Well with another autoX coming up this sunday, I figured it was time to install the sub-frame connectors that were taking up space in the shop. Went fairly smoothly aside from one split shifter bushing (nothing to do with the welding etc...just happened to split when I backed out for the test drive LOL)
I put the new ECSTAs on yesterday and was very happy with the increased grip, but not, with the extra stiffness, I'm amazed at the car. A completely new animal! She surely doesn''t drive like a 20 year old ford!!

The thought occurred to me a few weeks ago - "Where would auto racing be without the MIG welder?" It has made car building so much easier and more accessible to the average (maybe slightly above average) joe. I, for one, am glad that someone invented the MIG welder.

Oh look, another Mocha SHO. Looks good! I'm curious what other things you've done to it. I'm starting to miss mine but I'm leary about parking it at my apartment complex because they already tried towing one of my vehicles...

why the 18mm socket?
GM bell housing bolts and old Honda MC spark plugs?

That's what I said, Mocha. Cereally, is that the official name or does my monitor just suck that bad and making it look like Mocha?

Suddenly it all makes sense... 
Do you have a mod list anywhere? I'm curious as to your plans and accomplishments so far with it. All my '91 has is an aftermarket stereo (in it when I bought it) and the '96 knuckle/brake upgrade. I've upgraded the tires to Avon's and it's got Monroe Sensatracs on it - at least until I decide what I want. Finding some lightweight 17x8's is proving to be difficult...
