I have several questions that may stimulate some discussion:

(1) Has anyone been successful at improving the lumbar support in the Miata
    seats? I'm thinking about taking mine apart and stuffing in some more 
    foam to see if it helps. 

(2) I recently installed a K&N air filter. I noticed slightly better 
    performance above 4500 RPM. I also noticed that after the engine gets
    warm the idle speed will drop very low for a few seconds when I take my
    foot off the gas. Is this related to the different flow characteristics
    of the filter? Is there an adjustment for this?

(3) I'm getting into SCCA solo II autocrossing in C stock. I bought another 
    set of facory wheels and mounted Yokohama A008-RSII's. I installed 
    Tokico Illumina adjustable shocks. I have a Suspension Techniques
    25mm front sway bar on the way. My question is what shock and alignment 
    settings to use that will give good results autocrossing but won't wear 
    out my street tires.
