    Did you get your alignment and front shocks straightened out? I finally got my rear shock valving dialed in. Rides sweet and handles way better than stock.
    Front end alignment this week.
    I've decided the front shocks are fine. I do want to add the thicker stiffer addeco sway bars next... Who has the best deals/product.

    Cool. You'll like the toe set straight ahead. -0.5 camber still gives you good cornering grip without wearing the inside edge.

    I remember driving your car and you weren't wrong about the front shocks. They have lost some damping and you would not be throwing away money to replace them.

    Neverenough auto has a good deal on the ADDCO sway bars. As with many parts for these cars there are no other options. I went with the tubular (hollow) bars on general principal; they are lighter and larger diameter. And all race cars use hollow sway bars

    However, the rear bar barely touched the exhaust loop as the suspension moved, so the exhaust had to be tweaked to clear. I just ended up replacing the exhaust with stainless works and it cleared fine.

    I checked and it looks like for $30 we could easily register as Marauders... Secret Service... that's what I tell them!

    Ripon car show

    Ripon is just down the road for me, so I went over to check it out this afternoon. When I got there, there were only 10 or 15 vehicles. I thought wow they didn't have a great turnout? Little did I know, but I found out why in a few minutes when I started hearing sirens. They were having a parade!
    At lease 50-60 cars, trucks and fire vehicles with lights blaring and sirens screaming came down the street.
    Anyway, I think they would gladly enter an MM. The $30 goes to LEO groups.
    They had a class for everyday vehicles.
    My favorite? An sixties era Dodge Power Wagon restored to or made to look like a ranger's truck. I also find the new Ford police only vehicle very interesting. I think it is called an Interceptor. There were a couple at the show including one from the SFPD.
    Now, I wonder if there is away to get your hands on one of those?

    Cheers,

    Rod, glad you made it to the show. I left before the parade so probably missed you.

    The power wagon comes about every other year. A former boss of mine who used to come to the show, that was her favorite also.

    The 4th of October actually. I will be there, but with my old Crown Vic. If you have kids, especially boys, they will love it. They usually sell burgers or hotdogs also.

    Plenty of parking on the street since its just like a small neighborhood park.

    Would love to see someone put a Marauder in the show and have a picture board about how the FHP used Marauders. I'm sure that would get some interest.

    I thought about it and it would be great to blow peoples minds when they see the engine. But, I don't think I want to sit for 5 hours plus my car has all the water spots.
