    Agreed, it's a bit thin and the material feels kinda not quality. That said, the material used on the GT350 wheels was pathetic as well. Why can't manufacturers use whatever the heck they made old leather wheels from?
    My GTI steering wheel is the best factory wheel I have had, I even like it better than my Evo VIII Momo wheel in my 3/S.

    I like my GTI's wheel too. It's gigantic by modern standards but it's made of super tough leather and it just feels like quality. This modern crap is easy to scuff.

    So, Doc - your car exudes, huh?
    Ranked No. #1 in initial quality

    Idiots, simply by being idiots, seem capable of achieving randomly bad things that are beyond the imaginings of sensible people.

    It's fun to drive around with the top down like an idiot in the freezing temps here

    I installed the rear MCS shocks last night. Noticeably better ride quality than the Bilsteins, but that wasn't the point.

    I expected an increase in ride height with the higher gas pressures and fat shock shafts, but thankfully it's not noticeable over the Bilsteins.









    Unfortunately, no events until next year. Likely debuting at the Charlotte Champ Tour (perfect place to debut a new car is a national event, right? )

    Installed the Karcepts front swaybar & finished up the MCS install today

    Started the day with taking a cutoff wheel to a brand new car...



    I was way too excited about the zerk fittings, I hate having to take stuff apart to lube it and this is awesome!









    A little throwback for the NA fans

    Final ride heights. 14-3/8" front and 14-3/4" rear. Maybe slightly higher than stock (1/8" or so?) but well worth being on WAY better shocks.

    Guy who works for me has an MX3.

    It exuded when I walked past it the other day - I was almost overcome, barely made it to my vehicle.

    Went for a really fun drive, took some pics:





    I went home and washed my car. Sealed the paint with jetseal and the ppf with xpel sealant. Stupid shiny Did some 303 fabric protector on the top too. Reconfirmed my great dislike of detailing though, not helped by finishing in the dark.

    Following this build for sure and looking forward to when you get it to an event.

    I'm super happy with our Mazda DDs (6 and CX9) and if I had a bit extra money, and could get something reasonable for the Stealth, an ND would be in my garage.
