Holy bejesus! That's more than we had, except we killed 9lbs of crawfish. You guys are pigs! Hahaha! Sounds like fun. Sorry I missed it. I told Danny boy you guys should make that a weekly Wednesday dinner. 
There was 5 of us this time. That's why we ate more. And of course if a thread has EuroCarFan, cmansbimmer, Torquey5 and I it's only a matter of time before we deviate from the topic.

1. I would say the improvement was noticeable but not too significant. The front brace is identical to the factory bar and I even remember it felt the same weightwise. I did feel improved turn-in response after putting it on. I also felt the chasis was stiffer after the rear bar was installed. I used to have stuff in my trunk but they seemed to bounce around more with the stiffer chassis due to the rear bar so I took everything out.
2. I would send a PM to JetBlack. He used to work for Dinan and still has tight connections there.

Wow this topic got a ton of posts today, I just saw it.
1. Great car Tony, your choice of upgrades came together perfect.
2. Roleez - you better not stop there only have the two parts left that give the biggest improvements!!
If you are interested I will get you a deal

It's my friend's restaurant in San Jose called Cajun Crab House. You local guys should check it out. They got a great menu of cajun foods. Man, I can still go back there today and have more crawdads.

I could eat 10lbs of crawfish, kitchen sink style, by myself...no problem! That place is the bomb!
Nice to know you drove home to Emeryville from San Jose after drinking all that. Hey T/J - Next time, let this guy crash on your couch. He shouldn't be driving...whether he thinks he's sober enough or not. Sorry, off topic again.
