Benny, I get to drive this next time I'm home and it's running right!?! lol

Jeremy (FatFab) does great work, helped me with my evo and tuned it to a 535awhp mark with stock LICP, unported head, stock short block, stock intake and turbo manifolds, and stock frame turbo on a (believe it or not) safe tune

LOL Toole! If it's done by then I'll at least let you sit in the drivers seat making "vroom-vroom-pshh-vroom" sounds

Quick update.

Sold my blue 87 coupe finally! Now I'll be ordering a few more goodies for this car - starting with a Team-Z mini tub kit Still gotta order an intake, probably Holley HiRam, or their mid rise modular intake if the HiRam won't clear the hood.

Here is a quick pic of some sick overhead chromoly cage welds Fathouse somehow conjured up with his mad skills:

I have a PA racing K-member, not Team-Z, and the motor mounts are Dirty Dingo sliders. Not sure exactly just how tall the engine sits on the mounts, still need to measure. We might end up doing a custom low mount motor plate and/or a mid plate. Either way we're keeping the engine mounted in it's current location since the turbo kit has been built around it.

Been a while, but work is getting done on the car! Should have it back in a while to finish it up and get it racing by the end of summer.


Team Z mini-tub kit, anti-roll bar, strange shocks, + Team Z suspension.

Stopped by Fathouse Fabrications this morning to drop some stuff off/pick some stuff up and snapped some pics while I was there!


Cage-frame cross member with upper shock mounts added.


Rear end pulled for work - Team Z anti roll bar, upper/lower control arms, and welded/reinforced torque boxes.


Close up of the Team-Z ARB and welded upper torque boxes.


Drivers side mini tub - will be painted soon.


Passenger side mini tub - will be painted soon.


Drivers side wheel well - soooo much room for rubber


Finishing up some grinding on the rear end housing after installing Team Z coilover shock mounts and infinite adjustable instant center brackets. Very cool pieces, should help dial in those 60ft times


Turbo location in front bumper.


Motor plate - rough cut to be low slung, still needs trimmed to clear boost-making junk.


Engine bay with mid plate and front motor plate mounts in place.


Strange Engineering coilovers we switched to in the back. I've heard these same model shocks have been reliable on deep 7sec cars, so hopefully they will be good for us from 8.50-9.0!

More updates to come soon!

Very much so - I have been blown away over and over again by the work these guys do.

Me too - It's an AEI LS Pro universal plate. I can't remember if it's the .25 or .375 though. http://www.aeicnc.com/ls-pro-univers...-x-361236.html The mid plate is a Skinny Kid Race Cars setup.

I can't wait to start making boost again

It has a lot more than 8.50-9.0 in the build, obviously - but we've spent too much on other stuff to go 25.5 at this point... The cage setup Fathouse Fabrications has built for us should be readily expandable to 25.5 if/when that time comes.
