I never drove the car with working brakes and non-broken suspension links under it and I just about crapped my pants at how much fun it was to toss the car around turns, even on crappy good years and stock 160k mile WS6 springs. The shocks/struts must've been worn out on my old '91 GTA [probably were for as well as it launched] because I never had this much fun in it. Anyway, got rid of the 200 shot with the seperate fuel system, 4" cowl hood [can't see over it anyway], sold the Draglites, selling a bunch of other parts, and put a flat pin-on hood on order from Glasstek, found a guy to trade a TH350 swap setup for a T5 swap [SWEET!], buying some 17x9 GM ZR1s this weekend... and the list goes on. I've got a rear GC adj. perch setup laying around that I'm going to put in the car once I decide whether to use the GC front setup or Spohn coilovers... then get the SFCs welded in, and a brake upgrade on and hopefully hit a track day or two... At least I got such a good deal on a lot of my drag racing stuff that I was able to sell it for what I paid or even make a few bucks. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) All I know is, there is no way in hell I'm taking the front sway bar off at the end of this year and saying "I'm going drag racing next year!".

Holding an umbrella kind of over my head, sitting on a rain coat. Taking the shock/spring out of the car. I looked over to what is a major highway in that area and thought if I saw me, I would think...Look at that guy, he must have lost his mind.... Any point when you realized just how deep into your hobby you are? Or it just kinda got that way?
