I am sorry to beat a dead horse, but you have the worst looking under carriage I've ever seen. With the lift I'd spray a **** ton of degreaser, let it sit, and then blast it with a pressure washer. I'd do that until it comes clean. Possibly hit it with an orbit sander to get the rest off. Spray it with rattle can primer or your gun and paint it. With all of those nice parts you are putting under there you should be proud to show them off without people constantly asking you about why your car is so dirty.
I probably will soon. I only had a limited time on the lift since my friend is movng ot of that building the end of the month. Here were too many things arond the lift that can't get wet too. But I just bought the lift from him since it won't fit in his new place. I'm moving it into a bigger shop that me and a few other friends are renting that will be dedicated to working on our cars. When that's up and rnning and spray her down.

Just an update. Went to the "pony wars" event in Valdosta this past weekend. Rand a best of 12.5@112mph, and a best mph of 113 earlier in the day. But, It seems the m/t's and the new rear end were too much for the driveshaft. I did this with a 5000 rpm launch.

Damn that is why I got the PST aluminum one when I ordered my MWC 9. Cause I knew that was going to happen. Did you happen to have any body damage? DS safety loop?

The loop pretty much saved everything. Just some nicks on the the underbody and scratches on the exhaust. And I got a PST on the way for me

Random update. Got the PST driveshaft in and runs great. Just waiting for some time away from class and T&T in Gville to open up to hit the track again. Looks like the 24th will be my best bet. And here are some vids before I broke the driveshaft at Valdosta. I'm in the 2nd half of the last vid, that's my buddy's GTO running before that.
