  1. Finally bit the bullet and adjusted my front camber. Will see at the autocross tomorrow if it makes a difference!

    This is the right-front, which was WAY bad to start (slightly positive). The left wasn't so bad to start, and not quite so drastic an adjustment.

    After loosening the nuts, how did you lever the shock to move?

    Did you have to raise the car? One wheel off the ground, or both? Or none?

    This is a simple adjustment and is camber only to the greatest extent. I just loosen the bolts use a rubber tipped pry bar to move the top of the shock and tighten the bolts. No lifting necessary because the toe movement is minimal.

  2. Actually, I kind of like the smaller rear picture. It "fits" the rear view mirror better and I get MUCH LESS headlight glare at night from those following me. The car is darker in side all the time. With a black on black color combo, the car is dark inside anyway.

    With two side mirrors and my experience riding motorcycles, I stay very aware of my side traffic, so blind spots really are not a problem.

    The car looks like someone stuck a speedster top on it, which is cool with me. It is about two thirds the size of the original plastic OEM window. Which I say...good riddance!

    I purchased the Stayfast cloth material for my 2002 rather than the more expensive version Robbins offers... example: Haartz® GmbH German Cloth Toppings Sonnenland® A5 and A5S (Singed) German Cloth. Which is finished on both sides.

    This was because the inside look of the cloth was unimportant since I have a headliner, unlike the earlier models. The exterior looks OEM (or darn close), and sheds water like a duck.

    A car stereo store owner in town has an 2003 S, black, with a grey top. When the weather is nice I plan to get picks of our cars side by side for comparison. (FYI, I'll pick his brain about getting good bass in the car as well when he gets his car set up the way he likes it). I told him about Renntech.org. He may already have joined.

    Installed a Gahn top and have found that on the 2000 box that it makes it very difficult to put the top in the service position and gain access to the engine bay. The glass window will not bend like the vinyl one will.
