thats the Pete-z bars, you still use the torque arm but just for safety incase one link breaks but it plants the tires harder on the ground. they came off of 95formula's car. this was my daily driver but became too unreliable so i juse stripped it and made it a track car. this whole build has been a blast and i cant wait till i get to finally drive it after 9 months of building. getting closer every day.

I've heard at least a few people tell me how great those are.
I can't ever seem to find them for sale anywhere though.
I almost bought them used last year, but the guy backed out on me.

Those sure would have saved me a lot of trouble with clearance issues.
(My torque arm crossmember hangs down too low for the Sportlines I had on there)

Look good man, love that Victor-E . Hey is that an Aeromotive FP Reg? If so could you send me a pn#, it's the only missing piece of hardware outside of the fabbed tank.

i have to give credit where credit is due and madman has had alot of imput in this car with questions in person and qustions over the phone. the madman motor plates and travel limiters are of top quality along with his lower shock mounts. bmr lower a arms and rear extreme drag sway bar and adjustable panhard all went in pretty easy as did the moser 9" and the pro fab chrome moly k-member. the rear was narrowed 1.5" on each side and has 15x10 prostars on the rear with 28x10.5x15w on them. the fuel system consists of a 5 gal cel and a1000 pump with an aeromotive style fpr. mahle pistons and eagle h-beam rods are going in the motor on an eagle 3.48 crank. cnc ported lt4 heads and the obvious victor E intake will help power this play toy. the whole car is stripped with most of everything that can possibly come out, door bars are the last thing i need to remove. th400 on trans brake should be alot of fun too. the standalone fuel system in the front is for the nitrous, i was going to put on the d/p lt1 intake i put together (which is forsale) but im just gunna go with a carb style plate system with prob a 200+ shot on it.

hoping for mid 14's.
