Well if you had come by and visited beforehand you would have a) gotten far far far better studs, and b) paid far far less and c) had a more relaible set up which d) has a nice lead or nubbin on the end to make starting the nut super fast even in pitch darkness. But I understand, I am 3.5 miles from there and it takes 10 minutes to get here. And just in that one photo I see several things that makes my hair stand on end---thank goodness Robert ain't here, he's pull his hair out---and he doesn't have a lot to spare! 1) what in gawds green earth are you thinking with that brake pipe hang out in the air like that? That is a no go. It will be pounded to shit and probably fail in no time flat....get it down secured to the beam, rotate the hose. Make an end anchor for the junction pipe to hose. 2) Sway bar?????? 3) fuel accumulator is nice in a K-jet (CIS) car. But a fuel accumulator smashed to rat shit, or ripped right off might cause some running issues... I would imagine a new home could be found for it in, oooohhh say---the spare tire well next to the fuel pump---and filter. Spare tire well is super easy to close off to meet the rules and so you don't end up fried to a fricassee. Oh by the way, I just had a nice talk with a Rabbit guy out in Ohio and weeze were wondering if you had any stock: rear shock, front knuckle and strut kicking around??? I need to measure some stuff since i have done dozens of Golves but no Rare-bits. John Vanlandingham Sleezattle, WA, USA Vive le Prole-le-ralliat www.rallyrace.net/jvab CALL +1 206 431-9696 Remember!

I love this forum. Seriously just learned a lot. I'm looking to snag some better rotors for the Gaylant later this year, figure that's a good time to run some new lines, and would be very interested in A) pictures of said Bucknutty M14 wheel studs and  more (qualified info I'm not likely to find in 30 seconds of Googling) on slotting my own rotors.
