Hello everyone! On saturday I posted a picture of the new family member, and after driving it this weekend I can post my initial thoughts. First, it’s nickname is scooter, and Scooter is mental. This isn’t mental like my old Viper in terms of speed, nor does it rip thro ugh corners like the Elise. Scooter is mental because at 50-60 miles per hour I have never felt more engaged to a wooden steering wheel. I have as much confidence as a person driving a British car, with an American engine, and Japanese gear box as one could. Anywho, I’ll do an actual review and not just hail it’s praises in a few days.
Today is project day though! First thing is to seal the cabin and add sound deadening throughout. I’ll post pictures and updates as it goes, but this project should move pretty quickly. Sorry for any typos there will be no proof reading today.

According the interwebs of the morgan forum this reduces vibrations by many and also there are large gaps that allow dirt to come in from the rear wheel. The Dynamat quits the sound from rocks hitting the bottom as well as vibrations while also stopping the assault from road dust.

Yes, I went in thinking “I probably won’t fit, the ride will be terrible. I just need to get it out of my system.” Then I bought one.
