Ya know, old (bad) study habits were that when I had a paper to write I used to clean the house to procrastinate.

Now...I get under my car to take a picture of my sway bar
Not a great shot, but hopefully you get an idea--pardon the non-gear-head language
Don did most of the tightening, but I am proud to say I helped put it on too!
Going to get leveled this weekend and that darn 'roaster" (muffler) hopefully painted black too!

i might end up redoing it later on, but this guy has it built already, and is LIQUIDATING it, as he is replacing it with a big block, and only needs another grand to get said BB. it is roughly a $5200 motor, and i'll be getting it for $1000, only thing is, no heads on it. but my buddy that informed me of this deal, has a set of World Products Sportsman II heads that will work perfectly for it.

Famoso, ran the HHR, and did okay for my first time ever on a track, and only having been driving stick for 4 months. totally botched third gear the first time, and ran a 15.91@94.1, and the second one i was just overthinking it and worried too much about screwing up third gear from the first run, i actually SKIPPED 3rd and 4th, and went straight to 5th! that was a 16 something...

Leveled?
Yaw, Pitch, or Roll?

Cool. I work there at special NHRA races (Hotrod Reunion, March Meet, etc).

We could make a HHR race or drag day there sometime. I think I can talk to them about that...
