Default What i was up to all year

So as some may have noticed i didn't race the car to much this year..i was to busy buying parts and putting them in it seemed as soon as i got the car finished i went out and bought something else. Unforunately everything is done a little late in the year, but i can't wait to get out next year. For those interested heres what went in with a few pictures.

Kooks Headers/ Y-pipe
Bmr K-member and Arms, Qa1's all around
Bmr Xtreme Torque Arm
FLT Level 4 Tranny, Yank PT4000
Moser 12 bolt
SJM Abs delete kit
Vengeance 90/90

and im sure a few more things i have forgotten about... i know the underside of the car is dirty dont bash me to much, it had been in the shop for a few days when i took the pics. Big thanks to my buddy Eric Boyd helping me out. Just finished up putting the torque arm, it came out really well, used a plasma cutter to get it up tighter to the floor Pics dont do it justice. And obviously Noyzee for his technical expertise.

Nice man, You got the same idea I do. That PT4000 is the exact converter I was looking at getting. That and I'm gonna try and pick up a 12 bolt for the spring.

Glad to see the car looking solid, you should have a blast with it next year.

i bet the abs delete was about 10-15lbs... i have yet to remove wiring though, with that it'd probably be closer to 20. Thanks for all the compliments!

Yeah there is always next year, hopefully i can talk myself out of spending so much money next year

Danno - have a handful of miles on the converter, and its definitely loose, not untolerable by any means. It feels like its going to rip if i can get it to hook which is a plus cause the old converter always hooked so something must be working. The FLT tranny shifts awesome to!

I'm looking forward to see how you're car moves out. With a nice tire I would guess you would be close to scratching 10's atleast 11.0's. That BMR setup looks nice too. I really need to relocate my TA off the tranny as well.

Good job man, you should have a badass/solid ride next year.
