    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

                                With the alignment it is pretty darty but it drives really nice. I need to get adjustable end links so I can connect the front swaybar too, since it seems the ones from BC are even too short to use at the height they set the coils at when shipping😐 

                                The exhaust is stupid loud (muffler delete with a cherry bomb to eliminate a little buzz) and it really resonates inside of the cabin with the sound deadening removed. Not to mention I don't have the radio code and also don't have the 5 sided tool to remove the radio and give the serial number to the dealer=( For some reason they don't have it logged under the VIN number...

                                    The car was problem free all weekend other than a leaking valve stem. Super happy with it so far and just a few things left to button up before doing slidey stuff.

                                    Waiting on pictures from my friend yet but I'll leave this here

                                      Great work! it looks fun.  How I see it, an E36 coupe is a better drift car option. When you go sliding backwards into a wall you can just continue on life as a ti. Starting out with a ti means your unintentional wall-tap mulligan has been used up.

                                      just sayin

                                        With the alignment it is pretty darty but it drives really nice. I need to get adjustable end links so I can connect the front swaybar too, since it seems the ones from BC are even too short to use at the height they set the coils at when shipping😐 

                                        The exhaust is stupid loud (muffler delete with a cherry bomb to eliminate a little buzz) and it really resonates inside of the cabin with the sound deadening removed. Not to mention I don't have the radio code and also don't have the 5 sided tool to remove the radio and give the serial number to the dealer=( For some reason they don't have it logged under the VIN number...

                                        I've driven worse hahah I was really surprised at how well it drove with the Stanley eye alignment hahaha
