The 901 was replaced with a 915, but now he eats portable lights. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Are portable lights going to be the norm now for Streets of Willow? I wouldn't race there with those lights, Murphy is alive and well!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Glad you got your car back, it looks great!!! I would love to do a ground up restoration on my car some day.

The last couple months I've had basically had zero time to work on the car, but I did actually have a couple hours over the new years break to start on a couple of things. I got the new Tarrett sway bar installed to replace the Weltmeister. The build quality and parts are 1000x better than the Weltmeister, but I hate the ugly color the parts are anodized in. Oh well...

I can live with the ugly color under the car, but the monoballs on the top drove me crazy - pink/red in the trunk was quite ugly.

Plus, these parts weren't finished that great as the CNC marks were clearly visible on the top part. So, I sanded them smooth and plan on powder coating these silver or something.

Unless I really screwed something up and those marks were intentionally put there to put some "bite" into the parts when they are tightened against the body. But I don't think the stock part has that... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) ?

"While I was in there" I put a light coat of black paint on the air box (and sanded off the BEHR logo (no idea why that always bugged me too)), and also had the clips cad plated with everything else. Not factory, but looks much nicer than the tarnished grey clips that were there.

Too blingy?

And I just got my wheels back from Weidman's. He had them for 7 months, but I guess he's still faster than I am. 2 were bent in my offroad adventure but no more.

I went for an RSR finish this time instead of polished spokes.
