Thanks Todd. Yeah if you want to e-mail me a high res copy that would be sweet. Need more pics for the new screen saver. Apparently my current one with all the bikini girls isn't work friendly enough...though lots of people seem to stare at it for hours on end. LOL

I've got my tow hook fabricated and ready for paint. I drew up a sketch and stopped by my trusty water jet guy. I alos cut the spacers and ground them down to size. More work than it looks like! I have a new spoiler on the way and will notch it. My current is broke on the passenger side anyway. It will be fire engine red. I'll post up some photos when it's done.

I must have missed what prompted you to switch to a new tapered axle bearings.....and new axles. What is the advantage to those bearings?

I'm getting mild brake pad knock back on the street and wicked knockback on the track. Tapered bearings are designed to take a side load better. The axles showed up today and I'm racing next Sunday so I'll report back my experience.
