Nah, I'm gonna ease into it. But I do want to hit the bumper once. Just one of those things I always said I'd do....

I just unbolted the travel limters, they can go back on. Hopefully I need them!

It was toe'd out a little. I noticed the car wanted to wander alot going down the road, and it kinda over-corrected when you tried to steer. So I went by madmans specs and made sure it never went toe out, put all the caster in we could, etc.

I will probably get it scaled too, it helped with my buddies TA and I'm way fat compared to him. I'm sure the sway bar will need adjusted.

I was gonna put the speedglass in it but the damn glass co said they might break it. Oh well, at least its weight on the rear.

Let me know if you decide to sell this TA.
When it was for sale, I almost bought it to have a cloan to what I currently have.
Can't beat the price you paid either.

I put my billet specialties on it today, too bad they only have 275 DR's on them. They are narrow! But guys are going fast as **** on them, so hopefully this turd can at least run decent on motor with them. I'll get some new pics tomorrow...
