I think Cathers has said many times he is looking for a co-drive next year. He is pretty handy with a Miata. I bet he could give lots of good tips!

Yeah, with me moving to Greenville and all he won't have a miata to drive every event next season!

He's also really handy at swapping in new bushings into ALL of the control arms. He prefers to work alone, with a hammer and a vice grip. A hydraulic press are for pansies, at least that's what he's told me.

Bob, didn't you say you needed new bushings?

Nope I used a chunk of exhaust pipe and a C clamp to get mine done. Just have never understood what is the big deal on who sell and rebuilds the shocks and stuff. Guess I'll do a grid pattern up in Kentucky.

PS I learned something about CRX driving the last time I was up running with the KY region. Wish I'd thought about it at our last event. Mike Koty will end up being happy.

Unlike my self I dont live on the internet. I Work on the !@%%##!*^^& all day long for peanuts. I get home and at times dont give a crap whats on the web. Even if I just read it. Yes I am putting a car back together, and internet shopping is not at the top of my list right now. I think making sure my two adult daughters are ok is the best thing for me and the wife.

The pictures Wheeler posted are in reference to James not using a press and instead using a vice grip and a hammer on a bushing.

You should never care what's on the internet.
