I finally bought an aftermarket rear swaybar and installed it last night. It's a whiteline bar, and fark, did it make a difference. The car turns in better, has less body roll and best of all, I don't pick up an inside front wheel when cornering hard.


*Edit* Looking at a couple of posts down the way, seems I didn't explain myself properly. The rear swaybar stops the inside front wheel from picking up, because with out an LSD, the inside wheel spins when it picks up, therefore you don't get the power to the ground coming out of a corner.

Comparison between factory and the new one.

The bar installed

This is my solution to stop the swaybar from sliding from side to side.

what's wrong w/ lifting a wheel?

no chance under load that sway bar won't move. go pick up some collar clamps from Evolv.. it'll be worth it.

I'm sayin! Isn't that the point of getting a bigger bar?

sorry to change the subject, but does anyone know if escort is coming out w/ a new radar detector soon? I want to get the x50 but if they are going to release a new one soon, i'll just wait.

I took advantage of 50* and sunny, and washed the P5 and the MPV. Wow, those were some dirty dirty vehicles!

Finally put the MSP heatshield over the manifold - hopefully that will take care of some of the engine heat and prevent it from going into the IC piping.

On a less serious note I replace the worn-out and faded bulb condoms on my Autometer Ultra-lite gauges with brand new red ones - no more yellow gauges, YAY!
