Although probably not legal in Australia converting it to a goofy leaf would help as well.
I initially took out a heap and the only one left I could is the load bearing one.
I'd like to keep that to prevent axle wrap.

Goofy leaf huh, might investigate!
Thanks for the suggestions 8)

Here's the best image of a goofy leaf that I could find, this one is pretty long but well done.

A few months ago I traded in my 2013 Lancer SE for a brand new leftover 2015 Lancer Evolution X Final Edition #1246 of 1600. I absolutely love driving this thing. :D

And here's my EVO IX SE with some new goodies:

Two nice cars. Ones I'll always admire from a spectator. Love the potential they have and one of the reasons I'd probably never purchase one. Big ole money pit of constant upgrading.

I was preserving and sorting some photos and I came up with a very small amount of my vehicles, through the decades. I thought I would share a couple that were still in decent enough shape. Makes me wish I had taken more pictures back then, I'm realizing how many I don't even have photos of, now.

Stock V8 car in that picture. I'm realizing I don't have any newer pictures, but I has steadily been getting mustang parts installed. Nothing outrageous, but fun.

My mother bought a new Fairmont in '78. It had power nothing, we were probably lucky it had a radio...I remember being stoked as a kid because it was the first car we had with square headlights. :roll:
I learned to drive a stick with that thing. She said "if you learn on a car like this with no power assists, you'll be able to drive anything"... she was right.
Ah, the memories.
