Flew in on installing my coilovers when I got off work today. Still got some tweaking to the ride height to do, but I'm too tired to mess with it tonight.

These are the DGR Street set, 8k front, 6k rear springs. Separate height and spring pre-load adjustments, and 30 position dampening.

Front


Rear


I want to bring the front up 1/2" and the rear down 1/2". Got a little hot rod rake right now.

Shitty pic, but it's a shitty camera, so can't expect a whole lot.   ^-^

Damn your garage is clean.  Our garage is currently the store room.  If it doesn't go, fit, gel, or if it's not fung shooey enough in the house then out into the store room it goes.   I need to reclaim my garage!  :'(

Oh, nice car.  It's coming along nicely.

Thanks guys. I love working on my vehicles,especially when it's something fun, like this. Boston, I would go insane if I couldn't use my garage.

Got the ride height set, and took it for a spin, man it handles awesome. Got to let everything settle a bit before I get it aligned.





As soon as I get it aligned, I can put these on.

That is a slick looking car.

I have to say that the sun shine and green leaves look so nice.  I am very envious.  Our trees have just started to bud.

Thanks again fellas. Sniper I had a decent starting point from what one of the test guys posted on the Miata form, so it wasn't bad. The springs were a no brainer, fronts have very slight pre-load, the rears have none. They adjust separate from the ride height, so all I had to do today, was get it at the stance I wanted. Took maybe 30 minutes. This kit is brand new, and as of right now, I'm one of only about 20 people that have it. It totally changed the attitude of the car for the better. No more nose dive under braking, "seesawing" when going thru the gears hard, and corners flat. I love it.

No online, and I found myself running some rally. It's no where near as good as it was in GT4, but desperate times...

Got into the 1:40's at Toscana, in the dark.

Ran some A spec on my other ID, but got bored with that pretty quick, then started goofin' off.

Not sure why this old Skyline cost 200k, but it'll hang the ass out pretty good.










How bored am I? Enough to take a kart to Furburgering.

Ran a 10:44.270, and left some time out there, along with my sanity.
