Very nice Kelu, let us know how it turns out. Also how much are you going to lower the car?

I got my DDM T-bolt clamps

, they go on to day after I get the lattice put up around the Hot Tub. For a little more privacy for my G/F & me

You're putting lattice around your hot tube? The mind boggles!

Yesterday: ZOK rear sway, Probeam and backbone... Haven't gotten a chance to REALLY exercise it yet, but the "squidge" is gone on a couple of the corners that used to have it.

Followed the instructions for the rear sway from JonyMac. The person crazy enough to get under the car with me? My girlfriend...

OK around and above the hand rails of the deck the hot tub is on.
Just in case you don't know what I'm talking about.

lat·tice [láttiss]
n (plural lat·tices)

Ah, Hammer.... I don't think it's the lattice that had us confused. We are really wondering WHY you would install it around your hot TUBE... If it were me, I would keep it around my hot TUB and leave my TUBE uncovered....

But that's just me.

Oh, and to get back on track, I installed my DDM Backbone this morning! Can't wait to get out and try it!

Today I caught the Fetish glaring at her new garage mate....... A '73 Corvette Stingray complete with flames on the hood. This Vette is so me..... I've named her Vetish.

I also do pretty well with a camera, and here are some pics of the days modding..

Gotta have some room to work.

Z0K and stock rear sways. This was fun for me, I actually got my foot up the rear the coupe.. I can now say I have kicked a car in the behind for real!

Poly bushings to hold that sway in nice and tight.

Backbone installed - bolts on this are just a PITA - at least they used just the blue threadlock.. Power would have made this go quicker but the mod process is super easy to do. A great Novice mod to build confidence.

Bosch, the ramps are going the wrong direction!!!

I can see your car in the refection.

No they're not... we lifted the car onto the ramps (1. they tend to slip on our floor and 2. kept the exhaust nice and cool). If I put em this way, then I could get stands under the rear pucks for the part of the sway part install that required dropping the suspension.

And yup, that's one of her PT's in the reflection. Had to make a tool run to pick up another jack, cuz the ones I had wouldn't lift the car high enough to get on the ramps.

Cleared 200 miles, cleared the speedlimit once or twice and then washed it.

Who says you can't haul 4 tires and 4 wheels in a Kappa? Of course with the passenger's side seat removed.

Would have made a great thread by it's self Norm.

I bought some new Victoria carnauba wax today and I've got my eye on a Porter Cable buffer.

[attachment=1][attachment=2]

I tried to buy it from ASAP but they dropped the communication on email, Martin from GMR step up to the job and I ordered through him. Envelope was sent on 25th of June and today I got it on my mail, 5 days from the other side of the Earth is GREAT.
