Oh ok I was a little confused, Gforceengineering does a lot of mini-tubs and there are a few fabrication shops who have done a few too.

Used to be our daily driver, now it's just a weekend cruiser.

Very easy car to drive, my wife managed an 11.30 @ 120.8mph in her 5th pass ever down the quarter, in fact it was her 2nd pass in the Monaro.

GForce Engineering sells the tubs and has distributor down there. He also sells modify control arms. If you check out his site you should be able to find what you need and get a good idea for it. He has a detailed write up with pics over on the GTO forums.

i will give some pics of mine.

i did the g-force coil-overs and latter did the tub kit. My 06 hooked much better and transferred weight to the rear much better. after my stroker and tvs2300 did the tub kit. made the car much more fun. i modded my own arms as i didn't like the solid mount that g-force does. my rear tire is a 335/35/18

finished with center exit exhaust and custom rear valance



back seat in no mods needed.



jig i built and stock arm piece in place.



modded arm i adjusted the rear camber in my arms camber to -.95 with g-force coil-overs in the center hole, 0 with the coil-overs in the bottom hole, and -1.25 in the lowest hole.





rims widened to 12"



side look at rear wheel.



pic of here with the hood i just finished building

the last dyno run was 960 to the wheels, adding a pulley, killer chiller and some meth. shooting for 1000rwp.

erl 454 11.8 to 1 and 12lbs of boost. going to 15lbs

no track times yet, but will rape a busa from 70 to 187mph

a zr1 isn't even funny.
