergency snack in the car just in case.

Getting seats for the Miata was a PITA also.

I bought a MOMO start seat, that barely fit, had to sledge hammer the transmission tunnel and screw up my door trim too.

No recline, was not lower and put me super close to the wheel, which is ok for track driving but just sucked for everything else.

It was out after a week.

She is great.

I will never forget the day we were eating lunch and she asked Skip what the acronym for Fall Colors Tour was supposed to mean.
