I want to take Victoria and I to a big NHRA event. We'd have to go to Royal Purple Raceway for one.

It's one big advantage of the west coast...I've got 3 NHRA National events within a reasonable drive and one that is a short and cheap flight: Seattle (Pacific Raceways NW Nationals), Sonoma, Vegas and Pomona. The Vegas event is one that I would fly in for...I've done the Portland-Vegas drive and it's a ass kicker.

If you're willing to drive further the Indy Nat's are mind-blowingly awesome..it's in September.

Tips on the install process. I'm going with the OEM bars as I don't want to spend so much money plus they will provide me with a fairly decent increase in performance over the fe3 suspension.

Yeah that happens with me on nearly every electronic device I get. I just got a new pair of headphones and I was up till probably midnight the first night listening to music.

That would be awesome but Camaro Fest is too close and she would be back in class then anyway.

Gotcha. For the front bar, it helps if you take off a wheel. That will give you a little more room to actually pull the bar out. Also, when you go to remove the endlinks on the front bar, have a bar of small Vise grips, adjustable or channel locks to hold the bolt of the end link in place. If you do not hold it, it will just spin when you go to release the nut. Also, a ratchet box wrench is the easiest tool for the job in my opinion.

Altogether, it is a pretty simple install. Six nuts and you are done.

Sounds good. I know removal of the bar through the car itself may prove to be a bit tedious but its do able.

I've given thought to going to a casino...at least in that case there is a chance I get a return on money spent!
