    You can't really slap a traction bar together, and unless you're doing some serious modification it won't be necessary. Not that I would slap anything together but I'm not an engineer.

    I want to get the hatch in the shop soon but there are too many thing's to do first plus I don't have all the part's yet.. maybe I'll take some pics of those or something for now.

    If anyone local would be interested in my exhaust, it'll be for sale shortly.

    oooohh. traction bars. That makes a hell of a lot more sense than a lower strut bar for the rear.

    How do you like your K-sport shock set in daily life? It sure looks good!
    I also like to buy it.
    What is the minimum and maximum height, in difference to the original?

    It's from a V8 plug holder set, pretty much the cheapest one I could find at the part's store. I think I will figure something out for my next setup.

    Thank you! It's a pleasure to know that you enjoyed reading it

    As for the k-sports, it's been around half a year since I've driven the hatch and felt them. I enjoyed the feeling of them, they are nice and tight, I was also playing with the settings and I can't remember what they are at anymore.. as for daily driving, I mainly just drove long distances on the weekends(due to working out of town and not needing to drive, except for then). I didn't have any problems and I like feeling the road, I look forward to driving it again.

    As for adjustment you can see from the pictures that the full height is stock and the lowest is probably 3", I think it would be closer to a 2-2.5" drop safely. I just lowered the spring perch to the bottom on all of them so that I could still have travel, I believe I moved up the back a bit(1/8"-1/4") so that there was even wheel well gap. I may go back and adjust them again though.

    Once I get my turbo sorted out I will be using it as a daily so I'll be able to give a more accurate review.. that's in the future though haha.

    Well I've finally gotten the shop to a state of organization I like, it's not 100% yet but it has come a long way.



    I also managed to pretty well finish my welding cart, minus some chain and possibly a handle.. oh and paint too. Turned out pretty good considering I haven't welded for 7+ years and the only thing I bought were the two front wheels, everything else was free





    I've also got to get a sheet of steel for the bottom part at some point.

    Now I can finally bring in the hatch and start putting on the goodies I bought a year ago.

    lol this is true!
    the trick is not to beat on the car like EVERY day, 80% of the time im in boost its under psi and its usually passing cars, or just wanting to hear some sexy spooling and the BOV

    and i only run it out wot like 2 gears usually and then im going fast enough orrr i foul out plugs.. but i fixed the 2nd part not too long ago wit my street tune

    Nice welder.....been looking at the smaller Miller units for a while some time for smaller home use sort of stuff. My internal debate has been go with something similar with the spool gun for aluminum or go with a TIG as well just for the sheer flexibility of it all. Really digging having a Syncrowave 200 and a Millermatic 350P at my disposal at work (even better because I am the only guy in the shop that can TIG aluminum).

    May have to beat on my Greggs or Lordco rep to see what kind of greasy deal he can cut me on a wee 120V mig machine (not planning on doing anything thicker than 1/4" at home any time soon)

    It's really nice to have tool's like that at your disposal, and a real bonus if you're the only one using them so you don't have to deal with it when someone fucks it up.

    This machine should do everything I want for a while, maybe one day I'll learn to TIG.

    Good luck on your search!

    I'll do my best, I still have much to learn regarding that subject. However if I feel that I cannot do it then I will source out someone in the big city who can.
