    Leaving in an hour...

    Leaving in an hour for a 9 hour drive (18 hour round trip) down to Greenville, SC, in my Mazda, to pick up a Moser 9" Rear (4.11s and Detroit Locker), Spohn Adjustable Torque Arm, and BMR Drag Sway Bar. Paying $2500 for the entire setup and installing it myself, once my engine is back together. I'm hoping I'll be back by 6pm, so I can finish my homework before it's due at Midnight.

    Wish me luck...I'm driving through Virginia, where the cops are the biggest assholes of them all...cruise control ftw (hopefully).

    And behind EVERY sign and tree with a radar gun.

    I hate driving through that state.

    Good luck on your trip.

    I made the exact same drive last night you'll probably be making, just longer (Vermont to Charlotte, NC), and I'll warn you now. Cops were EVERYWHERE! Had three close calls where they luckily picked another car out of the pack I was running with at the time.

    Definitely use cruise, but watch out for the speed traps where it randomly drops to 55mph for a couple miles (for no reason) and there's always at least two cops there.

    Well, I made it back...1086.6 total miles and numerous close calls with cops...I ended up staying in the far right lane and not moving for nothing.

    Averaged about 75-80mph and 30mpg...on the way back I got behind this STI that was doing 80 and used him as a radar shield...followed him for a good 300+ miles till I had to gas up

    Here are the spoils:

    I need some LTx Brakes since the rear has LTx backing plates and I don't feel like pulling axles on two rears to swap the plates.

    Anyone have a list of what I need for a rear brake swap?
