Damn, Cres. Why did you sell your Corbeau and harness bar? Those EVO seats look really good and a good price of $370. I am looking at a pair of FX1's as well. How did you lke yours? What's your waist size (no homo) and how well did it fit? I know it's kinda hard to describe in words how racing seats fit but the more info I have the better.
Derek, that would be greatly appreciated, but I wouldn't want you to go out of your way, mate. Plus Chicago is about an 8 hour drive from me. I'm really just looking for a rear harness bar that is NASA/SCCA legal. Like the one from Autopower for ~$570. I'm not sure a custom harness bar would be less expensive than that or how much the custom route would cost. But I'm always up for saving some money on parts. Thanks!
Nah, a full cage is overkill for me. I'm just going to be doing HPDE and local track days at BeaveRun and Nelsons anyway. I can't even picture my P6 being in HPDE4. I would have to have a real sports car by then. I'm not planning on any competitive racing so just HPDE's for me and my slow wagon. But I'm pretty sure Marlon is running the AutoPower race bar like I posted in the links, not a full cage and not from B3R. I wouldn't take my car there anyway. But thanks for throwing the option out there.
Yeah, I know between you and Josh we could weld something up but there's a lot more into welding in a cage than just cutting pipes and welding them in.
Matt did a lot of work on my friends Sentra and he's a really cool guy. Just always super busy will real race cars. Not me and my wannabe wagon. heh-heh. If I ever needed anything done that I couldn't do myself I would hit him up for sure though.

By "not as good" I was basically implying that I wouldn't trust myself to do it. There's a big difference between gluing some metal and making something that could stand up to a high speed crash. Maybe one day.
Thanks for the info, little guy. I'll probably go with some Corbeau's. Can't beat the price and quality.
I got my new (used) underdrive pulley. I got it for $16.05 shipped from eBay. It's supposed to be an RR Racing pulley but i was skeptical since it didn't have the decal. The seller was really cool and always replied quickly and assured me it is in fact an RR Racing pulley since he bought his clutch, flywheel and MM from them and they are always out of stock on their pulleys. Well, regardless I can't complain for the price. And I took it too work and used plenty of RED Loctite on all the screws for that stupid trigger plate. I'll put it on sometime next month once the Milly is running. I don't want to run the risk of underdriving anything in the winter months.

Can't beat that price, lucky bastard. Though I got a better price.
Justin, that's funny.
JK, I thought so too but if you look on their site it looks like just a sticker. I emailed them a few weeks ago when my UR one took a dump and didn't get a reply. The seller seemed legit. I asked him after I payed/received it "Honestly, is this an RR Racing pulley or just an eBay knock off because I don't want to trash my motor." and he assured me it is. I'm still doubtful but for that price I can't complain.

No, I think you're right. I think I remember seeing the old ones were etched. But it's not going on the motor until the P6 becomes more of a track/fun car and doesn't get driven nearly as much as she does now. (Not that I drive much now anyway. My work is 10mins up the road. I'm spoiled)
Haha, nice. I have about a 30-40 minute commute to work. I have driven my old '96 PGt to work a few times, but sometimes I sit in traffic. My ACT HDSS/Fidanza/etc..not much fun to drive in stop and go traffic, lol. Sometimes I luck out and don't get stuck..those are the nice days to drive it to work, lol.
at the end I was just sick of racing the legend. oh at road america.

this thing
that thing had no place being on a 4 mile race track. He wold top out like at 100. But could take a corner that wide at 100 too.
you can see me freak out in this guys rear view mirror when he swerved into my spot last race I was at. it was the start of this race.

If you guys know anyone selling properly valved coilovers with spring rates around 500-800 please PM me. oh, used and cheap.

Ahh yes, I saw that ugly thing in front.
And that video was freaking frightening. It seems like the Spec Miata guys like to play Nascar out there. Yeah, I'll stick with HPDE for a looooong time. haha.
ps- I wish I knew someone with coilovers for sale but I'll keep my eye open for ya.

Wow, someone had a Legend out at Road America? That would be painful on the two long stretches. They are pretty damn fast for how small they are though.
Spec Miata's have earned the nickname "Spec Pinata" for their racing style. Momentum cars don't like to slow down if they don't need to. Perhaps they can start selling their ****** up body panels to stance guys... they're only going to **** them up anyway.
Oh... back to Evan's car. Don't want to get my wrist slapped again...
Any progress on anything this weekend, or did Pablo use lady hands all weekend?
