Tyler - I told you a long time ago that I don’t see any point in twin turbos and 800 hp if you can’t get traction and manage to keep the car under control. I’m not knocking turbos but I am knocking those who build their car so that they can’t possibly control them. Build a bas ass car that can pull some numbers on the track and do it for a decent price and …bada bing, we are all impressed. I’m impressed with Malitude, Thrasher, Mule, etc. because of the work that went into the cars. Show me a car that can keep up with them and drive 2k miles on a cruise and I’m messin’ my drawers.

Here’s one for you. Upper control arms. I am a fabricator. I know the cost on these parts. I also know that negative chamber is the desired end result. Guldstrand modification also achieves this – for free. If you want the look and light weight of tubular a-arms go to the local speed shop and buy some for $45.00 each (Howe – I think is the mfg). Now I know I’m gona get fired at by saying that, but if the end result (to throw down some fast laps) is the desired goal and you only have so much to work with, what’s the harm in going this direction? It isn’t cheep thinking it’s all about going fast and having a blast doing it.
