thanks...im glad i had the adjustable torque wrenches so i didnt have to worry about overtorquing...also on some of the bolts i put some blue threadlocker to keep them from vibrating out

 

Well a couple of weeks ago i finally made it out here to San Diego again...did a 3k road trip in about 3 days or so...i finally got a chance to really put her through her paces with the new trailing arms and honestly she behaves like a whole new beast...its pretty much now like a JCW GP MINI hiding under OE clothes...i can roll the corners at a higher speed and can stay in the throttle longer plus the response is much improved and the ass end feels alot more planted than before...got to really test it out on the trip from san diego to the Anza-Borrego desert which is in eastern SD county, going from sea level to a couple thousand feet in elevation and then back down to sea level was a good test and she did very well...me and a couple of my friends decided to venture out to the Galleta Meadows which is a series of metal sculptures which is out in the desert, a local artist would make these then drop them in random places...some pretty impressive stuff considering the size of them...from 15-20 feet in height to hundreds of yds long in some instances...here are a few pics from that day...
