Well, let us know as you update - looks like a killer setup. Your suspension is sex with those times...

The stock 1.8 GTX comes with a smaller IHI and cast maniflold, good for low 14's high 13's, not 11's. Your friend will be a little disapointed if he's hopeing for 11's with the stock turbo.

even if he happens to have a gtr motor its only good for low 12's. only LOL a street car that runs low 12's is pretty sick.

The suspension is stock..

This car is just getting started. This is the first year it will be raced as a full race car. I still need to Lexan the windows and put a cage in. Then going to be building some "wheelie" bars, taller slicks and skinny rears. Already have the M/T fronts for the rear just need some rims for them.
