Btw a yellow older mazda tried to keep up with us but couldnt lol.
Hmmmm, I wouldn't leave an 86 in the dust or anything, but I would absolutely get away! Maybe he was driving in good-boy (i-drive) mode? But even then.

Did that jackass send the correct insert adapters for your shocks?

There have been several threads on the rear view mirror issues on this and other forums. Service advisor told me that since they revised the base and screws they haven't been having any problems-he was surprised that I was having issues again until they discovered that they hadn't used the correct screws.

I actually have to worry about two jackasses, I bought them used from Simmons.

We run the same shock design, so it should be okay. I slept in today so I'll probably install them tomorrow.

Want help? I have installed and pulled them quite a few times, and I have become adept at the task.

Its the button to the rear of the shifter on the driver side of the console. Hold it down till two hollow/orangeish lights are present on the dash. Have fun and be safe.

Elliott redlighted the right side on his first run, and he coned on the right on his second run, no worries though because he still has four runs left on each side so he will get a fast clean run on the right.

He will be doing adjustments to the suspension before the afternoon runs to get more sticktion and balance.

Prosolo takes the best two out of the driver's six runs over three sets of competions on Sat. and Sun., and combines them.
