Philadelphia Car Meets
I was thinking about rolling up in my Mazda. Just dropped off the parts to JNZ. That Purple color is a special color and won't ship from California for about a week 
Anyways I'm having second thoughts on the STOCK STRUT BAR. What do you guys think? Too much? Think it'll take away from the valve cover? I like the stock strut bar and wanted it to stand out so I figured why not go with the same color.

I say get it flat back, or pick up the Carbing bar and coat if black. The piping on that thing is humongous, and would look badass in your bay. Some carbon trim will set the purple off nicely too.
My E30 got hauled today by the PPA, wtf. Now I have to spend my Evo money to get it back before the storing fee piles up!

Yea, it looks like something is developing out west. It may not hit until later about 8 or so. If that is the case, I will already have 7 runs in!!!
I am still planning on going before 5.

My wife just got an 06 Cooper S 6-spd back in March. Its a fun little car to drive. It handles like a mother****er. I bet its quicker through corners than my Evo, although it would just get murdered on any kind of straight. It makes great low-end torque but could use a little more power up top. Also, the gears are super short, your shifting all the time. On the 3-4 upshift I would say the revs only drop maybe 400-500rpm or so.
Tell you what Jay, I think I'm going to drive it to Oakes BBQ tomorrow, if you want, I could take you out in it so you can form your own opinion. Let me know because I'm not sure what her plans are and she doesn't really like driving the Accord.

Speed use to cover it, don't think they do anymore, to busy with NASCAR. Always fun to watch, guys that enter that race are crazy, you def have to have a screw loose to want to do that.
That really sucks, what happened?
