I don't know if that's drifting. It looks more like a brake balance problem to me. I need to see the datalog for full review prior to releasing smoke from the brake chapel chimney.

Now come on. You don't even need to see the datalog to know that the car needs sport brakes in the rear.

I added the sport brakes and now I've lost some throttle response, any ideas?

You've bled the clutch cylinders I presume?

Hey whoever (plural?) is playing the email games, I'd appreciate it if you stopped it.

Thanks!

With reserved trepidation I compose this reply, daft in heart, spirit, and becoming knowledge in regards to the topic of your volunteered indiscretion. Disregard of said datalog subverts my generosity and forcefully impedes with contempt amid the heart of the quickened illuminati, void of descript fact albeit rich in generalities void of facts precluded by your disregard for my consideration. I command of you, unmask yourself scoddyd and remiss in your anonymity and thank me, three times.

Don't let these guys get you down sjmarcy!! You can be as big of a (bundle of wood, or British cigarette) as you'd like over at miata.net!

In regards to the original post.

I have found a slightly bad or loose wheel bearing can wreak havoc with right/left brake balance.

Also I really got a chuckle out of mgeoffriau’s pyramid posting format in true sjmarcy style.

I will say I have new respect for sjmarcy after trying that a couple times...took me a little while to compose my post in such a way that the line lengths worked out and the post made sense.
