OK, winter needs to GTFO

Because I just placed my order for some new toys and I wanna go out and do some racing!

In the mail now:
OTTP Hardcore rear bar
Pedders Springs
FE5 24mm Front sway bar, bushings, and clamps
SS/TC FE5 shocks and struts

Can't wait to get them on the car. Hoping these parts help cure the massive understeer that the FE3 suspension provides around the twisties...

Also, Pedders + sedans = SEXY!

Waiting for my FE5 suspension in the mail as well. I didn't get the front sway though, cause I didn't think 2mm would make much difference.

I may keep my stock bar around just in case I find out that the larger bar induces understeer more than I'd like, even with the OTTP hardcore bar. The front FE5 swaybar is less than $100 with all the hardware so it was hard to say no when it's that cheap brand new...

Let me know if the upgraded sway makes any difference. If it does, then I'll get it.

Did you get your bumper/trunk fixed yet?

2 months until the first AutoX, 2.5 months until the first AutoX that I know I'll be able to attend.

But I'll be sure to post up my thoughts and results.

Sweet. That's a lot of work to just get a wingless trunk, though! Glad to hear it all worked out for the better.

I agree. 2 feet of snow is a lot of fun.
