Sitting calmly in the paddock at Thunderhill raceway, anxiously waiting to get back on the track. :)

Nice.. 2 of the 3 blue cars you've owned in the past few years.. What's up with the blueness :D

I guess I'll post a pic of my miata too :)

I dunno what's up with the blueness, yO! :D Dyeing my hair blue has been long overdue, too! <~~Okay, that sentence was lame! Here's a pic of my previous car in its former glory sitting in the paddock at Buttonwillow raceway, anxiously awaiting more track time.

Thanks for the compliment. Those wheels are Power Racing VS-04's, 15x6.5", 40mm offset, 12lbs. They are knock-offs of the Advan RG wheels. I bought them about 2 years ago, however I do not believe they are still being made.

The first event of the SF Region SCCA Winter Slush series is on September 29th. It'll be my first time autocrossing in the Miata. I can't wait! It'll be weird changing from an STS/DSP NX2000 to a C-Stock Miata... Hopefully I won't kill too many cones along the way.

By request, here are some pics of the NX's crusty engine bay:

Note the missing spark plug wires. They are currently on loan to someone else, thus the car sits quietly in the garage.

My CAI. I had a Hotshot CAI from my B14, and since the NX is a high-port, I could only use the lower portion of the CAI.
