Changed my rear brake pads.

Went to change the rear swaybar linkages with fatass nolathane ones, but I didn't have the right size die to increase the thread length towards the middle (I knew I'd have to, but when done I'll have slightly shorter linkages, increasing the pre tension on the bar, which in turn will ramp its torsion rate up. Yes, my car is beginning to handle quite well). When I bother getting the front strut bar (badly needed) and eventually an anti lift kit, and a 5mm spring packer for the front, she'll be the best handling astina on the road :P

Lets just say that keeping to the speed limit (80), and never going below said limit through section one of old pac is about as easy as falling asleep with anesthetic.

Infact, its easier.

The only hard part is not falling out of my standard SOHC seats.
