So Kevin and I decided to add a limited slip rear axle..

It is the Mazda limited slip rx7 axle..

So far it's working very nice.. I will be learning the new handling. It is quite differentâ€¦

The brakes now are seriously like "right now"...

I did a 100-20 stop on an off ramp.. Very little drama, except my iPad took a running leap from the package shelf to the passenger floor...

Thanksgiving of what year? You didn't do that in less than 4 months, did you?

Ummm.. guilty..

Good for you. Best thing about these cars, even though becoming collectible, is that driving them regularly and even a lot, is way better than letting them sit. They were meant to be driven.

Absolutely..

And with the turn it on and drive wherever you want reliability of the SR20 in it, as long as I've changed the oil in it within the last 2500 miles, jumping in and going wherever on a minutes notice is done without much thought..

love this car.

R.I.P. GoPro....

It left the car and was not seen again...

I guess I will be shopping soon.

Again??
How about a tether like on a surf board?
And on the next run I'm going to follow you, I could use a Go-Pro. He,he,he

Yeah,I had it down low behind the back tire.. I'm guessing too low.. Didn't hear it come off so there was a 7 mile window where it could have fallen off.. So it either went over the cliff or was collected by a bicyclist..

It needs a GPS inside so you can find it. Kind of like the Find My Iphone app.
