Paul and I should have gotten pictures when we were working on my car. We ended up only need 3 jackstands, we could get the 4th jackstand under the car, because anytime you lifted somewhere, it would pick 2 or 3 wheels up.  |

I am impressed with the frame(?) stiffness. I'll have to try that with my junk. I found a huge differance after installing the subframe connectors, lower control arms and panhard rod. The rear end stays flat while I'm burning out sideways out of parking lots or carving through the curvey canyon roads.

I hear you about carving up the twisties, but unfortunately I don't have enough power to burn out of a parking lot.  |

 If I can do it with the V6 you can surely do it with your rolling mass of power! (unless my Maro just has a stunning lack of traction) |

Whew, that's a relief! I thought for a minute that I had the most tractionless (is that a word???) car ever to roll off a production line (not including the Geo Metro)  |
