Not sure what I will do for the rear seat delete area yet, probably cover with light weight carpet.
Used the threaded boss in the hatch area to mount the canisters
Snap a rusty rear exhaust hanger bolt can't really complain that was the only broken bolt, called it a day I will drill that sucker out and bleed the brakes next weekend.
Then ready for corner balance and alignment, Racers Edge is 3 hours from me, I may make an appointment if they can do the job and me do the trip all in 1 day, we will see

Tried the new suspension today at Barber Motorsports Park, after thunder, lightning and hail moved out of the area the am sessions were very wet, had a little scrape with the armco chasing a GTR... came in pulled the quarter panel back into usable shape, the afternoon sessions were dry, car handled great, hunted down the GTR and earned a point by well.... it is a DE after all. Once I sort thru video I should see that I improved my personal best time by a sizable margin.

Damn, bad luck David. What tyres were you using? What next for the repair?

Hankook V12 street tires, wide body has crossed my mind, or leave as is show a little "attitude" but will most likely just repair it back to stock.
Ran an autocross this morning, was within 2 seconds of FTD (a well set up S2000 on Hoosiers and driver only) me on street tires and a passenger. I am pleased with the suspension.
