    Cool as. So jealous of your factory set up. Is there a way to make the rear set up work up front aswell? I don't know anything about these

    small update, last weekend I cut a half coil off the front H&R cupkit spring hoping it would level out with the back but its still not there yet. Also installed camber adjustable rear control arm bushings in the rear to correct the camber back to 0 since I was getting 7k miles out of a set of tires. $$$$$!!! Front camber I left alone cuz 225's are a lot easier and cheaper to come by then 255's, plus I didn't really have such bad wear problems as the rears.

    I left the dslr at work but snapped these with my point and shoot:

    I actually wasnt texting, just checking google maps on my phone to see which was more f'ed going down to long beach, the 110 or 710
    haha, just busting your balls. your car's awesome <3

    they're three separate projectors, looks crazy when lit up. best part about the car exterior wise, imo, but not worth the huge price differential compared to a non-hybrid :P

    I have to modify the trailer now because the tounge height on it is much higher now then my towbar's ball so the trailer hooks up at an angle which is no good as it puts too much weight on the rear of the car. Got to either lower the trailer now (maybe flip the leaf spring if thats possible) or modify the tounge receiver so that its lower and the trailer sits level.

    btw, since I had an IM about this on here and on another forum, the towbar (aka man penis bar) is actually a European Bosal unit and is 100x beefier then the Class 1 garbage we have here in the states. Its mounted to the structural unibody frame rails at 3 different points throughout the trunk area and is rated to pull up to 4900 lbs (2250 kg) so I can pretty much pull my own cars weight including trailer if I really wanted to, while I honestly wouldn't feel safe towing even a hot dog cart with the Kurt Class 1 US hitch as it attaches to only sheetmetal with no reinforcements. With my small 4x6 trailer and 2 dirt bikes on it I barely even notice I'm pulling anything at 70mph.

    I just recently realized that the Miro STP-3 are OZ Mito replicas so I might get a pair and toss it on the trailer to complete the look

    gonna chop the front springs this weekend or when the camber bushings come in next week since the springs gotta come out anyways. The towbar actually serves a dual purpose, for one it tows the motorcycle trailer, but I leave it on daily to deter the typical bump'n'park dicks that destroyed my last wagon's bumper every time I'm in Long Beach or Hollywood.

    I'm trying to rig up a servo motor to control the rear hydraulic shock actuator lever so I can change the ride height without having to get under the car.

    Nelson, I don't go to meets much but when summer comes and I might check out a few, I'de like to check out your car too since that pic in your signature is the only one I've seen of it.
    Towing trailers with hot sedans/tourings is damn hot!
