    I just saved 30lbs on car weight by switching to Lexan.

    Actually both. Originally it was my storage area to consolidate my other 3(!) storage areas. But now I'm opening a brake and suspension shop and will also be doing custom fab and racecar suspension tuning.

    You'll probably get more business if you ACTUALLY RACE!!! Where the hell have you been!?


    But seriously, good luck with the new venture!

    Casey let me take his PHB off of Toolbreaker and put it on my car since mine looked like a dog's hind leg. Spent yesterday morning learning about and looking at the rear suspension. Replaced the lower control arms this morning with Casey's old stock ones. Heim joints are obnoxiously loud when they are worn out! And, no, Casey did not change the parts for me...

    Found out my left rear torque box is ripping out of the car. The right side has a small stress crack but the left side is F'd!!!!!
    Looks like I'll be getting a repair kit this week and bolting it in this weekend. It needs to be welded but my dads welder and my skills are not up to par.

    I'll try to get pictures hosted of it soon, the torque box is virtually cracked in two.
    All you Mustang guys check your upper and lower torque boxes. I have had a suspicion that my rear end has been moving a little too much over the last year or so and this appears to be the culprit.

    Another Mustang advantage ~ active suspension.

    Watching recorded F1 with some friends yesterday and found a tarantula in the bathroom... the race was paused for the capture.

    Tupperware and welding gloves were my tools of choice.

    The Texas A&M Entomology Dept is heading to the house to pick it up now.

    Holy parallel dimension ...

    A tarantula appeared in our kitchen floor yesterday during Lime Rock.

    Captured it much the same way and released at the back of our property, 300' from our house (30' from our neighbor's).

    My wife's reaction was much the same as Darci's, although accompanied by screams of terror.
