went up to groton the other day and got snowed in at a friends apartment so i stayed the night. the trip home was FUN! (sarcasm). the whole way out of the parking lot i was spinning my tires. the whole way home i was either spinning my tires or fishtailing like it was my job. damn s02's. scariest sh*t ever i tell you. so now my car is officially garaged for the winter.

Just got the LM-22's before the snow hit, the car does great. A Z3 and an MR2 were sliding all over the place on hilly onramp yesterday, I just went flying right by

I saw a blue Z4 had hit the guard rail on the highway on my way back from school. Sucks to be them.

I think I wore though the "winter" tread on my LM-22's. That or the snow was really slippery yesterday.

Good thing I have my Jeep for the next snow storm!!!(just got it registered)

The mugen hard top has no real liner to speak of like Honda one has.

6'6" is pushing the limits of the car no matter what you do. Though the Mugen seats can put you almost to the floor!!!! So racing seats might be your only option..........if you HAD to do it.

6' 6"
Sorry Cape Cod, I'm just a little guy compared to you, all 155 pounds of me.... Yes my hardtop is OEM. See


Pinky, I'm going to try the seat lower trick this winter. I'm going to try the base of my seat first and then move that over to the passenger side, then when I do the driver's seat I will have that extra knowledge and experience, plus the leather will wear more evenly......
