Do you plan on doing Warminster on the 25th, or are you doing another event?

my only advice would be to not attempt it unless you've done them before. that and be real careful when removing the vertical bolt that holds the front control arm (its the one you remove to install the Perrin PSRS). there is a nut welded into the subframe and if you're too aggressive you can and will break the nut free and have to remove the whole subframe to weld the nut back.

I did a number of years ago, it was a total pita. The little gear mitsu has in there doesn't work at all. It just spun, stripping the plastic piece it's attached to. I think I ended up using pliers on the plastic knob to turn it.

Just looked at the calendar and realized I got off on Columbus Day, Oct. 10. I am likely to join you for the 8th/9th as a result.

Oct 7-9 Thunderbolt: Registering
Oct 20-21 Thunderbolt: Days off approved, registering.

Come at me bro!
