    Is it a bad thing that I can tear out the exhaust, ppf, driveshaft, diff, axles, all 4 rear control arms, sway bar, brake lines, rear subframe and then throw that all on another subframe and get it back in the car in under 4 hours with a break?

    Wait, what? How the...

    That pop you just heard was my head asploding hear in YL.

    You're definitely helping when I have to re-do my brakes at the next tech day.

    Brakes are easy. Getting all the parts together is a bit of a PITA. Doing them right now on my car now actually.

    And yet you could probably tear a motor in an out just about as quickly as I could do rear suspension.

    We should do a Tech day, you on the motor, EMMI and I on the suspension against Alex on a "tear down a miata" competition against alex... by himself!
