Got My Tds Wonderbar!!!

Showed up today when I was leaving work. Good thing I recognized that lil funny looking brown uniform. I yelled out UPS! He said WHAT! I said GIMME MY SH*T! LOL!

Anyway, I got the Raw Steel color. I will let you all know how the install goes and the before/after feeling...

Thats 2 small mods towards 1 BIG goal!

And its in!!!

Man this thing made a huge difference. At first I could go around corners and the front end felt like it was moving around. I had to use a lot of steering input to make the car hold its line in a turn. Now, when I go around corners, the front end stays basically stuck. I dont have to make a lot of adjustments to keep the car on its line in a turn. I was blazin through 20 MPH turns at 40 plus! Unfortunately because of the road I was riding on (one lane each direction) I couldnt set up for the turns that great (outside line, clip apex, etc...).

Do yourself a favor and get a wonderbar!

Oh... the install was pretty easy. I did have to pry around to get the two outside bolt holes lined up enough to start the bolts through. Once that was accomplished, the rest was pretty straight forward.

I had to pry mine over also makes it nice and tight. I noticed prob the biggest difference in turns also it almost felt like it was guiding itself through the turns.

Just ordered a set from Lon also. He is an incredibly nice guy. We spoke for nearly an hour as he ran back and forth to his car to answer questions for me.

From all the stories I'm hearing from everyone - I cannot wait to bolt them on. I think I'll be ordering SFC's as well. I'm gettin a woody just thinkin about it. Yes - I've got issues.

FYI, the SFC's just went on SALE. (Sorry, I can't help with the reaction you get from this news.)
