Have you thought about doing an 8 or 10 point cage instead of 6?

 

[arprez]

yes I plan on it, But when I break into 9's there will be so much other thing I'll need to do: licencing medical exam, shoot, yada yada I figured I would do it all at once.

Got some go fast parts figured i'de fill you all in:

Suspension parts:

Some of my auto swap parts. Not counting the major components, were adding a kiggly flex plate, B&M trans cooler and ratchet shifter.

Gonna give the auto route a shot, like what I've been reading about it.

More fuel=more boost

And some more go fast parts:

Still waiting on the turbo tuff rods, and jm fab drag manifold but it will be hear soon enough,

Tear down hopefully starts this weekend, I'll keep you all posted.

Getting started on tear down:

 

[arprez]

The OE harness is a real pain, I've smashed my head way more than I would have like.

Anyone have advise on removing the manual pedal cluster its kicking my a%#

 

[Scoobystyl]

I used a 2 foot extension and a wobbly on my impact and didnt wack my head once when i removed my pedal assembly

The gauge cluster came out great.

The gauge cluster came out great.

Thanks man, Yeah I was going for simplicity. This update to the car has enough to go with it. Sometimes its better to keep the simple things simple.

I'm now removing the harness. I want to remove all un needed wire. I have a feeling there is going to be alot of frustation with it.

Any tips fron anyone would be awsome. I cant find a whole lot of info on stripping down the harness.

 

[arprez]

couple more goodies. Just to bad I still have so much to do before I can put it all together.

Make alot of progress on the car this weekend:

Got everyone involved:

 

[DSM IN MN]

Your build looks awesome so far. I love all of the nice, new parts!

 

[arprez]

Got the car stripped now its time for mocking up some parts.

Fuel cell mock up.

Decided to mount it in the cab rather than out. I think building a box on the inside to seal it will be easier, plus less drag.

 

[arprez]

and the cutting continues. Removing un needed weight.

 

[arprez]

finished hacking and wacking away. got the interior painted and reassembly begings.

battery box back in:

Fuel cell mounted:

Shifter in:

Hopefully dash install soon

 

[arprez]

Well little more progress this weekend:

Auto pedal assembly installed dash stripped a little and back in place.

Got one of the doors gutted don't the excact weight savings before I cover it but its a hell of a lot lighter. Still need to mace some handles to open it, but I have a good idea of how i'm going to do it.

I decided to make a steel plate to help support my shifter, seems a lot more stable now..

Got the shifter mounted. Got the seat mounted some what all the whole holes are drilled but I'm not going to mount it fully until everything else is in.
