    Guess it's time for an update.  Been really bummed... I new the rear shocs were too long.I guessed that months ago. Then I loan out my wheels and can't get them bac. Gotta' wait 3 weecs to find out i gotta' wait three weecs!!! :banghead: WTF!  It's my own fault for not going with my instincts. I expect a bunch of hassle with the front now too. Just at first. Mayby should have just gone with bags.  :screwy:      Then... one day and said screw it.   Put the turn downs in,fuel system.  FIRED IT UP !!!!!!!!!    :smokin: :woohoo:   Did that ever feel GOOOOD!!!  Ahhhh   the smell...          It is too loud I need that exhaust!!   If I had shocs I'd be out there testing.    My new cheapie fender covers...       Also got a new buffer...   played with burning off the paint line...Perfect!!     Now red primer,Then paint and buff.     I'm in the home stretch for this years "little" project.    Latr, Rob.   :wave:

    I DROVE IT !!!!!!    :woohoo:     WoW!!  Finally!!!!!!    :swaying: :bigsmile:    The coils in the rear are awsome!!!   It's  butter.   Way smoother   holy cow!!    And the rear discs aren't bedded yet   but are quite noticeably different! 20% more power.   Things are far from dialed. I'm going to a real high-end chassis shop for some lazer time. I can't get it to squat even. Mayby 1/2 "  diff.  It wasn't exact before.I found some damage on that side of the car too while in there. After some calls I found out it's not that uncommon. Due to the leafs. I figured a long time ago this would be the way to smooth high speeds.   Sure felt good to tear it up again!!!   :cooldancing:     It sounds meaner without tailpipes. But it drones so bad I'll go deaf. Sounds nascar!    Also... the insulation has helped more than I could have hoped!!!  It's atleast 10* cooler in there!!!     A few buggs to tune,But all in all....      VERY NICE!!!!!   It is faster in the turns for sure. And the stoppers do the job. The car "feels" way better.It's balanced now.         The only bad thing...   larger fuel line has = less gas mileage.   :roflsmiley:     This thing is sweeeeeeeeeeeet!!   ;D        yeah,yeah... :useless:       :icon16:

    just some quic pics...   I'm trying a different video camera. Getting some better footage.It's tough with one other person. Can't get what I want.Should pay someone.  Been driving more...It's expensive!!  WoW!  My foot is HEAVY!!  Testing.  adjusting. over and over   up and down. Still high in bac. the whole car could go down 3" all around. But exhaust would be low.  It will do for now. New rear shocs mayby next weec. Otherwise all is pretty good. Some different noises to find. The upper shoc mounts aren't perfect.The bushings have some slop. Going to try and fix that.   Are these style rearends typically a bit noisier?    And I was sitting around the other day and decided to cut 3/4" of the rear bumper bracets out.Weld them bac up. Turned out great!!  Much better.   The paint will do for the Summer.  The ride is amazing!!  That engine bay brace has really helped too!!!  Way stiffer!!And no fender shimmy.
    I'm having a total blast with this thing!!!  Thancs to you guys!!!  It's more than I could have ever imagined!!     Really... It is something!!   :grinyes:
