[silverpro5]

shaved the door trim and waxed her DOWWWN. I'm very happy, anxiously awaiting my celica corners and HIDs.

my f-ing flywheel is warped, something in the rear end is squeaking, and my rear brake pads make a TON of noise, but I still love her.

Put her up on stands and painted the calipers with some Folia-Tec red. Also gave the wheels a good cleaning front and back since they were off the car.

Nice work!!

Replaced some of the vac lines with new blue ones

What did you use for an antenna? I have a glass mount one that looks like a cell phone antenna. You can see it in the attached pictures.

Yesterday... took her up and around Mt. Tabor here in western VA for some of the hardest running she's ever been through as part of the VT car club bi-annual after-carshow cruise. About 150 total miles of the most curvy and altittude-varying roads I have ever seen - after the first leg my rear brakes were smoking and boy was that engine hot after keeping her up around 5k RPM most of the time. I wish I had some pics but unfortunately I was focussing more on driving at the time... So anyway, does anyone know of some pads that are better than stock but still have good day-to-day performance and little brake dust? I know nothing about brake pads...

Hawk pads

Yesterday: Washed her and took her for a few laps on Road Atlanta. It was so cool! They oversold the tickets for the touring laps and there were a few douches that were holding up traffic, but what can you do? I got to take 10a/b and the esses at 8-9/10ths (still have to driver her to work on Monday lol). That was just nuts. It took them a while to get all the 'parade lap' folks off track, so we were sitting in grid for a while. Once we started moving, they kind of rushed you on track, so I wasn't thinking about until I was shooting for the apex of turn one. It was a lightning bolt of "holy crap. I'm on ROAD ATLANTA! HELL YEAH!" I can't wait to take the Miata to a few PDXs out there. Kirk racing needs to hurry up w/ my rollbar already

Hawk pads

Any particular model? I think I've heard some people mention HPS?

Yep that's what i had. They held up nicely at buttonwillow raceway and lasted quite a while for daily driving after that.

 

[aMaff]

Their main ones are the HP Plus and HPS. I honestly wouldn't put the pluses on my daily driver. While they're AWESOME pads, it takes a while to get them up to temp, and they're really dusty, and REALLY noisy. The HPS is a far more streetable pad, with better cold bite.

I have a combination of both on the Miata. HP+ front, HPS rear. It's kinda funny, the HPSs squeek (very little, but still) when they're cold, and the HP+ squeak when they're warm, so no matter what, I've got some brake noise in that thing. However, when I get on the brakes once they've warmed up, it's like I put out a damn anchor lol

w00t! Some1 finally put pics up:
after turn 12 going under the bridge / start/finish straight.

 

[whitemp5seattle]

cool! looks like a shot from Gran Turismo or something

 

[magnumP5]

Well I managed to find some pics of me running during the cruise yesterday. These pics are courtesy of AlienInv8r who has the Ti MSP in the last pic. Unfortunately we weren't really pushing it in these pics because we all got stuck behind another car...

Just finished putting the 3 point strut bar in the P5....handles like a dream in the turns. Stearing is improved DRAMATICALLY. Thanks to velburg for all the help, cuz WE DONT NEED NO STINKIN' BRACKETS! lol.
