              so you happy over all? I know you had a lot of deciding to do before, glad with the decision? it all came out ok?

              What are you thinking for suspension? Jstock with 5mm-10mm spacers up front makes a huge difference. Thats what is set up on Emres car, feels so tight and neutral. Same set up we are doing on the track rental car.

                    Man that looks awesome. Glad you got it completed Joel! How does the weight difference compare to the M20?

                      Ben....

                      howyadoin...(still have those c.plates for ya...but still on car!)


                      its funny you ask because it was a concern....

                      at this event ( my first w/ the s50), I felt my turn in was a bit quick.....quicker than w/ the m20. The only susp. change was the THR lollipops.....so they made a bit of a change perhaps over the powerflex poly items....

                      Then again, due to some dissassembly of the front end during the swap maybe my toe is out of normal spec, which is giving me more/quicker turn in....not sure.

                      Im also carrying more speed into a turn so at times I noticed a lil mid corner push........but overall?.....the addtl wt is no biggie at all...

                      (Ive often tried to recall the drive in your car to compare w/ mine...as its the ONLY swapped car I had ever driven. I think your UUC clutch spools up a bit faster them my euro 323 fly)

                            I wish I could edit video like that!! :)
                            Have any problems keeping the rear rtabs adjusted?
                            I'm thinking of going w. the weld in kit for mine since I have a spare subframe to get all ready and just pop in w. all the goodies on it.
