Southbay NCR meet is this Wednesday again and the weather is suppose to be good. I need to fix a fuel line issue but I intend on going (but, road to hell and all that).
Also I'm debating whether or not I care to do pre/post dyno pulls before installing the MS or turbo. Turbo hardware should be here soon, so I should get moving if it's going to happen .
Also, NCRC posted up their track day schedule. I should really sign up

Probably won't, for the same reason I didn't go last time. Not sure I want to drive an hour to Campbell in the Miata so I can hang out for an hour, not drink, and drive home an hour in the Miata so I can be home by a reasonable hour (10 in this case) :P

And now for a story told through pictures!
I should really get a boring bar, seeing as I already have a tool post mount for one.
Also I put the fuel line back on that had popped off and replaced the regular hose clamp with a fuel injection clamp. Started right up. I need to order a push lock to AN adapter...

Careful when welding those. I did like an inch at a time, 1 on each side. then let it cool for 5-10 minutes. It definitely still warped a little bit, but is still totally useable/leak free.

Cruising home on the freeway, in the slow lane doing 65 and I look over to see who's pacing me in the next lane, and whad'ya know, CHP...
Fortunately they just paced for a bit more and then sped off. The car is legal enough that all they could do is give me a fix-it ticket, but it still unnerves me.
