I think that's about right for the specs. I'll have to find that sheet to double check.

I may be 40, but I can still hang with the 39 year olds in the gym...

if you are under -2 for the rears and close to -1.4 up front, your camber is not excessive. If I remember correctly, a lot of guys find -1.75 to be ideal on this car. I looked into it back when I put my coilovers on.

I also turned 40 today. I feel old and creepy.

Happy birthday Dave, and welcome to the club of 40s. I have been there for sometime now and I still pump more iron than a lot of " 20 something year olds" at the gym. 40 is just a number. It all depend on how you feel.

No party, just a nice dinner last night.

only thing going for that car is the milage. beyond that, it is too mixed and matched to appeal to the general enthusiast..... even at KBB pricing (16-17k)

Already, Greg? I put mine away last Nov 1.

I'm thinking of going and finding a salvage yard to 'browse.' Anyone know of a good one around the south 'burbs?
