I still need to have the short subs cut out and replaced by the full length version.

Alignment
Reinstall the Anti roll bar

Little bit of dial in and I should be ready to hit the track again:yes:


Thanks to Devin, Shane, and Dan from PSR for the chassis fix, K-member and gear setup.

Also Daryl Smith for getting the rear end housing fixed.

Launch and a bunch of stuff went boom.

Tranny, Axles, Axle Tubes, Gears, Torque Boxes, Upper control arms, etc.

So everything before was stock? Had you just finished mods or had you raced before? Im surprised you hadnt previously welded the torque boxes and axle tubes.

No everything was the same, the battle boxes were only bolted in.
I also went with a twin disc clutch to allow a little slip on launch.
