    I got three fasteners away from dropping the rear subframe today. I ran out of time so it will be out tomorrow. 

    These look brand new right? Hahaha

        Hows the quality of the srs stuff? I've been tempted by a few things they offer

          Rear trailing arm reinforcements and dual caliper brackets.

            Not too shabby actually. The two pieces that go together to brace the arms and make it an A shape need just a hair of filing so that they slide together nice. I'm sure I could probably take a BFH and get the together as it is though. I'll take pics tomorrow of how they fit up to the trailing arms.

                    Do a burnout.

                    Also, I have a moderately over-built subframe bushing puller if you're in the mood for a little mission creep. I can also provide pointers on RTAB removal if you feel your trailing arms aren't sufficiently bent.

                                    15 minutes a day is pretty much how I did my swap.  I want to see your slide this car like you did with the drift trike haha

                                        I definitely will haha. The cool thing is after selling bits off of this car, and totaling the Del Sol, I have zero money into the chassis. That means I can total it into a wall and only be upset that I hurt the MHW's lol. I am really excited to have to learn car control without having excess power to use as a crutch.

                                          The car is registered, insured, and roadworthy. I drove it to work today with zero issues. Pictures will come from this weekend. I made a promise to a friend that I wouldn't share any potato pictures on the internet haha
