    are you talking about the one by georgetown? man I just want to go there for the fun of it, from what I have seen all you need is the car inspected and pass that it has no leaks and you can go on it.

    With rugged trails too. "Traction" I don't know. To be honest it was just plain stupid to drive like that in the snow. Thanks, about the build.

    Pro tip for those who become involved in a spin-out:
    Look where you WANT to go. NOT where you DONT want to go (hit) your eyes will tell your brain subconsciously to steer towards that direction.

    If you don't believe me, go find a safe spot to practice...it'll work. ;)

    Nothing. Just telling ya. I tested this theory multiple times last year in an empty lot. Purposely got myself in a spin out and looked where i wanted to go and it took me to that area.


    I only have some "professional" experience (at least 4-5x) on a police track....but that's pursuit training, PIT's, sudden braking, cornering, etc.

    When I first moved to where it snows, I tried this in the empty parking lots. Definitely works

    Haha, Hella. Back story, I was sitting in my truck at Loveland eating lunch in the dumping snow, and a two guys walked by and one said something along the lines of "This is what is wrong with the youth these days, putting swear words on their vehicles for everyone to see." Other guy: "I think that is a brand name" "Oh."

    They couldn't see me inside, busted out laughing.

    Yours. I still need to unmount mine, let me get Brett's and then I will coordinate with you.

    Should we make this more complicated? Rebecca, you bring a shit ton of beer to Sean's, I'll flip the UCA bolts, and pick up the lights at the same time. Thanks for volunteering for a mod/swap day Sean :D

    Couple 19mm wrenches and sockets, jack and stands, large pry bars, and Popeye arms. Could you provide the arms, not sure squeaky has the mass needed for the job.

    to many to list, check the build thread
    why you flipping the UCA bolts? did you bend the firewall metal back to put on aftermarket UCA's? if so just keep the bolt in its same OEM configuration thats what i ended up doing with mine and that way if the nut comes loose the bolt can't slide out.
