Hi guys, I have read all about cutting the rear spring mount (springmount mod) and wondering if anyone here has done it and what they think about it. Thanks.

It's not how fast you drive, it's how clean the car is when slicing through the atmosphere.

Never heard about that, but I wouldn't want to do that anyway.

Q: What does HKS stand for?

A: HKS stands for:

H-Hasegawa, as in Hiroyuki Hasegawa.

K-Kitagawa, as in Goichi Kitagawa.

S- Sigma, as in Sigma Automotive Company, Ltd.

Hasegawa and Kitagawa formed the company with the assistance of capital infusion from Sigma Automotive, hence the name HKS...

If you guys didn't know, I got sad news earlier this week. My dog Molly had to be put down on Thursday. I was out of town the whole week. Apparently, she got a hold of some rawhide and chewed off more than she could handle. It got lodged in her intestines and must have bound it up, then ruptured after the infection. Vets stated that the operation might not be successful, so Tara had to make the decision on the spot.

RIP Molly

It's going to be a while before I find another good dog. I keep thinking about her and wanting to feed her scraps or letting her out for a break.

I won't even think of finding another companion until next Spring or Summer.

Thanks, guys. I appreciate it.

BTW, I'm looking for a brake upgrade. You've seen my wheels. How big do you think I can go on the rotors?
