same same on the tires

Congrats on the S!

I have new Michelin PS2 tires and I have the same thing; flat spot shimy until the tires warm a bit...I'd say a couple of miles or so before things tighten up and smooth out.

Love my GT3 nose

Although at $900 (before paint) my GT3 nose was little expensive but in your case compared to the rest of the "bill" it is probably minor. The GT3 nose does add to your downforce besides looking way...

Ouch! on the Miata but your S will become your new love!

Your Miata looked very nice and I'm sorry it got wrecked. Never much fun but thankfully everyone is okay which is most important.

looks good

Nasty,

The 996 nose does look pretty close to the GT3. One of the reasons I put the GT3 nose on was to increase the downforce at speed. I'm not up on that characteristic for the nose you are...

nasty, post a pic of the 996 bumper

Nasty,

Could you post a pic of that 996 bumper? You know the chin spoiler that is on the GT3 is held on with some plastic tabs. Apparently it is prone to coming off on the cup cars and Jeff told...

test drive and comments

Wow!

I took it up on the west end of skyline just now and for those who aren't familiar with this road in the west hills of Portland, Oregon, it is filled with twisty turns some down to 20mph. ...

I agree w/Tom on Michael Jordan and Jess over at Stuttgardt. I had them do the oil and filters when I got my 2001 Box a couple of months ago and I think I got out of there with only a $300 bill.

PerfectLap,
Ok, I'll bite, what happened to you when you didn't hold on to the handle on the PC?
