Every car has a "Track bar" or traction bar. maby not an extreme one like you'd see on a drag nova but some form. an "a-arm" is only the aluminun combo of a trailing arm and a traction bar.
I call it a track bar but it likely has another name. Sorry. its the arm with two ball joints that extends from the rear subframe by the diff to the rear outter axel knuckle.
I found out twice that that bends when you nail a curb. And it bends right along with the rim.

To be honest, yes. I believe what had folks reacting negatively to you may have been this from your first post. Things just went downhill from there.
By making these remarks you take a defensive and confrontational (not to mention crude) tone.
The other thing that folks have mentioned is that much of you write is simply hard to make sense of. You state that you write like you talk, so maybe this is a cultural thing? It could be just a lack of common cultural references.
Two quick examples:
I'm sure it makes sense to you, I just can't figure it out.
As another person commented, I think maybe that you are getting the reaction that you wanted. In some online communities they are referred to as "Trolls". If you aren't intentionally trying to stir up trouble then please consider my answer to your question of "Am I missing something?" as an attempt at a helpful answer.
And by the way I'm a driver not a RX7 collector and I plan on beating this car like a cheap *****. Sorry RX7 purist I love the car but I'm in it for a speed fix and as long as I have a 13B and theres a cheap FC body somewhere I'm gonna run it. Also for the "know it alls" cause i know your itching to pound those keyboards like a 12 yr old with his first playboy. Think back to your first couple of cars, where they perfect? Where you perfect? this is my second touge car and my first track drift car. Or are you as a "Know it all" still on your first car and your not pushing hard enough to break stuff.

I feed back to a state trooper on the side of the road and state officials in court.
Until last friday, a bunch of kids came up in a HUGE group. Bad. So, I signed up for the D-Day with my ugly car.

Maby that's the issue here on the web. So many way to refer to the same thing. In college (1994 NJ) it was a "posi". Now its a LSD (Open diff).
I understand I talk "funny". To many hippies, homeboys and rednecks in my past. I've had a weird run.
And by "Driver not collector" I mean there's a reason you don't see that 308 gts at a real race. He's not in it for the same reason a Outlaw or flat track guy is in it for. He's not gonna get down and dirty. I do, I just happen to be an rx7 guy now (and forever). No offense to the collectors just needed to show where my head is at. My football helmet was never clean either, so that trend continues.

Would I act differently in person? Yes, instead of just calling you a reckless idiot and a criminal, I'd be calling the cops on you if I saw you driving like you describe. Seriously, if you're driving hard enough to be wrecking wheels on the street, you have absolutely no business with a drivers licence or a car for that matter. You deserve to be on the bus.
I take my car to the track and I autocross to get my thrills, and racers usually have a fairly strong hate for street racers, because invariably we all get painted with the same brush in the media, and it threatens legitimate motorsport. Sure it's expensive and takes a lot more time and effort, but it's worth it and you'll actually learn to be a better driver because of it.
Take it to the track and drive sanely on the street.

i think people hav reacted the way the did because your original post is hard to read, and there didnt appera to be any real question in it. after 2 pages, i still dont know what you're asking.
if you make a post just stating a question, the thread may get back on topic.
ps posi is chevy's name for a limited slip differential. like kleenex and q-tips.
