hahhaaha! o what fun! all in all a great learning experience and a good time with awesome people.

only thing i can add to complete Rinku's synopsis. remove wheels! hhahahaha! and also, remove the rear brake lines. we damaged one and thanks to Adam at XAT racing were able to secure rears lines at a moments notice.

Also, our little project would have been a 12 on a scale of 10 if it had not been for having a lift courtesy of McDill AFB hobby shop. props to Jesse and the USAF for providing this (salute)!.

i am suprised, but the rear subframe with diff installed and drive shaft isn't too heavy, just really awkward to manage with less than five people. if you try this at home, you must have a few friends on hand, otherwise you will have to remove diff and drive shaft to make removing subframe more manageable.

Great to see Robin again! and props for his snaps. sorry we did not have the time to service his car. we owe ya one bro!

also did not have time to service Adrian's Z. plus he got screwed around by getting wrong belts from the parts store (what a suprise!) sorry for your wrong parts Adrian, and i do not want to be the guy there that feels your wrath! i hope his life insurance is paid up!

Rob M: i expect to see a tech article in Downshift (shameless plug) in an upcoming issue.
