thanks for the comments. just got it aligned today, R&H did a great job as per usual. had Jerrys Mufflers look after the exhaust, good deal with them as well. it turned out better than I expected, it drives like a dream (all new steering parts, bushings, tie rod ends, ball joints) and has sooooo much more power than what it used to be. I think the HP/torque numbers now are about twice what it started with (1.8 8v VS. 2.8 VR6) |
