I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

I got it all figured out but before I clicked pay now for the registration I started going on websites looking for the parts I need to at least run my car with this suspension. No rear sway bar would be foolish to even spend the $30 to go out there because it would be an understeering disaster.

Yep they all have cotter pins. On accident one time though I used a little hitch pin and it put a groove in my rotor. Still waiting to see what happens with that.

I had to tune the nut behind the wheel (still working on that part) before buying parts to get faster.

Just come out and have a good time learning your car. Driver mods are the most effective and least expensive. Hope to see you out there.
