    Powerflex/Whiteline bushing install

    Several forum members are in the process of installing these bushings and have asked for my guidance since I've done a set already. It's been awhile so I actually don't recall all of the details, but here's some pics that should help. R&R of the front arm is simply jack the car up and put it...

    Blytheville Tour/Pro...who's coming?

    Ann & I are signed up. I have it on good authority that Jan Rowe will be running her MINI in STF for the remainder of the season and she's going to be there for both events. Co-driver David Hedderick will be running the car in the Pro only. The car has moderate setup on it so far, but David...
