wow i just put a rear sway bar from suspension techniques on my classic... i knew it would make a difference, but i didnt think it woud be that much. If you do this install dont go tearing through the turns at 90 mph like you normally do, the rear end gets pretty loose.. i scared the crap out of myself, it should realy help on the auto-x course though..
I would guess rain and snow will be even more nerveracking!!! I look forward to but am also afraid when I do such an install later this year.

Yeah, it's not unsafe or anything, it just makes the turn-in feel so much quicker. I was amazed when I first installed mine, but I don't even notice it anymore.

yeah turn in is definately alot quicker thats the biggest thing about it.. and then whe its inthe middle of a turn and your on the egde it just keeps trying to push the rear out, definately worth the money

Are you on stock springs/shocks? If so, then yes the backend it very loose. When I had the original shocks on the car, I had to really watch myself while autocrossing. I had to concentrate more, or it would get me into trouble. Add a rear STB, and the grin on your face will double in size. I put one of the ones I'm working on, on my car for saturday's autocross. I was unbelieveable how much it helped. The rear was so still, I couldn't keep all 4 wheels on the ground in corners. Yes, the Sentra likes to this anyway, but I've never seen it this bad before.

Hope you're not running STS because the CAI is illegal. At least most are because you have to cut sheet metal to install it. It's a damn shame.

well theyve never said anything about the intake, but if they did, i could always slap the filter up top since its a place intake

Who are "they" that haven't said anything?
Tech inspectors aren't there to confirm the validity of your classification, they're there to make sure car is safe to drive. Your competitors are the folks who must make a complaint, and they most likely won't do that until you start winning.

Bruce, do you know if I can install disc brakes on a B14 with drum brakes? What parts are needed?
sorry inside joke, unless you read Nissan Forums.
