Made it home for the race. Its just about to start. Tech had one side of the control arms on when I left.
Going to head back up in a bit after the race. Want to hear the exhaust. Besides, Mexican food.

Not going to make it back up the hill. To much to do.
Hope the exhaust sounds killer. Guess I have to wait till Friday to hear it.

Thanks guys, for your help this weekend. The Milltek sounds great, not too loud, but a nice low tone. I had to bend most of the mounting brackets to get a good fit. It wasn't even close to fitting and contacted the body before tweeking. The B&M shifter is great too and well worth the effort. That took a lot of tweeking of the heatshield and Milltek resonator to keep from hitting. The easiest was the Helix control arms. The rear of the car seems a lot stiffer and there is a lot more road feel. It almost feels like the sway bar I installed on Blakes car last week. See you next week at the club meeting.

Sorry I didn't stay longer, I needed my fix. I also got some things done here, including playing with the dogs. They were feeling a little neglected.
Glad to see everything came out ok. Would hate for you to have to drive the boheamath.

Maybe I'll just pull his stock pulley off and not install the 15%. That should slow him down. Or fill the Alta filter with newspaper before I install it.

I don't think he would drive slow even in reverse.

End links should be here today.

Lol. Keep it up guys :P

Everything with the pully has been worked out. I just mailed the bad one back and the new one should be here friday. I'm very happy with World One.

Hawiian: Be scared. Be very scared.

Steve: Is there a way to turn ABS sensitivity down, or even off? Funny story as to why im asking this...
