Well, actually we only had about 40 cars show, and maybe only 10 interesting cars from that. THEN the cops ran us off after dinner ... sheesh. I only stayed for an hour.
Oh yeah ... you're the one that dumped the 200SX for the Mazdaspeed Protege! Hoping NOT to be the only Mazda out there this time. :)

Theres a multi-make-and-model sport compact meet coming up if anyone wants to help make a good Protege presence. Ive been to these before and its a lot of friendly fun and good, reasonably priced food too. The restaurant lets us angle-park our cars for display and is really cool about it...
I use 87 (manual RECOMMENDS premium but not necessary) because I'm cheap. I up premium on special occasions. No problems. It's not the fastest straight-line car in the world anyway, I got it for the handling.
87 gas here in Dallas is $1.55-1.60 last time I filled up. I use the CRX a lot now...
Actually reading over the online reviews here from people who have tried both side by side, the TWM and Kartboy shifters have about the same effort, so that probably ain't it. :D But thanks for the tech insight!
I think the big problem is going back and forth between the CRX and MP3 ... the CRX...
Update on original thread
OK, popped off the snap ring (which gets easier once you've done it a few times) pulled her up and coated it like crazy with white lithium grease. Originally I gave it a medium coat with dielectical grease (it's what was lying around).
It's a little better, but I'll...
