I'm getting 2 new tires. Its been less than 3000 miles since my last set of 4 new tires and I haven't done any fun driving since then. Looks like my camber is way off, even though I got an alignment a few months ago. I dropped the car off to get it re-aligned today and had a chat with the owner. Hes looking into it because he doesn't know why the car wore so quickly either. The front two were the ones that wore.
So my appointment is Saturday at 12:30pm, so I won't be at this meet either.

Ok guys, after lots of research I think I've settled on a clutch. Its the Centerforce Dual Friction ( http://www.corksport.com/centerforce...86-88-rx7.html ), which should slip a little during stop and go traffic and grab pretty good when I'm getting on it. Its supposed to be more durable for use with a lightweight flywheel and all too. Does anyone have any thoughts / opinions on it? I welcome them all.
Also, as I've never ordered a clutch before nor worked on a transmission ever, am I missing any parts to order from the following list? I'll be buying them from Mazdatrix, and the clutch kit from Corksport. The kit doesn't include any of the bearings (I called CS), so I've got to do this separately.
Release Bearing
Pilot Bearing
Pilot Bearing seal

picked up some new no-name wheels and new high performance tires for my project seven today. I think I got them for a good price, 500$
wheels are Exel 17x7 offset +42 (probably need spacers).
tires are Dunlop sp sport fm901 size 225/45/zr17

will after driving for over a year on pistons I finally got to drive a 13b again and man did it sure feel good. She performed flawlessly on the 20 minute test drive, No weird noises,rattles, clunks, vibrations etc. Felt like a new car. The only two issues I had was the OMP error codes came up putting me in limp mode and the steering wheel was at 9 o clock when going straight. I really want to drive it to the meet tomorrow but I don't think I should risk going that far so soon. Next month for sure though. Only a few items left till she's all done (coilovers, tint, and a red coat of paint.

^ I don't have your number anymore. Digital Tuning won't be taking orders for a few weeks so I need a an OMP untill I get my ECU chipped. You wouldn't also happen to have any sort of electric cooling fan lying around, the one I have isn't going to cut-it.
