4 hours. 3 broken ratchets. 2 busted knuckles. 1 man.

not bad for a full suspension swap.

Jeremy I'm in a tough spot cause I want to sign up in the worse way to see if my suspension changes and tires changes yielded enough improvement to get me the cup but the thing holding me back is I'm suppose to be coming back from vacation the saturday of the event. I had talked about the wife and my son coming back with the in-laws and me coming home by myself from myrtle beach on friday but nothing is set in stone. I will let ya know one way or another.

i has a new suspension. well new to me anyways.

thanks to frank and kristi for the OE VIII KYB's. i gotta say they are night and day from the bilsteins with the works springs.

so much better in every way. once i get the alignment sorted this weekend i think she is going to run much nicer than the setup i had before.

i think i am gonna try to sell the bilsteins (after i put the stock springs back on) and use that as money down on some coilovers.

jer, thanks to your car and my car i can tear a suspension out with almost military precision. if i have a 6 pack and 4 free hours i can get those strut and shock assemblies out and in with enough speed to make a rally mechanic blush.

not bad for a fat drunk with hand tools. except the part where i dented my neighbors car with the jack handle. that sucks.

Jeff Evans just announced that they are going to have an AWD dyno

He tuned my car while I was in the Honda camp and was always professional and
always got good results. So thumbs up for more options!
i can vouch for Evans being a great tuner. I'm pretty excited he decided to drop the 90k for the extra two hubs haha

yes i have had mine off. Open trunk remove two bolts on each side and use floss to cut the two sided tape, and remove it.

Heating up the tape with a hair dryer can also help.

Don't forget to plug the holes, have them filled or get an RS trunk.

Feeler: BeaveRun Track Day May 30th North Course

I received an e-mail from BeaveRun that they are looking to get together a small group to help supplement a club that has the track on Saturday the 30th.

The event would likely be 3 run groups as well as Time Trials

They will have instuctors available, and they are looking for people with some track experience (vs. pure first timers)

Nothing is final-Still working on the details/price etc, but post up or PM if you might be interested. Fun way to spend a Saturday

Count me in! This date just happens to be perfect. Now I would like to get a different set of front pads to try out for this event.
