the rear suspesion is kinda done, we'll be redoing the arms and where they mount to make them a bit more beefy . it now has a foxbody type of setup. the car uses custom made curved lower control arms that mounted to the stock evo lower arm mounting points. those will be ditched infavor of straight peices that mount to a new location.

azooooz also said something about getting a carb style manifold to help the car breathe better, since he noticed the car seemed choked at hi rpm's.

no pics yet , but i'll snap some today.

more updates

the rear suspension is done for the most part; the lower arms were changed to straight style ones and a new brace was welded inplace to act as their pickup point.

the torque arm was ditched in favor of mustang style upper control arms. a mounting brace was made for these and adjustable upper arms were ordered ( i hope )

there are still a few gussets to be welded , but the rear is pretty much done.


direct port plans are still on hold ( i didn't start it , but i did bring over my plumbed and ready l-76 manifold for him to try ). i think he'll run a single nozzle setup in the begining and when the direct port is done the single nozzle will bee the 2nd stage i guess.


we also need to get some new rear rotors, cause the ones on there are pretty much warped .
