Nah. In Fremont. I am just going to do the rear lateral links. That seems like a lot on its own. I waiting on a few other things that I'll be doing in December. Going to do pads, rotors, calipers. Probably going to do that in Davis, but after I get money to pay for pads and rotors.

Install Fest went well today. Only 2 other people showed, but that's okay. It was fun. We were pretty productive. Thank god for Sam, Eddy, and the air tools. Eddy got his replacement shock in. I got my lateral links in and it was all good. Going to post the few pics up that Sam got over the next few days.
One thing down, a few more to go.

Things are going pretty decent. I am waiting on a replacement camber bolt for the front. I just ordered that through the guys at LIC. I hopefully will have that within the week. Once I get that, I'll make an appointment with AI and have my alignment done.
I am currently saving up for brake pads and rotors. I am thinking about slotted WRX size rotors and Porterfield R4S brake pads. According to Greg@GST, they'll be perfect for auto-x and street use. At the last event, when I talked to Glen (glenspen), he said he was running them and they worked great. Really looking forward to the brake pads and rotors. Thinking about the next install fest in December to get those on.

Another thing down and a few more things to go. From here on out, I'll need brake pads, rotors, and tires. Should be interesting. Not sure how I am going to go about the tires. The brake pads and rotors, I already have something in mind. I can probably even pay for it, but I am going to wait until mid-December to do that.

I got the Whiteline rear adjustable lateral links. They are by far the cheapest ones available. The thing is that people could consider both the front rear and rear rear ones together as a package. That's KTA108 for wagons and KTA109 for sedans. Megan Racing also sells them, but you have to buy them separately which will run you $200 for one, and $300 for the other.

+1 to Auto Innovations. Went in to get aligned today. So... that's all done. Finally... haha. The troubling L has been giving me and AI trouble for awhile now. First with the rear right wheel, then the stripped camber bolt, and yeah. Thanks to all the peeps at AI for going through all the trouble with that car.
Tomorrow, I'll be heading to San Francisco to hang with Henry of Mach III. Probably just be there for the morning, then going to head back home to Fremont to study for finals and stuff.
So... a few more things off the list. Getting to that track ready status. Got to talk to a few people about teching and I should be ready to go. Yup.

Uh... because the track day is not tomorrow. Haha. January 6th. Go check it out. Front sway bar endlinks and bushings. I need to check the car to see if I actually have it in there. Yeah.
