you know what after a lot of deliberation, haha, I have decided that you, Diez, shall put the beautiful blue MiNE'S logo across your car, of course you shouldn't actually do this, but let me explain.

to me, what MiNE'S does as a company represents the absolute focus of the true enthusiast, not losing focus on the true task at hand, and delivering a product that no one can even touch, no matter how much time or money they have, because they just can't match the focus of the other. when the competitive spirit is always second to maintaining this mindset, the true nature of this idea is apparent. I don't know if I will be able to explain what I am really talking about or thinking but I think some people might understand what i am saying.

i am not really worried about someone disagreeing or agreeing or anything like that, but I guess I am just saying that it is companies like MiNE'S and cars like this that have really led me to grow as a car enthusiast, it is something that just naturally developed because of my thoughts and experiences, and no one can take away the state of mind I am in when I see these type of cars. in all honesty, thank you.

let me put it simply, your car fraken rocks, now take some freakin pictures
Thanks for your great comments. I agree with your comments on Mine's...I believe that ASM is sort of the Mine's for S2ks...Its an honor that you group my car with such lofty entities! Thank you.

Picture update: will have to wait until I iron some stuff out. The Axle exhaust is swaying from side to side and clanking on the subframe and also hitting the right halfshaft. I'm going to place it lower which should cure the up and down movement but the side will be harder...Gotta think. Also the Spoon Full Spec coilovers in the rear, i'm having a problem adjusting the dampening. When you turn the nobs there are no discernable clicks and also once you get to the hardest setting, the knob just keeps turning...So in essence, I can't know where I'm at on the settings. very annoying.

very lovely jack stands with jack pads you have.
I love griot's products! haha
Haha. Good eye. Yeah, I like the Griots Stuff, although some of it is overpriced. But there's something very reassuring when I buy from them. Can't explain what it is...but. Like I'll at least know that the tool will work and not fall apart on me like something from Harbor Freight. Dunno, just my opinion...

i live in down south and i took my car to pixie at rick case for my top...i can vouch for rick case and pixie...car came back better then i left it and it was there for 3 days.
Hmm,

Thanks for the referral...Is Pixi a service manager or an actual technician. Would I contact him directly. Does the shop look clean. Can you talk to the mechanic that will be resposible for your car before he starts on your car. Finally, any contact info, full name, of Pixi? Thanks a bunch for the info!

good luck getting the axle exhaust settled down, and that sucks to hear about the adjustability on the dampers, hopefully you get that worked out, it would probably be worth giving the guys at A&J a call

Thanks for the help. I think I'm going to give AJ a call to see if I can figure it out.

ahh didn't see that I think you might be right, would be pretty strange if something was already wrong with the dampers after that little use.
