Ivan280zt Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Great to hear you still plan to use it on the road, top stuff. How will the new setup affect road manners and handling in the corners. Work looks great, wish I had the skill to carry out work like this or even if there was somewhere that could do work like this. It is really strange to have my car at someones shop and paying regular price on work but this is way abouve my skill level so I am ok paying for it! New setup should hadle close to old setup. I am using same compound tire (2" taller), 3.7lsd rear end, and about same spring rate. I have skinny tire up front so no hard cornering for me.

garvice Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I'm extremely jealous of you Americans. Having a car like that street registered in Australia would be close to impossible. Enjoy it mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy it mate! We are very fortunate in many ways!!! More work done by chassis shop and it is top notch for work sure! I have right at 19" of tire clearance so some 325 drag radials and good size slicks will be so easy to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan280zt Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Thats a great shop to get right on it. Whenever I take my car to a shop it sits for months. Puerto Ricans don't play around!!! I was told upfront that my car was third in line to be worked on so it was sitting for about 3-4 weeks. My buddies S2000 is there for some serious work so they are going back on forth between our cars trying to get them done at same time.

If you 870 to the wheels..... hope your doing a 7;50 cage Ehhh don't really know what happened just one thing lead to another I guess lol. I am at 703whp but should be right around 800whp after gas and retune. For right now I am doing 8.50 cage since I do mostly street driving but when built motor and bigger turbo go in I will add wheelie bars and extend to 7.50 cage. Exhaust is staying like it was and interior is going to be redone really nice with sweet stereo to match! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebekahsZ Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Doesn't that battery need to go in a sealed and vented metal box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan280zt Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Doesn't that battery need to go in a sealed and vented metal box? It has to be sealed and vented if inside of vehicle and I dont belive that it has to be metal. Battery will get box built around it its on the list of things to do.
