Well, that fourth pic looks as though you were very recently on all fours.

[MazdaRacer]

true, you can see a hint of light under it, not sure if i just was or i'm just about to...I dunno if i'm just focused on driving or what, but i don't feel it lift that often...and i'm usually at one with the car at ALL times...maybe i'm slippin in my old age... LOL

how'd you do Darryl? Is Wil still racing?

[MazdaRacer]

results aren't out yet, but i may, just may have squeeked into the top 5, but i feel confident on a top ten though.

Yes, Will is still racing...those his K1s on the car...won't get mine till next week and the sat practice pretty much finished off my current tires (which is why i ran the K1s in the 1st place )

the car looks awesome... too bad the picture quality isn't better

[MazdaRacer]

those are just the low-res freebies he posted, i will be getting the nice hi-res ones on CD soon.

bad enough i'm losing grip by having only 3 wheels...not gonna go for 2

Awesome pics!

How's that 1" rear sway bar working under hard racing conditions?

[MazdaRacer]

well, it lifts the rear wheel at near every turn...lol i'm still in the tuning process, but it does help rotation, but i may be a little rear biased right now, having the OEM front bar with just ES bushings. But i played with the strut adjustments and got it to a managable control. The week before, i was super tail happy. Probably helps because it's only on one rear tire, easier to lose grip and "rotate" with just one tire, than both. Plus there's less rolling resistance on only 3 wheels....but overall grip is less on 3 than it is on 4... there's always a give and take...

It's really more of a driver adjustment, than the car. The changes i made are drastic and it's a totally different handling car now and i need to adjust my driving to suit the car.

I think it's about time we see some vids of your car in action...we've seen enough pics

How was the install of the bar? I remember a few people had problems as the 1" bar would break endlinks and wasn't a perfect fit. Did you have to modify it to make it fit properly? Also, would you recommend this Quickor bar over the Suspension Techniques one for a daily driver?
