I even made it out there on saturday night. I was there with Steve and Greg until I left around 6:15. That was my first drive in in probably a year. Bert , I was hoping to see you out there.

Well the vert is my daily driver, so it sees use year round. It was just a wee bit too cold saturday for the top to be down though. 
Any time it's over 50 degrees though is fair game ! I need to come out more often. I could learn a lot from some of the people out there. Next project is new shocks/struts. It's got 123k miles with original shocks/struts. It will probably feel like a new car once those are replaced !

I did mine a few months ago. I noticed a big difference. Don't make my mistake though--buy some adjustables; shell out the extra money. I got the Tokico HP non-adjustables. They're really good shocks, but these days I've been getting more and more irritated with the bumpiness on my 20 mile commute on I-40. They were great at VIR though.

I have been looking at the Tokico HPs as well. They are definitely more in my price range than the adjustables, but I did find the KYB AGX models for $323.99 (plus $29 s/h) on ebay. New of course... I may go that route instead. I have no plans for anything other than a better handling vert. With 123k miles on the original struts/shocks , just about anything has to be an improvement !
The next upgrade will be the Racing Beat springs/sway bar/bushing kit. Can anyone suggest someone in the area that can do this work for less than an arm and a leg ? ... Just looking to put the new struts/shocks on for now. The rest will come later...

concerns, opinions....

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas everyone, I hope everyone has a safe happy holiday. Please take time to remember why we celebrate Christmas, and remember those less fortunate than us.
and speaking of less fortunate.....
I get to help my brother put on a ROOF he is in the process of building a house. I remember when I was 13 I helped the same brother install a rearend in his 65 mustang on christmas eve, cold as hell. Oh well at least we get to spend time together.
Merry Christmas All

whats up,
This is the longest this thread has ever gone without a post. I hope christmas was good to everyone.
I'm taking Tiffany out of service for a couple of weeks. I need to fix a irritating oil leak (either the oil pan, or turbo oil line) I'm gonna fix them both to be sure I also am taking a few things of the engine to be powder coated.
Happy new year
