Yup. General rule of thumb is that the bold head should be toward the front or top of the car whenever possible. In an occurrence where it does loosen up it will stand a slightly better chance of not falling out immediately.

btw, jealous of the brakes!

Little confused here. Is it safer to have it installed like OEM or backwards?

That depends on what your doing with the car.. For me and Autocross.. if they loosen up.. I don't want the bolt to escape.. with the head of the bolt facing forward...its harder for it to 'escape'.. and there is some alignment things I have going on with that particular bolt..

So I assume they clear the titans without issue?

More Weight savings showed up over the last couple of days..

Seats With NO bracket Yet..

My uber Secret Rear Brake upgrade With KARTBOY goodness....

-3.1 lbs per corner.. total -6.2 lbs off the rear. which will compensate for the Trailer hitch I am adding to tow a tire trailer..

Coming together... Fighting weight should be around 2535lbs or so.. We'll see when I get it all together and get it on the scales..

Test Fit.... 2 Pot Subaru Rears for Clearance with NO PADS yet..

muuuahahaaaaa

Scooby South · 07-06-2013, 06:07 PM

Ok...hitch is ON..

pretty easy once you trim the bumper beam..

.. that was the longest part.. No Structural integrity was compromised at all.. Matter of fact. the Hitch strengthened the rear end I am sure. On to the pics. Any questions.. Feel free to ask

Everything Lined up perfect..

Perfect...

Get to pull the tire trailer for Match Tour in Milwaukee this next weekend..

Looking forward to it. ... No problems what so ever..

The hitch looks great! A very clean install. I like how you painted it white to help disguise it better. Good luck at the Match tour next weekend!

Nice hitch install, probably hidden without the mount on? I might have to look into that as well. Anyone have any recommendation on a small trailer? I'm guessing some Miata guys might.

I'm looking for a trailer that can fit a small tool box, storage for pads, and fit 4 wheels/tires.
