Been a slight delay in all car things; landlord told us she is selling the townhouse!

We have been house shopping and found one! They accepted our offer and should close before Dec 13th!

Just before my little man is born!

Exciting times all around!!

Able to get a little wrench time in:

Replaced the stock shock bolts with these TRZ supports that eliminate the mounting bind.

Was able to get the rear springs fixed (I had one upside down and one right side up):

Fixed the rear pinion angle again (-4*) and was able to drive it!

Envy you and your weather! Are going to go after the waitlist for SickWeek?

Weather was amazing so I was able to work without too much sweat:

Removed the front sway bar:

Perfect cruising weather:

Feel sketchy without the sway bar? Mine is a little on grooved highway.

Yes it absolutely does! BUT, the front of the car lifts more with acceleration and spins less!
