Morning NEPOC!

So... I was going to share pictures of my Bavaria, but... work's network decided to be retarded and prevent me from getting to flickr to share. I'll post some up when I get home.

Long time, no see NEPOC! I've been lurking around...not posting much.

I've lost ~22 pounds since January...Starting weight was ~230lbs (nobody ever believed me, they thought I was lighter...either that or they were lying. ..probably lying lol). I'm down to 208 as of this morning...my goal is anything under 200...but I'm thinking I can get to 185-190 easily. I really haven't been doing much. I haven't been to the gym since February so everything I've lost is just from eating less.

Congratulations! I've lost over 40 lbs, from 210 to 164, mostly thru exercise and half through eating less. Now I mostly rely on exercise to keep it down or bring it lower. How tall are you? I think you should be able to hit 185 "easy" (as in, it's quite possible), but it's not gonna go as fast because you weigh less now (less fat to burn), so just be patient and keep it up.

I raised it but it's about half inch lower than my old settings. I left the bump/rebound settings a KW specs in the back but softened the front a couple. Rides very well over the bumps now. Will post a pic when the rain stops.

How would you compare the ride to Eibach? The handling? Pot hole smoothness?

Happy Monday NEPOC! Spent the weekend out at Phen's, good times. Swapped the summer wheels on, got the Progress rsb and AWR links on and a Thermal R&D cat back installed. Looking forward to the clean meet to give her a good bath.

Happy Monday is right, My boss changed my schedule to ten hour days, I use to work 7:30 - 4:00, now I work 6:30 - 5:00 and get sat-mon off IDK if you guys ever seen this before but its annoying, my tach goes backwards, its behind the needle http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/show...eversed-Messed-Up-VIDEO&p=5641098#post5641098

Since I have the day off Im off to the store right now than I plan on doing this http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/show...ainting-the-pillars-and-headliner-Black/page2

It's funny. The spring rates are lower than the MS. Pothole is a big improvement. Not the crashing it was before. Can't really comment on handling just yet as I need another wheel alignment.

The ride seems firmer but more compliant over rough road. I keep expecting it to bottom out like the MS but it doesn't happen.

Kyle, was that part of SAE race/challenge school program ?
Did you guys build that bike from scratch and such ?

the bike was built from scratch but not by me. It was made up last year and i was starting to help improve it and will be doing more of that later this year to get it ready for next spring. It is for our lunar exploration club. many many more pics to come, kinda. We got a few more pics of me on the buggy and then an assload from just random stuff around alabama and tennessee

which pipes did you get? While under my car, I realized that I don't actually have the FM downpipe and mid-pipe... they're custom made.

 

[NETC_Redd]

UCONN!

so, had a bet with my coach, since he's in kentucky, that loser of the final four game would have to do tabata intervals.

 

[Reitrof]

Morning all.

Ash, what is tabata intervals?

Still dreary here but picking up later today. Still need an alignment.

well, i couldn't get what i wanted without spending a boat load of cash (from fm/corksport etc.) so i bought them both off ebay...the wleds look awesome and another msm owner i know bought them last yr and he was real happy with the qality and fit. it's like a 200+ saving...? we'll see thurs!
