Nice, now we are doing plugs for our favorite... I use a nice little company in Huntington Beach that offers both off the shelf, and custom blended motor oils and gear lubes. http://gopurepower.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

They also offer a reusable oil filter. :thumbup:

I got turned on to these guys by the factory Mazda racers, if it is good enough for them - and they have the resources to test lots of different stuff - I knew I would be happy with it.[/quote

If we are doing plugs, I will add Red Line Oil to those under consideration. I've been a wholesale distributor for them for years so I am a little biased, but I didn't start handling the oil until after I did my own independent research. A couple of our own racers carry it. Steve of C2 Motorsports sells it. You can also get it from Brain Robertson. If you have any questions about Red Line Oil, see me at any of our races.

Thanks for FINALLY letting us know that you rep REDLINE! :thumbup: :P

MT-90 worked wonders in my Suby MT and has now breathed new life into our 100K Miata tranny. I didn't realize until recently that REDLINE recommends MT-90 as their standard recommended Miata NA/NB tranny lube. Don't know if it's recommended for NC's.

:ibrightdea: WE SHOULD HAVE AN AREA WHERE MEMBERS CAN LIST WHAT THEY REP ... so that their fellow members can support them if they want to buy those products anyway. It would be nice to have them delivered to events. :ibrightdea:

No, they pay for advertising on this site just like the main sponsors on this board. A 1-time mention in a post on a thread is fine but to have a dedicated area would be in conflict with the sponsors (ChaseCam, Elite Tinting, FMC Loan Pros, etc...) who paid for a full year's worth of advertising on this site.

Doesn't having your windows tinted enhance the quality of your in-car video. :lol:
