Custom "Hammond" Springs and struts with a lot more caster for that awesome "it steers its self" feeling ;)
Stock engine
T5
Koni yellow shocks all around
Spool

and thats how i did it for most of last year going my hardest all track day with near enough to no problems what so ever! Loved it!

BUT THEN....

BOOM. (things still needed to be changed in this picture, hoses, heat shield ect)

Borgwarner K27 (Actross truck trim)
6boost mani
custom 4puc clutch
fuel system
440cc injectors

not bad looking rig mate, all fun and games til you break something, and then you get to build it better than before. Looks like you have a bit of fun with it too. Might catch you down there next time, I will probably be working

if you float down Melrose drive at all, you are likely to see the missus' ED Mont wagon out the front of mine, or mine up the drive. Don't leave it out on the street seeing as every other car I have had has been egged out the front. I will be looking out for your car now
