Sweet! Can't wait to see the shirt.
Somebody needs to send me the file. pm me for email address.
I can get the art setup and produce the logo on a shirt before April meet.

if you can get Ralph Lauren shirts for 35-45, I'll definitly take one!! But could you not cover up the logo? I love Ralph Lauren
RL logo is on the left side (over heart) where I wanted the logo to be. Ahh, isn't that sweet Andrew? I love MWSCC.
Placing our logo on the right side and leaving the RL logo alone will be much easier so I will go that route.

Shirt is a fantastic idea!
I can use Ralph Lauren Polo shirts and still be around $35 - $45 for MEMBERS ONLY. MSRP is $75.00 for the shirt by itself. I will try to be at almost half that price with the logo!
I will have to ensure that the Polo logo can be covered up by our logo's badge. If not I can get generic shirts. I would like to provide everyone with Polo shirts since they will last a lifetime.
Please send me the file ASAP. I would like to start making these before the April meet if possible.

BooYah!

Reminds of the roar Godzilla makes when he is about to go fight Rodan.
Sounds like a monster there. I love it. When a video sounds that good on my laptop I know I must here it in person!

Don't you remember the video of fourring taking a turn down in Brown County?
Like I said earlier - driver skill and good tires are more important than subtle differences in hp or suspension.

The NA1's were 1991 - 1996 and were 270hp 5 speeds. The 95 and 96's had Targa as an option (which added a bit of weight)

The NA2's 1997-2005 had the 290hp 6 speeds. The "facelift" occurred in 2002 and added about 6 mph top speed. All NA2's are targa's except the Zanardi edition which is the highest performance NSX you get in America)
The advantage for the older cars are the 150 lbs. Once you start adding headers, exhaust, straight pipes and so on you have shaved quite a bit more weight and have only invested a couple thousand more in the car. When you add the mods to a 97+ (na2) you end up with the same hp but still weigh an extra 150lbs and have spent double the money on the car.
EX:
91 (na1) cost $27,000 w/ 270hp - add headers($1800), exhaust $(1300), intake ($400) = 310hp for total cost of $30500.
97 (na2) cost $40,000 w/290hp - add headers ($1800, exhaust $(1300), intake (400)
= 310 hp for $43500 because the NA2 sees very little gains over stock with the same mods.
For the difference in price you can install lightweight seats, and several carbon fiber pieces, and lightwieght coilovers/clutch that could quickly bring the 91 down to 2600-2700lbs and still be under $40000 if you can work on it yourself.
The older ones are a tuners delight.

I don't think BP has ever given me any problems...I've been using it for years.
The buildup from BP gas takes several years to build up to where it becomes an issue. It only takes about six months of using Chevron with Techron to effectively deal with this buildup.
No one should notice any difference after one fill up unless the gas is from the worse part of a company's resevoir tanks (too much moisture in the gas).

Not much difference on track or straight away drag. My 94 has 150lb weight reduction with light chromoly flywheel/racing clutch and an xtra 20hp over stock. When I raced S2000 from 35 -80mph (secluded stretch of interstate) the NSX was about two car lengths ahead at 80.
I would have to imagine stock vs stock would be nearly even. When it comes to the track it has more to do with driver skill and fresh rubbers/brakes than torque so I don't think the hp gap would matter for much.

No need to bleed! You all are like some 1800s blood letters up there in Indiana.
Tape the area around the calipers to the best of your ability. Spray down with some coats. Once cured drive for a little bit and your pads will take the paint right off with some moderate braking. The paint will also come right off the rotors with some braking.

Are you referring to a good percentage of the Fchat folks?
They are particularly fast with their penmanship due to all the typing on their keyboard instead of driving.

That's a challenge to the Fcar owners out there.
