Sound policies are sucky, but necessary. I mean we all know when a car is annoyingly loud, problem is, sometimes the db meter doesn't agree with your ear. Some cars that sound awesome , end up being too loud. However, if we were arbitrary about it, someone would really get mad because it would just...

Well, with a variation of that magnitude on the official sound meter it just doesn't make sense to me. I guess it's something to tell whoever complains about noise levels that "we have a device that monitors sound" to show that there is an effort being made to enforce it, but other that it...

So what is the point of even having a meter there?

How is it possible to go from nearly 105db's to under 90? Was the exhaust system R&R'd to aid in dropping 15+ db's?

Hell hath no fury like a Miata driver scorned.

Man, you were puttin' it on'em. Hopefully it's nothin' expensive.

Good to see people taking more of an interest in their overall health. It really makes you feel great in the big picture. Being a previous fatty at 245lbs, you've just got to use a system that works for you. I chose the P90X route and lost over 60lbs in about 6 or so months...and this was without ki...

I'm sure Bradley knows the Elise is better for autocross...but coming from the "not really concerned about autocross class" mindset, the GTR would be worlds more fun.

Try to rationalize it because it's a "safer" car with AWD. I do that with my Jeep because it's "4wd".

Unfortunately I was too....with only 3 wheel drive and a knot in my winch cable.

Sure it's not a "rut"?

If you look close at all my calipers they're actually red. That lasted about 2 track events and they burnt off back to dark grey/black again. I said F-it.

I used the "hi-temp" stuff, to. Just tryin' to save you some bucks...

I had thought of this a few years ago, but got discouraged when I started added up all the negatives.

Hope it works out for you, I completed the survey.
