Same old, same old. The supplemental heat exchanger hardly helped. The 7AT was never intended for the track.

Besides the balky trans, I was seriously overdriving the Michelin PSS. The coil-overs certainly helped stability.

 

Well, at least you didn't blow a transmission

The PSS is a fantastic street tire, and probably good for autocross, but sustained track speeds are likely too much for them

 

Top three street tire, back marker at the track.

 

Wash, clay bar, polish, wax (Pinnacle), seal (Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint sealant 3.0).....

Also tried out my SeaSucker bike rack. This thing is awesome, little scary at first but the bike isn't going anywhere.
Can't really tell how clean it is in the pic.

Finally don't have to borrow my wife or son's car to go ride.

 

Attempted to get an alignment done at firestone today for the lifetime warranty after having swift springs installed and they said it was too low for their lift??? I have the front sports lip as well but still first time I've heard that one. Not any lower than the swift drops I've seen on here. Guess I'll head to the dealership or check out a place called euro tune, which they recommended.

 

Really? I'm on Swift's I never had any issue with Firestone or any other aligment place

 

Bought an OBX exhaust, fit pretty well will for sure need help putting it on. much quieter then it was. had muffler delete and down pipes.

 

Full interior detail. Which, apparently having the doors open that long, killed the battery. Unsuccessful tried the pop clutch start technique, but ended up jump starting in with wifeys car.

 

Please edit for punctuation. I can't make sense of half of what you wrote.

 

The pop clutch method only works if you can ready the ignition switch, which you can't do without power.

 

I had enough power to pop the trunk. Tried hitting the start button as I rolled out of the garage, but didn’t get it right I guess . I have a side load garage, so really only had one shot at it.

 

With your foot off the clutch, press the ignition button twice so that everything on the dash is lit. Then roll the car and pop the clutch to start.

 

Thanks....

I only pressed the ignition once.

I’ll try your technique next time I detail the interior. Every time I do this the battery dies

 

Pop start saved me once in my S2000, but for a different reason. Somehow the starter wire came off the motor...

Speaking of S2000, I did a polish and C. Quartz ceramic coating on it. Wow, that stuff is amazing. Water just beads right off. Now I have to spend a whole day or 2 and do my G.

 

I instructed a young man with a heavily leaned on S2000 at the track event yesterday. A really nice handling car with loads of power. It was set up quite nicely without a tendency to spin. He had soft tires on it which had lots of grip and allowed him to catch the car the few times he overcooked turns. Makes me think I might have to locate a used Cosworth supercharger for my Miata.
