QUOTE (Box @ Jun 9, 2014 - 3:43 PM)  Nice, beat out other handling cars that had more power. Fiat is at 2300lbs with 98bhp. Mini at 115 and 2500 or so. The Matrix is heavy but powerful, the car is on all-season tires so he couldn't put power down. -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

For some reason I was thinking they had a little more power than that. I knew the XRS was up there, same engine as the 7GC GT-S but slightly de-tuned if I recall correctly. Still it came down to driver ability and you won, so victory drinks!

Could go to 185/60-15 to get some cheaper tires that'll last longer.

The stock size tires are all ultra high performance summer tires, so they don't last long at all. Going to 185/60-15 it's actually a tad bit shorter in diameter, but only make for a 0.6% difference on the speedometer, so not even noticeable.

Your first favorite thing is to search craigslist all hours of the day to find your next dream car!!! Buying musical instruments off eBay, but sure.  I did find an '82 280ZX, but it's white and red two-tone(same scheme as the 10th Anniversary Black Gold) with red interior. I suppose I can overlook it all since it only has 107,000 miles and it already has new tires and brakes. Maybe it won't have lots of rust hiding.QUOTE (ClevelandGaint @ Jun 10, 2014 - 1:38 AM) Nice short throw and bright ass dash light!!! Currently installing my led strips into my cluster It's an auto.  Pioneer FH-X700BT or FH-X500UI? I thought about getting one of them before I found my Sony for $50, I think they look pretty nifty. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

I'd check your clutch for slipping. Get up to 30 mph and throw it into fifth and then floor it, look for RPM's rising while the speed stays the same. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
