What's your favorite racing gloves? I've purchased a few different ones-Simpson posi-grip(latest version is the Talon grip with a different palm stitching), this a great fitting and feeling glove. The leather is soft and grippy and they have a second layer of leather on the palm and thumb for additional wear. The stitching in the fingers feels good. They are a long gauntlet style with elastic at the wrist and end. I really don't like the elastic as the gauntlet gets all bunched up with a jacket. $90-$100

RCI, I purchased an older style glove and found the stitching in the fingers to be a bit thick. I really like the open end long gauntlet style. Not a bad glove but the lack of stiching across the palm allows for some bunching. This particular version was made in the US. I'm not sure if the newer ones are or not. $60

Racequip, this glove is some type of suede-I'm thinking synthetic-which provides good grip. The feel of the seams in the fingers is very good. Like the Simpson it also has an additional layer across the palm stitched to avoid bunching. The gauntlet has elastic at the wrist and an open end gauntlet that is about 1 inch shorter than the Simpson. This glove is about $60 and can be found on Ebay. IMO this glove is a great value.

I just co drove 2 Chump Car endurance races at Beaverun-www.chumpcar.com If you are looking for some low buck fun racing this series might be for you. The competitors were pretty cool guys, laid back and fun. v6 Fbodies might qualifiy-not sure-we raced a 4 cylinder Fiero-which did catch fire on the last lap(true to it's heritage-LOL)

Some interesting opions on shocks and methods. Opinions?
21 Aug 2009
Since I bought a Miata I've had to buy some parts. I did the mandatory shock and spring combo and in the process needed a couple control arms. I looked at a popular Miata shop and they sell 2 lower control arms with poly bushings for $700 or a set of 8 for $1795 ($225 each). Needless to say I bought stock parts for way, way, way less. After reading a thread hyping these control arms I posted pricing for comparable control arms for the fbody sold as sets of 2 for less than $400 as a reference and stated that $700 for 2 wasn't IMO realistic pricing. Well, 2 posters starting giving me sh-t. Do I deserve crap for pointing out a less than stellar deal?

BTW, this does make me realize that fbody guys have some very good vendor choices.
