While we are outside, please stay out of the right of ways. No standing in the road and such, just stay in between or in front of the cars If hoods open, only leave them open long enough to do your business.

[complacent]

i might be able to swing by for a little bit, not likely that i'll stay for dinner though.

[zaxrex]

In it to win it.

I'm in, or at least I see nothing that would present an obstacle.

As an aside (cause I know everyone is looking at this thread) where can I go to get a performance alignment? I know there's that place out in Manassas, is there anything closer to the beltway?

[complacent]

stock ride height? if you know the numbers you're looking for, any ntb or the like can set it up for you... assuming your suspension gear has provisions to provide adjustment in each variable.

[zaxrex]

I'm not worried about taking off the 110 lb/in springs as I'm worried about putting on the 300 lb/in springs. My spring compressor had trouble with the 180 lb/in springs I had on my SAAB.

Aftermarket springs tend to be easier to put on since they are so much shorter to begin with so no need to compress much.

Stock - Racing Beat - Flying Miata.

Still sticking with the FM ones, or did you decide to go differnt?

Stock...ish. I tried my usual place but they were adamant they could only do the numbers the machine told them. >_>

Sticking with the FM.

[Raven]

Precision alignment achieved! What a difference a little toe in makes compared to a little toe out.

Julian, I don't think I'll be able to make it tomorrow... My Mom and I will be at Pohanka Chevrolet looking at Suburbans. If we get done early I'll roll through. :)

Ah, that sucks, but totally understandable. Good luck in the hunt!

[Katya4me]

Shawn and I are in.
Anyone want to pick me up from Springfield Metro? :D

[Sabre]

And I just saw this... Sorry Katie!

Awesome seeing everyone out tonight!

[Katya4me]

Not a problem and I got there before you too, shocking!!! :)

Great meeting the new folks, Greg and Kaitlyn(sp?) and all seeing all the regulars as well.
