I can move the exhaust pipe towards the car. Granted, it's no longer parallel, but I have a thought

that it will help deflect noise

I'm close, within 1 db...

I thought mistake, nope... works out to $2 a tube so I'm happy
time to refasten the sidepipes

autox weekend.... the motorhome, it's beyond slow
and I need to fix the trailer brakes - developed a short on the trip

looking for a short - and need to replace one tire...

I also took the opportunity to repack wheel bearings - this trailer is going to get a work out over the next few weeks...

wow, the impossibility of getting a rebuilt steering rack for a C5 or C6 is pretty remarkable.... I bought another used one, figure I'll get my current one rebuilt (maybe?)


I only post this as warning - in case others figure 'they'll just pick one up'.... yeah, even my parts guy is coming up with zeros....

True of many parts that are normally stocked by many vendors.

I know, I know, I should let loose the dogs of war.... this is more a letting loose the yellow labrador of love.
cold lap
the faster laps - well, I need to learn to turn the camera off after each run so the battery was done after this run
best was 52s in a really built LS Miata, 55 in my class mine was 61

if it weren't for bad luck

this isn't the problem

if you're missing the issue - the mount tab is broken off.... wasn't in the box.

It's time to get ready for practice at Portland international raceway and Optima

by fixing a bent bracket

I think I may have touched a tree with the spoiler... oops

bracket had to come off (not fun)

and got a repaint

the guy I bought the house from owns a shop with water jet - so he's going to cut out brackets for me. I want the spoiler to move back, but Optima requires that the spoiler be no taller then 8" above the highest point of the deck.... so two brackets

measure the highest point with a box top

so these two bits...
