Typically there would be one (or more) in the engine bay — and one on the firewall inside the car - and one at the fuel cell.

Remember that these systems really aren’t made to put out a fire — they’re installed to buy the driver time to escape....

The insurance policy you obviously hope to never need.

Better check the bottle. It may be filled with “sauce”!🙄

Little update
we removed the JRI shocks and sent them to JJ at Ultimate Performance for him to dyno them so he knows what he is dealing with and then we can do some more set up on the car and decide on spring rates and such.

Next up will need to be another Track test day.

Side Note if you are interested in seeing the car we will have it at LS fest. unfortunately we will not be able to run it.

Blake, great job on getting this pos fixed up, cleaned up and back on track. From what I’ve seen and heard y’all have done an outstanding job.

Maybe I missed it or was never mentioned on here but what was done with the rear suspension? I know like most everything else there were some concerns with the original set up, just curious.

:flag2::cheers:

Anything wiz bang optimized sauce from Sutton was cut out - trashed - or otherwise done away with.....

Therefore — the decoupled weak sauce rear end suspension was completely removed. It’s now a tried and true simple 3 link.

Anyone that has attempted to use this decoupled crap from Sutton has had to reengineer it..... his spring rates were wrong - his connections were weak - and on top of that - there was never any reason to go this route to start with — with the one exception — it kept you in his camp and made you dependent on him for what the heck he sold you.

From the outside looking in, when someone has that much to say and makes it
That complicated, the sirens better be going off. The analogy, “smoke and mirrors” comes to mind.
