^ Yep, the angle is fine, thanks. I think you meant "correct" angle, not "right" angle, if you know what I mean.. :D

^ Yes definitely. That's the next mechanical upgrade along with the Silk Road shocks I got from Japan.

one autocross day, no dyno, no road racing. I know, lame. :(

I'm in the middle of a repair on my son's 350Z, then I can return to the Roadster.

Hey guys, I made a video of my carbs -- specifically a sound that just one throat is making.

Venturis are all snug. Ideas?

Those look sweet, but I don't know if I can give up my 14s yet. I'll test one of my wheels on Mike's car to make sure it can't be done.

Just been driving it. Except for this frigid week!
I blacked out the rear boot area, it looks cleaner. I'll post a pic.

Getting ready for an LSD, 5-speed, and 4.11 soon. My 4-speed was always notchy into 1st and it's not getting better.

Going to try and "clean up" the car for the next Solvang. 8)
