Thanks for everyone who stayed and tried to help me out. I appreciate it.
Suprisingly my power steering still worked, so i guess that belt is only for the a/c.
It was nice meeting everybody. We gotta do this again!

I think so. He said that he'll be up there after work on Thursday. I think his sister lives up there. Something like that.

Yeah. Sorry that the crank pulley didn't work out for you. I think next time someone needs to have it done, we'll have it done right. I guess the first time is always the hardest.

Don't forget to give a call to MPJ/SpeedElement. Say AVE sent you. Those guys are pretty cool. If not, there is always GB. I've heard good things about Gino. Still a drive (Hayward), but since you have power-steering, it won't be as bad.

Thanks. I dont track/autox cuz I'm more set on finishing the mods for my car first. But I really wanna try it out. Any recommendations?
I'm gonna go buy that tensioner piece on monday and take it to MPJ to get her fixed up.

Thanks to everyone that helped put the RSB/endlinks on. That'd probably be the Justin's, Walter, Smitty. Sorry if I forgot anyone.


Quick note, someone left their stuff at my place. I am heading back to Davis with me. If you guys aren't able to get them, I can leave it with one of the other Fremont people.
no problem man, enjoy the rear sway.... no more body roll

Not a bad turnout guys. Thanks Kev for hosting this! It was good to meet all the new people and good to see the old ones.

What happened with the sway, Bell R?

Sway bar owned me... There is about | | much room in between the mounts and the lower subframe. Without knowing exactly what I was getting myself into, I wasn't about to take those pieces of the frame off to access the mounts.

After I got home I checked around, and people have done it both with leaving those pieces on and taking them off. Undecided what I'm going to do...what was the name of that install shop in Redwood City?

Oh, and I think I left my camping chairs there, Kev. No worries, won't need them anytime soon, just let me know who has them.

I think they said it was Auto HQ.

I'll see if I can get a hold of AVE. And we can go from there.

Maybe the bushings are too soft and they weren't meant to be cut. That's why they were that thick in the first place. =/

That was the back which feels fine. I think the most of the vibration is from the front.
