texas miata challenge 2010
So who is working on their cars this weekend for TWS?
I am building a new radiator bracket, installing a new radiator, and finishing off the front splitter. If I have time I am going to build some radiator ducting and add a hood extractor scoop.

i've got some new pads for the rear, getting the rotors turned, flushing the old super blue fluid. even though tws is not particularly hard on brakes, i don't wanna have any problems. and my rear pads have like 7-8 trackdays on them.
i'm also working on some frt. aero idea, we'll see if it works. plus a larger splitter, (getting a little understeer on real fast corners)
oil change, possibly a new oil cooler on monday. trying to shed a few pounds also. hmm, i've got a lot to do actually. i also need to replace the rubber fuel lines from the hardlines to the rail. i noticed they are cracked, hard and potential fire hazard. oh yeah, and replace my thermostat. luckily i had a failsafe stat. that stays open when it breaks. it takes forever to warm up, and when i drive on the highway when it's cold out, the car runs super cold.
