no, I heard many times that one is not necessary because the area between the front struts is already reinforced due to body design. And I repay help with beer and food. Just keep that in mind.

Honestly, nothing is hard to install except the tvs...I just haven't even seen one, although, the supercharger isn't hard to get off.

oh, btw I saw this and I got teary eyed

sad to say, but I wonder? Who looked worse after the crash? The atom or the driver?

I stand behind my decisions and want to get this done.
Im down. not this weekend, clutch install.

I think he's got you beat! Triple digits almost guarantees a revoke!

the routing of option b, isn't

the sway bar, if its the rear, is uber cake....never installed a front one...do they even make one for the front?
I've done the exhaust already...the header seems kind of tight to get at from what I can see. Not to mention all the stories I hear about breaking bolts....ugh, that would be my luck. I know the sway bar is cake, but I never seen one on though.

maybe they just didn't lubricate the bolts before trying to remove them. Nothing a little wd-40 couldn't fix.

you just gotta let them cool first. Those bolts expand under the heat and if you try to take them off too soon, they'll just snap off.

Thumbs up

Had fun and Langley tonight.
Beat my best time with a 19...something. I'll have to wait until they post it on the site to find out exactly.
Didn't do too well in the one-on-ones, but didn't really care either. Got to change the tires early.
Had some jackass in, if you can imagine, a Honda pull up along side of me on the way home like he wanted to go. I could see him out of the corner of my eye and ignored him until he pulled away. I should've cocked my cap all gangsta and messed with his ******* but I was tired.

looking like i wont be going to jail. a girl on my ship was hit last week for doing 125 in a 55 on 264 and she just got a $300 fine and points to just 1 point away from revoked license and this was her 2nd offence. And the cop wrote her ticket up as wrecless endangerment. The cop that gave me mine wrote mine up as wreckless driving

I called toward the end of the work day and they said that they hadn't gotten any rain.
Sorry, I should have posted before I left the house.
