Very cool! One thing I noticed was your comment on the handling... did you adjust the rear links to zero the rear bump/roll-steer? It sounds like you might have the issue with twitchy handling others have had, even after a pro alignment. Toe and camber aren't enough to get the geometry right, Wayne posted a good how-to.

This was PRE alignment. I used a tape measure and my eye balls. It's much better after using the Hunter but as with any MR car snap oversteer is a very real and dangerous thing.
I was wondering if that test drive video was shot before the lateral link kit was installed. Other than that, car's looking good. I'm starting to like how the engine sounds unmuffled.

Yep. Rear toe was wrong, track width was wrong. It's 100% now and drives MUCH better. It's pretty neutral leaning toward push which is how I wanted it. Much safer. Our R will be the opposite, loose is fast and on the edge of out of control!
