Not yet...
I will as soon as the weather and my schedule get together. Just put the panels back in for the first time since the shock change.
I need to study the layout and experiment with adjustment methods before committing to the saw.

afghan showed me a cool "custom" tool he used to adjust his at the Cen-Div round table but at the time I was thinking of keeping the stock rears.

Come on Mark, spring for the rears!!!!
I know you have the cash. Save up one months cigarette or dubey money, and there you go!
While your at it, hose out your engine bay to rid of the leaves and dirt and grime I saw in there!:D :cool:

Hey all that stuff is imported. I got the leaves from Mid-Ohio. The dirt as from Blackhawk Farms and Road America. The grime is a great place to hide things from Mark Chiles.
It's all Priceless.
dubey money? Do the dubey brothers have a new album out.

I was going to name the debris on your engine, "Peru Pud", or somthing like that, but then thought that it might not be politically correct and affend some one(like I care).
By the way, we are waiting for our first real snow storm over here on the east coast also. We have 2" (snow) here. They have a sh*t load west and up north (2hrs away) measured in feet(12inches).
I like driving in snow, it is a blast!.:D

I forgot, no new Dubey Brothers album(whats that?), er CD out.
I have the new Neal Sadaka Christmas CD! It is special!
Don't mention Chiles and I won't mention Bruce Eddy the theif!
It spoils the mood.
Just don't get beat by Chiles this season or I will make Sean T. co-drive with you(whatever that means)(actually it means major cone marks on your car and 1 fast clean run if you are lucky)

The Big C(hiles) said at Nationals he wasn't going to run in the class 2002. He certainly got beat enough, so I think his pride got a little wounded. I know there was no expense spared to attempt to do well on his part. Tough when you think you're cherry picking and get an a**-kicking.
As to the thread subject, I'll probably cut holes when I get brave enough to mess with the set-up that I happened to luck into and like.
And lastly, got 7" of snow last night. The wifey's 3 wheel drive Exploder (limited slip rear and viscous x-fer case) actually buzzed a few tires going back up the driveway after moving it for some snowblower exercise at 0:dark:00 this morning. Wonder what I'm in store for when I come home tonight in the Toyota after it snows a little more today.

I made the tool that Mason described, using a ratcheting box wrench. It works great. With this, very little cutting will be needed. All I will need to cut is a 'half circle' out from the bottom of each side panel. The beauty is that the rear center tray will cover it, so it won't be seen. Then to adjust the shocks, I'll just pop, the two pins to the center tray, and pull it, and adjust away.
If anyone is interested, e-mail me and I'll tell you the details of the tool. - Aaron
