I like it because it doesn't dent/crack/chip when I drop a caliper/alternator/contol arm in it unexpectedly. Plus the plastic laundry tubs are BIG and DEEP. I built my own formica countertop and sunk the sink into that. The sink has held up better than the laminate. I'm using a kitchen faucet with a sprayer. The sprayer is nice to, well, spray stuff.

Not all helmets are created equal. These (available at a bike shops) will likely be M-rated helmets (not to be confused with BMW-M) and unless you're riding a motorcycle are not optimal. Some organizing bodies for track events WON'T allow M-rated helmets, only SA. Since SA helmets are designed to be used for vehicular racing, this is what you should look for. That said, I prefer some M-rated helmets for eye port size etc, but settled on an SA with a large eye port so that I could use it everywhere. not to mention it was built for this type of use. Check into what the DE event coordinators will allow as well as the certification differences for fire and impact safety between the two different ratings. If you think about the differences in a bike crash vs. a car......(trapped in a burning car vs. eye port intrusion, sliding vs. repeated impacts in the same location from a roll over, etc) you'll see why there are different ratings for the specific application. By the way: Won't you have to pay AZ sales tax anyway if you buy it in AZ?? You could save shipping costs though.

KMS does not use Meyle products. We don't use them because, at least, up until a few years ago, they were the cheapest of cheap crap. Meyle is the company that sold plastic engine fans that would throw blades through the hood with no warning. Through a tech's face if he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Their bushings would last 10K miles or less. Their arms would last no longer than their bushings. Meyle has reputedly changed directions in the last couple of years. I know of several reputable shops around the country that use their parts whenever possible, claiming they are now the best that you can get, with the bonus that they're cheaper than Lemforder (which is what we use). I just installed a set of Meyle rear arms on a customer's X5 with full disclosure, and a very good price, to the customer. He is going to be our test bunny. If they are still OK a year from now, I may start carrying their parts.
