Discount please

They wanted which is a good price IMO, $200 to switch the strut/spring combo from one car to the other and the other back to the original.

I opted for the 6 hours of learn and ***** up bolts/knuckles option.

So did you have to swap the springs on the struts? Doesn't sound too fun. I'm sure it was a good learning experience anyway.

Still a pain.

Foo must have been offered a boatload to drive a car that probably dosnt come close to what the civic was.,,
Werd, he chose to drive the MP5 only because it was really difficult having no money for the Civic.

The EH2 civic he was driving was no longer legal for the Speed touring series. The chassis must be less than seven model years old to compete. His chassis was 1995. He had to get something new. Mazda noticed him and voila.

Although the last several times I've seen this hatchback on Speed, it has been yellow.

Nah, it's black just like in the pic. I just saw it a couple weekends ago when the series was at Road America in WA. He raced the entire race with no hood! He still was passing like a crazy fool despite his missing hood. I think the car used to be yellow, because if I remember correctly the engine bay was yellow. He has a pretty nice setup on the MP5. I have a bunch of pics and there's a few of his car, but I don't know how to post pics .

Foo Rox!

Man, Hondas aren't the be-all end-all of car racing you know... I'm sure the Mazda is close to as competitive if not more so than the Civic he had before... and at least he gets decent support driving the Mazda, we all know Honda doesn't care.

Well, I know it's black NOW, but it used to be yellow.

Which store do you work at? I work for FNANB and was surprised to see CC sponsoring a racer. Makes me want to make a racer and see if FNANB will shell out some green for some coverage.
