This picture is a little misleading because of the angle. There is no sharp bend in that hose at all, it's just the perspective.


Good job Blake. Glad to see your not using a bunch of 90's, that reduces flow by like 4% or something.

Blake, those struts look new in the rear. What kind are you running?

Going off of the first pic I'll guess they are KYB adjustables....?

Yeah, I tried to avoid the one 90 that is on there, but I couldn't make it fit without out. The rest of the system doesn't have anything sharper than 22.5* until it hits the rails. Hopefully next week I'll have it fired up and I can hear how god awful loud that A1000 is.

As the others mentioned, they are indeed KYB AGX struts. They had ~250 miles on them when I bought this chassis, and I've put about 800 miles on them since then, so they're basically still new.

Blake, looks real good man. You think you'll be able to replicate all this crap in a year? I know your brain is nearly full.

I'm relatively confident that the next turbo system(s) I build will be much nicer than the one on my car.

I wonder if they'll put it in the showroom. If so, I may have to go drool on it at lunch.

Haha, mine will probably be put on hold if I go through with this Challenge car idea.

I'm pretty sure weve done more than 105 posts in 2 days before We might have had some motivation though. Hell I think you pissed away 105 posts in couple of days yourself

just helping out with the post whoring! LOL

Blake, I installed Strange 10 ways on both front and rear. There is definitely a difference between settings 1 and 10, but i feel these shocks may be closer to the cheap end compared to yours. I looked into getting the kyb agx's but couldnt hack the price last summer. I'll see how they do with my new setup and if they dont work, i'll sell them. There are a million stangs in town and i am sure someone will want them.
