Alright...I won't be doing the carbing bar for my car because 1. I don't have it yet and 2. cuz chris told me it involves messing with the control arms, so I'll take it to a shop and let them do it.

I'll come by and help with the spring installs. I installed my teins myself, so I have knowledge on how to do this.

thanks hockey.

btw lemme know what shop you go to for the bar cus now that you mention control arms, i think mine needs to be checked. i went to a private nj inspection center, and a recall popped up for the control arm. took it to the stealership and they told me it was already "fixed" since the steering tends to move slightly to the sides at times (already did computerized precision aligment). i told them it could be that it probably wasn't properly "fixed" and they said "$99" to inspect it. I told em to take a hike. But they did do a recall for "low engine power"...can't complain about that one, my 8 feels peppier on 1st gear than before :D

Hey, Mike. I'm feeling lousy, came down with the flue last night so I won't be able to make it. At least there'll be one more parking space. Hope someone else can bring the doughnuts!

Was good to see/meet everyone, I can't wait for warmer weather!

Thanks to everyone that helped Espeeecccially to Mike for parts/help, Chris for help and the ride in the super fast Barbie car... even though he molested Mike in the process - I HAVE PICS TO PROVE IT!!!!!!! Ted helped paint a caliper! Wooohooo.

I tried = fail.

Where are the pics of me accidentally painting my fender with red caliper paint?

Here are some camera phone previews! Banned?

Chris <3s Mike.

Picasso in action.



Finished product... OEM front lip, front splash guards, rear aero flares, expertly painted red calipers.
