They help address the bump steer issues on a lowered car and it's one part of a Miata that I've never replaced. That second reason alone is enough to justify the job.]]> http://revlimiter.net/blog/2011/03/tie-rod-end-swap/feed/ 19 http://revlimiter.net/blog/2010/11/fm-shock-spacer-review/ http://revlimiter.net/blog/2010/11/fm-shock-spacer-review/#comments Fri, 12 Nov 2010 21:08:28 +0000 revlimiter http://revlimiter.net/blog/?p=1526 I picked up and installed a pair of these FM shock spacers a while ago. Didn't get around to posting about it till a couple of months later. Perhaps they're not as exciting to me as a Japanese tail light panel or new turbo parts. Or maybe I'm sad that I'm admitting defeat and raising Sharka slightly. For whatever the reason, I've been putting off this blog post. This is no fault of the shock spacers themselves. They work GREAT.]]> http://revlimiter.net/blog/2010/11/fm-shock-spacer-review/feed/ 0 http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/07/alignment-time/ http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/07/alignment-time/#comments Sat, 18 Jul 2009 21:52:14 +0000 revlimiter http://revlimiter.net/blog/?p=216 After getting my suspension all set where I wanted it, it was time for an alignment. I went over to Boulevard Automotive (2nd and Candelaria) and had Keith work his magic. $100 and some change and I went from basket case handling to smooth and precise. Well worth it. ]]> http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/07/alignment-time/feed/ 2 http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/07/moderately-slammed/ http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/07/moderately-slammed/#comments Thu, 02 Jul 2009 00:59:03 +0000 revlimiter http://revlimiter.net/blog/?p=188 A really smart guy named Dan who posts on ClubRoadster came up with this really cool upper shock mount (known in the biz as a tophat) that lets you slam the hell out of a Miata while retaining full suspension travel. I've lusted after them for months. I finally bought and installed a set. As you can see above, it went well. Read on for the full install. ]]> http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/07/moderately-slammed/feed/ 4 http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/04/suspension-install-sorta/ http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/04/suspension-install-sorta/#comments Wed, 08 Apr 2009 14:07:51 +0000 revlimiter http://revlimiter.net/blog/?p=128 Yes, I say “sorta.” Because I didn’t take many photos. Because I punched myself in the face with a crowbar. . . . . . So there I was, all done with the front suspension and the front chin spoiler install, when it was time to turn my attention to the rear. I had my [...]]]> http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/04/suspension-install-sorta/feed/ 2 http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/03/tein-rebuild-part-3/ http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/03/tein-rebuild-part-3/#comments Wed, 25 Mar 2009 03:14:46 +0000 revlimiter http://revlimiter.net/blog/?p=114 Here we are! The final part of the TEIN rebuild tale. Part 1 and part 2 can be seen on their respective links. The UPS tracking showed that I’d come home to find my TEINs waiting for me tonight. It was not wrong. There was a happy box on my doorstep with a familiar logo. [...]]]> http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/03/tein-rebuild-part-3/feed/ 6
