You ain't kiddin. I've been to Rochester NY to visit a friend. It was about a 5-6 hour drive from Detroit through Canada. Gingerman is another 3 hours from Detroit - in the opposite way of Rochester!

Never tried that, I got a steak or scrimp or something.. Can't remember since I had too many Blue Moon's (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/drink.gif)

Shoot, if Glen Waineo is going then I'm going!! ...That is, if I get the car back together by then. I need a shakedown before heading off to NFME, anyway.

I'm going out and mounting the front antiroll bar tonight. It was looking a little ratty so I painted it! After that the list starts getting smaller: Mostly it's fixing up some wiring, putting the interior back together, and fabricating a Y-pipe. The more thirdgens the better. Someone once wrote that it's easier to make a third-gen go faster than it is to make a fourth-gen look prettier...

Amen to all of that!!

My car is apart for the winter upgrades as well. The best thing about the midwest winter is that you can take the insurance off the car and put it up on jack stands for 4 months and do a big, well thought-out project.

-Right now the axle is out of the car. I'm building an 8.625" that will be 10-15lbs lighter than the 7.625. I'll post some pics and details at some point.
-C5 rear brake calipers with probably ls1 rotors and park brake delete (to replace the drums)
-36mm front sway bar to replace the 34mm
-4" aluminum driveshaft w/ forged slip yoke and 1350 u-joints. Theoretical critical speed of 16,853 rpm (should be enough, right? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )
-weight jackers for front and rear. 200 lb rear springs to go with the LPHB. 750 lb/in fronts
-Jon A style DIY aluminum control arms and PHB (thanks!)
-lt1 intake if I get time

You have a LPHB don't you? What springs are you running?
