on a side note...anybody looking for a track helmet, or know somebody that is (or if they/you have a street bike)...i've got two carbon fiber helmets both DOT and SNELL approved, one made by hjc and the other joe rocket...both in size XL...if there is interest just pm me your email and i'll send pics...both have never been used...just trying to stay away from craigslist if possible
A friend of mine may need one when the track opens. Can you hold on to them until then? If not, no problem.

I need to find a helmet, but I'm no XL

Then I'll need a rollcage :/

Already got my SA2005 helmet for autocross season! With all the crap I've had to deal with this past month I just can't wait to go kill some cones! First things first, though, I need to get my suspension sorted. It would be nice to have my Mustang lowered and aligned before Easter.

I'm hoping to get lowered and summer wheels on by Friday. Than shocks/struts after springs settle.

I need to get to work on my suspension, pronto. I have Steeda Ultralites, Koni Yellows, and MM caster/camber plates waiting to be installed, then I need to get the front end and the Watt's link aligned. Even if I can't get to them on time I will compete in my first event on April 7th as-is. I'm really rusty anyways so it may not be that big a deal for me to drive on only the Watt's link.

On the other hand, I was able to make the time to install some Redline hood lifts today (thanks for the tip, Grimm!). Much nicer than that stupid hood prop.

Same sort of work going on here.

Adding the H&R front bar to mine, along with Whiteline end links and the Whiteline Control Arm to Sway Mount Brace. Really need some wrench time to take my mind off the former g/f headaches (I just find doing mechanical work almost therapeutic).

The H&R front bar is monstrous (36mm and solid). Hoping it's not too much...

Nice! Glad you like them. They're a bit pricey for what they are, but now that they're on the car, I absolutely love them and would absolutely buy another set.

Worth every penny imho just for the convenience of getting that prop rod out of the way. The Redlines also seen to be darn near indestructable. I bought a set when they first came out for the 'stang (around '06). Used them for years, then when I switched to the Shelby Super Snake hood (which needs a special set of Redlines) I passed them on to someone else. The original set was still going strong last I heard.

CJ Pony Parts had the hood struts on sale for their "March Madness" event. I got an Epco shift **** and a shift boot retainer as well, I'm just waiting for them to come in.
