    Thanks guys! On Friday, I ran the "short course" they had set up down town (very tight, you can never get out of 1st gear in any car). I ran on my 265's and did two quick runs. That was alright. I saved up the rest of my money to drive on Sunday at the long course. I got my NT-01's mounted on Friday night, Saturday noon i got the bead fixed and sealed, and I went to check out the short course. It got rained OUT. talk about water in the whole parking lot was 3-5" tall LOL. I just got all my stuff and left, nonetheless, i was drenched head to toe.
    Sunday, I got the girlfriend and my friend, we cruised up to the long course. I was told by my friend with the STI that my r-compounds won't help me.


    And I ran faster than most cars :D

    Here's some pics of the horrible suspension, body roll, driver mod, and sticky tires.

    Very nice driving. I really want to try this in my x-cab. My friend auto x's a 90's Miata and it just seems very fun and could help my driving skills.

    it'd be bitchin to grab some lower sway bars from a b5 platform VW passat (i used to have a 98 and that thing handled like a beast...STOCK.) V6 and fab up some brackets. the lower sway bar on those is located on the bottom next to the tranny and oil pan. its a good 3/4" thick.

    This happened as much truck got shipped here. The $150 window wasn't my issue, but the fact that I lost sentimental stickers. :(

    AHHH i would be pissed off more about the sticker too. you can find a new window in any junk yard. stickers can be much harder to find.

    Thanks fella's!

    I had some hispanic contractor on base blow dust all over the parking lot and proceed to ask if my truck is for sale, lol. "No."

    I don't think I've ever had In n Out til I got to Sacramento!
