Tony Car looks great cant wait to see it FLY........

Turo Aug 15, 2005 10:36 PM

Looks badass. Just curious, why didn't you go with a Madman torque arm (since you seem to be going pretty hardcore with everything else) ?

NA$TY-TA Aug 16, 2005 12:21 AM

Bad ass Tony...... Shooting for Thunder huh...... When is the car sapposed to go to PTK??? That should take the longest...... What engine management you going with??? BS3?
Good luck
Kyle

Sweet!!!! Looks good.

SPANKY LS1 Aug 16, 2005 04:30 AM

Any pics of the cage straight in through the door?

Car looks great, Shawn

Turo: suspension components are sponsored by BMR. Its their Extreme-Duty chromoly stuff, not the typical street stuff.

Kyle: I'll be doing the engine before the PTK visit. Maybe a month or two away. Probably going to use BS3

Spanky: Only pics I have. I'll get some more later once I clean up the interior and put new carpet and seats in it.

8.50's or slower on the chassis cert. New rule.

MADMAN Aug 16, 2005 09:21 AM

Wrong it has a 7.50 or slower for the next 3 years. The 8.50 sticker goes into affect in jan. 2006

libertine1015 Aug 16, 2005 09:43 AM

Nice to see a 98 gettin some love since we are the Bastard year :jest:

WOT Aug 16, 2005 10:00 AM

Once again...looks awesome. But i got a technical Q for you. Why is the caulking poored around the backs of the subframes on the floor. Why aren't they welded in that area?

Dragaholic Aug 16, 2005 10:10 AM

Tony, what made you go with the front Aerospace brakes over the Strange? I ordered my new rear end with the rear Strange brakes which is what you have, but was curious as to why you went with different fronts.

jasontaws6 Aug 16, 2005 10:27 AM

Looks very Nice. Did you get the rearend narrowed any? What size wheel did you go with and what is the back spacing?

ProjecT 9 Aug 16, 2005 11:22 AM

tony, i must know...what do you do for a living? b/c im gonna seriously look into doing that as well!! nice pics and good luck with the car!

Really? SWEET, I thought it went into effect immediately. That is good to know. Thanks Madman.
