Default Happy guy...

Poly steering rack bushings, rothsport rack brace (we all have to stop believing they don't fit...cuz they do), wevo blacks, and an oil change with brad penn...

Shifting should be transformed from notchy to nice, power will feel quicker to deliver to the wheels, and steering will be marginally tighter/solid feeling.

One of these days, it'll actually be my car on stands out there, but for now, we have four happy N9O members in one shop/garage...

You are da man Rob. My only regret when I come over to your place to get some work done is that my take home to-do list always gets longer! But I guess it's not really work, just fun.

Ken. You too, bring it whenever.

Next project is John's car is going on stands for teardown of all suspension components front and rear, full rehab, bushings, cv boots, ball joints, spring plates, wheel bearings, swaybars, then mike's, and then mine. Maybe Justin's and maybe Darren's if they get too jealous...lol. All are welcome to hang for the process and get stuff done while we are doing it. A second set of esco stands arrived today so his car can sit in one bay for some time while the other stays usable...

And another day of another couple happy guys...

Mikes mainer got new wevo mounts, and rack brace and new poly rack bushings...starting to become a broken record, I know. But, yet another set goes on a car that rothsport and all others say doesn't fit, and it fits fine.

Then we replaced his trashed rear wing with a replacement we sourced, and a new badge to match the others, and poof. New car.

John dropped his alabamer C4 for the beginning of suspension teardown...this is going to get fun...

Hopefully we'll talk at C&C on the 18th.

In terms of the steering rack brace, I had a lot more lines in the area compared to the picture you posted.
