I'm also taking suggestions for mobile lighting to help check spots on the Swagger Wagon while polishing and other general work usage.

Mobile or garage lights?  

[MKader17 332]

Mobile garage lights

Something I could shine on the car to spot imperfections and something I could easily use to shine into an engine bay/ work on something in the backyard in the middle of the night.

[topgun 262]

Stick a bunch of t5ho lights in the garage for work in there then find some nice led work lights from the depot or similar.

The dynamic range is INCREDIBLE

Dying to see how the pickup deals with that...on a big fat tube amp.

[///M5 2,833]

And I get to today.  Couldn't while the kids were sleeping

[///M5 2,833]

Haven't mic'd it yet, but the PA would be a guitar amp anyways so ran it direct.  Amazing pickup for an acoustic.  Not something you can run into overdrive too far nicely, but clean it is really impressive.  Could easily perform with what I have.

[///M5 2,833]

Next purchase is a bass amp, lol.  I'll probably use that once a month max.  Play the bass through the looper and guitar amp in parallel at the moment which works pretty well for making jam tracks.

I finally found a Torsen diff for the Miata, without having to sell a kidney. 

So big changes this spring: new coilovers, new rotors, pads and hoses and Torsen diff (3.9 gears versus current 4.1).

The Torsen should really help at rallysprints, every time I exited a corner I would mash the throttle and spin the inside tire

Yep.  Taylor Expression System 2 which is piezo based.  Really impressive how well it works.

Looking forward to the build pictures.

You guys are on about mud and off road tires, and the RX8 is parked as the R1R's are smoked and I don't want to put stock wheels and rubber back on.

That makes more sense, i was confused since I didn't see pickups and I thought I must be more guitar stupid than I realized.  Wouldn't take much though.  I like listening to guitars, don't know that much about them.

I will mostly play this unplugged anyways.  Couch guitar was the goal although I still will use the hard body for when I am couching exercises.

Oofda.  Too much booze in my life.

 

Time for a break.

[///M5 2,833]

Off to NM with the fam tomorrow at the CRACK of dawn

If it's any comfort, I lent the summer wheelset of the Miata to the kid with the ZCON wall.

Voodoo is the engine codename for the GT350.
