awesome, sounds good. im sure we'll figure out a meeting spot between now and saturday, anywhere on the way there is fine with me.

like james said, im on some 205/50/15 rt615 azenis, the rest of my setup consists of some old style flyin' miata springs(higher springrates vs newer style), kyb agx 8-ways, flyin' miata front and rear sways, flyin' miata rear shock mounts. engine is basicly stock aside from a cone filter intake and timing advanced to 14 degrees.

its ur basic 97 miata, still drooling at some 15x9 6uls and 275/43/15 a6s and running csp tehe.

hope to learn a lot :)

I hope I can show you a lot. You can really learn a bunch from riding with someone. I am not very good with rear wheel drive cars so it may be a little bit of a learning experience for me also. But after driving Disney's it seems like it will be pretty easy. I am all giddy about driving the car and I believe you have made my day kind sir. I had been looking at buying a Miata (among other cars) for a long time. When I made my mind up to go and buy Robert's R I was too late.

trick to drving a non turbo miata is gas gas gas gas gas gas and don't hit the brakes.

You might wanna ditch the rear bar. When I was running on Falken's, it was a lot easier to control wheelspin without a rear bar. With the Toyo's, the stock rear bar seems to be working OK but they're wider and stickier tires so it kinda follows. It also might depend a little on what alignment settings you're running in the rear.
