GUYS WITH MINI-TUBS INSIDE(interior question's)------>
 

How did you guys make the interior panels fit? Mine are not even close, I see many hours with a heatgun to make them even remotely go back in the car(94 Z28) Back seat has been deleted, any thoughts, pics etc.....


Thanks

David

My tubs fit under my factory panels.

Haven't done it myself, but I've seen several where the panels were trimmed to fit.

Any chance of you mini tub guys taking some photos and showing us how your setups are done? I know I for one would like to see them.

me too........especially if it's a convertible. :)

me too

here's my small tubs, I'll get some more pics this weekend.

It dropped the rear end about 2" and helped the stability of the car out tremendously.

hey Brady, what did you do as far as the phb mount on the pass. side? did you relocate it or what? on mine, it is a major hinderance to fitting my tire/rim pkg. with the new rear i've got that's narrowed 2"/side. any help would be very much appreciated.

thanks,
Dave

Brady, I have to give you props, that car looks sick with the DR on it in that picture.

Dave, I don't remember doing anything there, but I'll double check. My rear is narrowed 2.5" per side and I have 6" backspaced magnum drags. This combo makes the wheels tuck 1" per side. I have offset LCA's and I had to trim the LCA relocation brackets at the bottom to clear the wheels.

Thanks Dave.

yea i have the offsets too that move the lca's inboard like 3/4" on each side vs. the factory location. i know with the minitub it'll fit the well right, but the phb mount seems like it will be a challenge and i don't think my wheels will be in quite as much as yours are. i'm running a 15x11 with 6.5" bs and a 325/50/15 for now and then up to 30's when the turbos find their way on the car over the winter. tia for taking a look at it.

brady that car looks tremendous!

THAT POS...please.... Just kiddin Brady, your car gives me a woody, just dont tell Shannon. I heard you been contacted from a foreign country....please don't do it...FOR GODS SAKE..you will be doing this
:bang:


David

i am very interested in running a setup like brady's
but i see he has an LT1

what difference does it make?

i like the idea of running 315/60/15 drag radials
and i really really like the magnum drags

im trying to get the plan totaled before i start buying things
car is stock now.
well. back there, anyway.

You need a LOT of power to take advantage of the 315/60 like Brady has...ALOT, You can go low 9's on a 325/50 which is why me and my Dad are mini-tubbing the 94 we are doing....I have pics...will put them up later. But I can tell you, it is not a small task. It requires alot of tools.


David

Did I hear woody??? Dave don't cry about the car just come up with 40k and it could be yours
