As most of you know, I work at Speedware Motorsports in Redmond Washington. We have a pretty huge shop and its always filled with some sick projects and parts. We are the largest Recaro dealer in the US. We are hiring right now for a technician position so if this looks like something you could make a career out of get in touch with me.
I snapped a few pics today. The bad part about working here is that after driving some of these cars, my butt dyno is completely fucked. Anything sporting a power to weight ratio of over 10:1 feels ho hum. Check it out...
Couple of the some of the shop...

New GT3 getting new seats. I just did BBS LMR's on it last Friday. Now we are sending the wheels out to be painted black.

Looks sick. I am jealous of that shop! Damn...
How many people work there? Amazing how diverse the projects are. That's cool.
What seats are in the 2002, I see there's no logo. I want a nice seat with no logo.
And the 2nd pic from the bottom is a red X for me.

I seriously hate you. The cool part about not getting excited in fast cars is that you can throw your miata around a track and click off lap times without the added stress of "whoa this car is fast." My car is nothing special, but it handles well on a track. When I stopped thinking "wow this car is fast," I started clicking off lap times and bragging about "94whp, and street tires."
