Apparently it depends on your spring rates.

I slapped some really cheap crappy tires on the front to replace my badly worn RS2's. It's going to be winter here soon, and I will be up on blocks in the garage for the winter rebuilding the engine. I figure by the time winter is up I will have decided on my new wheels and get good tires at that point.

Drove it for the first time in almost 2 months. I can tell that the chassis is toasted.

Gonna do the steering column mod and straighten this steering wheel in a minute. Maybe.

Moved it out of the grass where I put it the other day when I put the boat in the side yard. I think it might have killed some of the grass sitting there.

Traded a passenger door and a 5-speed to Miata2Fast for a ported 1.8 head in my quest for power. I sure hope I don't end up needing a spare tranny, hahaha!

Fuel pump installed. Fuel pump/level harness installed. Cleaned up some wiring, added in the connections for the alternator and oil pressure.

Gave all my weatherstripping a nice cleaning followed by a thick coat of 303 aerospace.
