LOL IRL at the walkthrough. "This is hitting, this is hitting, that WILL hit, and this critically important upper shock mount is in the way..."

Lenso also did a 15x3.5 et10 skinny for the Hondas to use as a rear. I wonder if it would fit over a stock front brake.

Right about 550 RWHP on the rollers on wastegate spring pressure.

Current diff setup with a FD RX7 pumpkin and diff cradle all solid mountings.

The new Lenso's installed with 24.5 x 8 out back.

The front and rear suspension is way out of alignment and way to much squatting going on out back, it was hopping down the whole track had to let off about 100FT from the 1/8th

This is where I'm at with mine. Still got to cut the fenders and do flares, and some other stuff, but they're closer to fitting now.

Default Rear Suspension

Car currently has what I would assume are some Ebay quality coilovers all around. Went to the drag strip Friday night and the car was bouncing out the hole violently, I am also having issues with excessive toe out on the front wheels which made the car even more wayward, but should have the front end aligned this week . But what do the serious people run for a drag coil over or rear suspension, I am going to be installing v8 roadsters rear control arms to eliminate as much movement as possible. I feel like the springs are too soft and/or rebound is too high. If nothing else I will build a custom set of rear QA1 coilovers with dual adjustments and test out a few diff spring combinations.

Video is on Instagram if anyone would care to inspect and leave their 0.02c

Had a nice weekend at the Sport Compact Finals in Orlando, best time was a 9.868 and 142MPH. The suspension is still not fixed the alignment helped the front end, but every launch moves the rear control arms move way out of place and change toe angles to the point the car is violently going left. Have a set of V8 Roadster control Arms on order and next is a set of dedicated drag shocks and a PARACHUTE!!!

That bad boy does like to move around! Get it sorted and she should have a lot left in it. What size turbo and how much boost? What fuel? Motor sounds pretty heavily ported. Bridge ported?

Half Bridged motor with a 62mm Precision non ball bearing turbo, that pass was 24psi running only on pump e85. hopefully the new control arms and bushings will stop the wayward-ness, then need to find a set of drag coilovers to stop the bouncing

With a car pointing in the right direction and a respectable 60FT I should be able to match that Tesla... LOL

I have a few more pounds to take out of the car as well as she is still kinda heavy @2210 LBS. Need to remove the crash bar in the rear bumper, gut the doors minus the roll up windows, Fibergalss trunk lid, remove fuel tank and install a few cell and remove all the sound deading

Anyone has a clue where to find one of these for the rear subframe? I already ordered a CX Racing brace but want to add this as well, so I have no more excuses.
