heres a link to the blog. Translation by google is iffy at best.

Anyone have any ideas how the top bar was removed?

Looks like @ 1:14 you can see he added his own damper which is a shrunk down version of what holds some hatchbacks up and lambo doors.
I dont know if beji and Lee are still around but im still here. Havent drove a wheelman in forever though.

Its not a damper its cut down delrin which is what the original top bar is made from. Looks like he mounted it to the frame on each side then to the top of the wheel. this makes me wonder its must be a pain in the ass to carry now cuase the top stabilizer is what i carry mine by when it breaks in the middle of nowhere.

The left and right links look nearly identicle to my ipd volvo sway bar end links... hmm I dont think ill ditch my top stabilizer... I just went and bought the gp460 motor... too bad the ported modification is sold out. Id like to achieve at least 30 mph.
