I'm sure it doesn't perform like a vlsd at this point either. thing is a glorified weak-*** 6" open at this point.

So at this point I have another NA shell with a rod knocked bp4w and supposedly an rx7 turbo torsen

I can get a stock 1.8 or build the one I got. I think I'll have to get rid of one of these cars so I have to consider that as well.

If I ever buy a wing it will be a cheap one so that when it gets stolen buy some dipshit ricer loser I don't have to worry so much. Or I will have to take it off every time I go anywhere other than the track, which is probably a good idea anyway.

I bought the CF one, apparently the ABS ones are floppy and just for show.

Hi Everyone, and thanks for reading this if you have up until now.

I removed the rear sub-frame as the alignment bolts were seized and of course the excuse to swap out the VLSD for a better option.

I was able to find a complete MSM rear subframe, and the MSM front brakes for and will be installing them.

old crusty- anyone want?

I'm going to be making a front splitter and airdam, as well as potentially flat bottom and rear diffuser.
