Also, I just used Dimitris' wiring instructions to add whatever I want on the DB37. So far 5v ref and tach out. Gotta ditch the little plastic grommet in the DB37 case pretty quickly.
Headlights are a huge improvement.

If you are installing HIDs or high end bulbs in your projectors, and you already have the headlight assembly apart, it is quite inexpensive to buy a clear lens and put it in yourself. Inexpensive being Clear Lenses - Components

Not much to report. It is really hard to road-tune a 300whp car when it's raining, and it has been raining pretty much nonstop since I finished the car. I'll probably give in and rent a few hours of Dynapack time to get everything fully dialed in. There's a small chance that I'll run out of fuel pump before my 425whp target, and a slightly larger chance that I'll slip the clutch (ACT XT + custom dual-material disc), but I have backup plans for both of those if they happen. The next big project is the T5 installation which should start around March.
I did throw a Sylfex Auxmod in the stock head unit on George's recommendation. Much better than the FM radio

Little known tidbit,
they said if I permanently mounted my hardtop, it is not a convertible. They said, and I quote "it's a hardtop." That is why I can still race under 13.5 with a Miata, I get asked all the time.
There are extra rules for cars faster than 11 seconds though.
Git that tranny on!

If the stock ones are twisting or spring deflecting that much, methinks you've got bigger problems.
Now the stock bushings in the stock arms allowing a lot of flex as compared to the poly that I'm sure V8R sends out with their upper control arms is a whole another story.

I had a set of bronze retrofits and ES bushings for Acamas, but they ended up getting sold to a customer who needed them worse than I did. I have another batch of sleeves on the way and one set from that batch is earmarked for Acamas. I definitely get a little wheelhop even spinning tires from a roll.
And I am far more worried about the 6-speed than I am about the OSG.
