New "racecar" scenerio

[SuperchargedSHOguy]

Well after countless hours of thought, the AWD Supra will be heading in a different direction, again (only the 4th major "renovation" to it since '01). I have too many fun street cars and the Supra just sits on my trailer. So I am expanding my "automotive resources" to include rally cars. Thats right, the AWD Supra will be getting a better, taller suspension within the next few weeks, a full roll cage and some nice rubber. Jason and I are also going to build his AWD turbo Talon into one as well. Look for pics/perhaps a few videos by summer

I will.

 

[SuperchargedSHOguy]

I will.

Dirt, not sand dunes

 

[SuperchargedSHOguy]

uh oh...work begins on it tomorrow and we are thinking 33's or 35's. Hopefully I will be able to order the new wheel/tire combo by Tuesday and have it by Friday

oh..
i was thinking like WRC rally type car.... not a lifted car with big tires...

but that will work too....

i would love having a WRC style car.... anywhere anytime.... well for the most part...

Going up!


















Still needed: another 3 inches of lift but my tires are on backorder from Summit and will not ship until almost the end of the month

 

[SASHO91]

maybe its just not my cup of tea...

either way... on the fab skills!!!

The way you've got the car set-up, lifting it should be pretty straight-forward, no?

Yes, I already put 4-5 inches on it by changing back to stock suspension.

you can always give it to me if you don't want to have another car cluttering up the driveway.

 

[SuperchargedSHOguy]

Gotta do an update with recent pics due to the requests






I will be adding an additional 3-4 inches of lift to clear the meats at almost full articulation. Very little fender cutting was involved...I was sad I did not get to spend a lot of time with the sawzaw.

I also have to redesign the exaust again now that this baby will be flexing.

...that's rather sick.....but in a good way!

 

[NotSoSlowSHO]

Holy Shat!

Is drive that!

 

[rigol2000]

I swear....my son has one of those somewhere in his toy box!

Though it's not my style, I have to respect your skills and imagination.

 

[K-Dawg]

Is the Viper next to get this treatment?

 

[2 4shofast]

Looking really good...Its going to be awesome when it is finished! :corn:

You're my hero. You ought to give Grassroots Motor Sports a call. That would get in the magazine for sure.
