Go Chris Go. I felt a nice change in steering response when I changed to the ES bushings. I did change the lower arm bushing as well. I think you would like them, noise might be the main consideration.

Just found out I am off for the DE next month

Mike,

Some of the clubs let you go for ride as long as you have a helmut & keep your hands inside.....but this year some of the clubs only let the instructors ride with you or vice - versa.

Rules are constantly changing....so if your interested in riding along I would just come out to an event and ask an instructor for a ride....they are very relaxed on it....and if your lucky then you can ride with your friend.

This is true. My driver side seemed to clunk pretty good, but for some reason it's not so bad any more. I've only driven the car a handful of times since install and haven't been on the track, but hopefully that will change soon.

That was before they announced that everybody now has to join the BMW group if they are to run now....rules changed since then Pat....they are now required to follow the National set of rules for AutoX & SCCA in order to comply with sanctions or what not ! ???

But basically, you have to become a member of BMW.....but you get the first event free and from this point on you will get a $10 discount on every event after. So really it's like only $18.

So ride a longs aren't possible unless it is an instructor riding or you can ride with an instructor.

BMW deal is just for BMW. The NTAXS is a separate group so I think rides are still OK.

I thought the BMW chapter is in the NTAXS and that they are now going by the set of National requirements & Rules....??? What do I know ? Lol


I might not be able to make the 24th event at TMS.....I have to register my daughter for some summer programs at the FMCAC.....and my wife is running a 5k with my daughter that morning....so I'm stuck with the bag to get her a spot for the summer. This means waking up at like 4am and sitting outside until like 7am to get her registered. I think I can still make it out there....I just might be a little late.

NTAXS is not really associated with a club, Miata's if anything but no national chapter. The do what they want to do. Jerret is one of the main guys behind that group.

Hey Pat, you weren't lying about using the PS3 mostly for Netflix. I've been playing that a little bit lately and every time I sign on it says you're watching Netflix. LOL
