So I decided it was time for another drift mod...
Time to take care of the pathetic amount of angle that this car
has:

I took a spare set of struts and modded the steering on them. I
am lowering the car a little bit while I'm at it so I also
lowered the steering point. A little before and after:

I've read through Mikes angle post a few times now and decided
to shorten the arm and lower the ackerman a bit.
Then after I got the first strut done and installed I realized
that the new location interfered with the rim so I started
making some 5mm spacers (making 8 total) that would fix my
problem. Well I got one hole from being done with the first one
and my drill bit grabbed and the drill spun around so hard that
it broke my hand.

I gotta shift with my left... not fun!
And I have 1 steering knuckle left to do. then i'm gonna work
on a custom shift knob for the bimmer that'll work with this
thing. I may be able to drive the 17th, we'll see...

Signed up for Streets of Detroit (just day 2) so now I gotta get
my car to where it'll pass tech. I figure it'll take most of the
time from now until then since i'm doing everything with 1
hand... Anyone wanna help? ;)

Managed to get the 2nd strut out with 1 hand. Just have to mod
it and reinstall.
SoD things to do:
Steering finish
re-route exhaust to be legal
install battery strap
new tires
mount extinguisher
fix oil leak
get snell rated helmet
Adjust brake shoes
I think that's it :-\
