I'm in Mountain View. I love Alice's, Highway 9, Highway 17, and along the coast. You'll see me at the Menlo Park Cars and Coffee (James Artist) sometimes too if you go there.

What is it like to drive without the rear bar? I thought about temporarily removing the rear bar on mine, but even with one side broken there was quite a bit of body roll and I certainly felt more of the rear weight of the car.
Thanks for the very nice write-up & photos - you've posted quite a bit of good information. Btw, I really like the interior & exterior color (alas, mine is black/black).
And I'm sure Hershey is a big help.

It drives more predictably without the snap oversteer. It is definitely more "floaty", it digs in and handles the turn well, but with a lot of roll and you need to load the suspension more.
Thanks!

My 87 is 36P

It's a 35U, I've always wondered about the side decal and ducktail on my car. Now I know what it looks like! Looks great. Thanks for sharing.
