I'm deploying soon and my wife is forcing me to sell Mjölnir. :( Here's the auto trader ad... http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?ownerId=69209715&searchRadius=0&listingId=378677203 Upgrades include SVE matte black staggered 18-9/10 drift wheels with fresh...

Got snow shoes for this winter and the car has done surprisingly well for being rwd. For guys who dd in the snow, do you turn advancetrac completely off or use sport mode?

Is negative two okay?

I'm lowered on p springs and was wondering if a bump steer kit is needed. Tie rods appear to be parallel to the lower control arms and I don't really notice any bump steer. Any opinions?

I installed snow tires on my stock wheels so the OEM pirellis have to go before my wife discovers them and gets mad at me for buying the previously mentioned snow tires. They have 8k miles on them and each is 7/32" (they were rotated once). Tires are perfect - no holes nor plugs. I'm...

I can hear my right rear brake (windows down) make a clicking noise when applying the brakes at very slow speeds. Mostly annoying as the brakes work fine. I was thinking about taking the caliper bolts/pins out and lubing them up. Any other suggestions?

anyone have theirs set on the stiffest setting? If so, what are your impressions? I sucked at my first autocross last weekend (dead ****ing last) and I'm trying to blame the car. also think I need more negative camber. :(

selling a set of gt500 axle backs with approx 2000 miles on them for $225 picked up in the northern va area. pick up only and I'm also happy to install them for you. I love them dearly but they're now too loud for my prissy tastes when paired with cat deletes. buy them before I install them on...

I've signed up to do my first autocross this weekend and was wondering if you guys have any advice. I'm afraid of dnf'ing and getting my ass handed to me by miata novices. :(

I deleted the cats this past weekend and with gt500 axle backs, the exhaust may be a wee bit too loud. is anyone beside cuslo1 running and offroad mid pipe with stock axle backs and happy with this setup? I'm afraid I'm that guy right now. :(

thinking about tuning this summer and dumping the cats. I want cat deletes (I'm cheap), but it looks like the bbk fitment sucks. are the cat deletes sold by JEGS and summit racing the same as bbk? thoughts?

stock suspension is collecting dust in my basement and I'm thinking about throwing it on Craigslist (my trash might be a v6 guy's treasure). what's a fair price for the sways, springs, struts, uca, lca's, phb & brace, and associated hardware? what would you offer and what would you take? also...

I'm flying down to tampa from dc on saturday with my buddy to pick up his new '13 raptor (loaded except for the beadlocks, graphics, bed liner and extender). he's getting the front windows tinted down there and we plan on doing a bedliner, intake, and catback exhaust. who should he buy parts...

has anyone who replaced his phb brace noticed any performance improvement afterwards? I know the stocker is whimpy but is this $100 upgrade worth it?

was thinking about getting the whitelines as I'm cheap. thoughts?
