Okay i'll jump in and set up a game plan kinda, maybe we can add to this list as what people think and know you will need to blast your way to 200mph. It will be your decesion to add what you want and feel comfortable doing. I think i remember reading that you didn't want a cage. That would be your call but if you learn and know what is required it may help you with your build.

PS -- Even if you don't plan to put a cage in the car build it like you were going to just in case you change your mind down the road.

Step One - Chassis Modifications
1. Frame Bracing
2. Place to hang weight on the nose (seems to be on all of them)


Step Two - Front Susp Mods
1. Upgrade Control Arms (stock are flimsy at best)
2. Adjustable type shocks
3.

Step Three - Rear Susp Mods
1.

Step Four - Roll Cage & Saftey Mods
1.

Step Five - Interior Mods
1.

Step Six - Aerodynamic Mods
1.

You get my idea's - maybe someone with much more knowledge then me can help you out. I know there are many books on building land speed cars that you can use for reference. Maybe you can find some and update some of us on what they reccomend or require.
