Glad I don't have to do rear subframe bushings ever again. Day one of 4 day weekend spent doing yard work, starting to work on car @ 3pm, and just finished them. Wanted to wash car too, but getting dark.

Anybody going to Renegade Miata tomorrow? I'll be there.

As much as I love driving. I think I am going to stick with the CCA ones so I dont get burnt out. Not to mention half the fun is really hanging out with everyone and cheering people on and then drinking beers.

All's well.

They work great!! ...but I'm awaiting my yellow bits still, and need a swaybar, so limited success. One thing though, I had a blast. It's so nice to just attend and have fun and not worry about every little thing going on. Totally different experience for me.

arrutled · 06-01-2010, 08:17 AM

Solid!! glad you had fun!

yeah good point, especially given that you have such a long drive. FWIW, it turns out there are some NER people who enjoy a cold one or 4 after a day running cones
