I think that was me? I was on a side road somewhere around platte and got the thumbs up from someone on a garbage truck (although i did think the person was possibly signaling the driver). lol

Car is a '93 blue metallic hardtop (aka smurf blue). :)

Nah, it is NA. Needs a suspension refresh (what MR2 really doesn't need some kind of work?) so I'll have to get started on that sooner than later. :(

Heya Nate - long time, no hear. :) Btw, still have those parts for you ;) New build is very slow - ok, it is stopped at the moment. New job situation will do that to you. However, I am working on getting it back on track and *hope* to get started in the next month or two. Always subject to change (change is the only real constant).

I actually have a set of tein springs (not on the car); I did not like them in an auto-x environment. I found that they didn't inspire much confidence in quick side to side transitions; once they set in a steady state turn, they were ok to good. But the initial 'give' from being a progressive spring didn't make me comfortable in slaloms at all.

Coilovers it will be... thinking maybe just going with KW V3s at this point.
