New project

[XJHEAD]

Notching the frame for new spring pockets.

[XJHEAD]

Got a little more done.

This is what the stock mount looks like. Large spring with perch on the outside of the frame-rail.

[XJHEAD]

And this is still called stock suspension. lol

Looks stock to me.

Moving the spring in just gives you room for a bigger tire right?

Yes, that is the only reason why I am doing it. I cannot go to a coil-over.

New shocks finally showed up. Everything for the mini-tub is almost complete. Now I just need to order some new wheels to tuck the tires in some more..

[XJHEAD]

Stripped everything off the bottom of the car and gave it a quick spray. Looks much nicer than flat black.

Strange shocks this time?

Yep, they were quite a bit cheaper than a set of Afco's.

Mini-tub is almost all complete. Just a little bit of the tubs are showing. I may switch the seat carpet to black. Haven't decided yet, whatcha think?

[Grr]

looks HACK!!
that carpet does look kind of out of place i guess, not that i would care

BTW i was thinking today, how extensive is your fire supression system on that? Just engine bay or multi zone

Sad thing is I haven't installed it yet. It is going in this winter. It has 2 lines off the head. One will go to a 360* nozzle and the other will go to 2-180* nozzles. There are conflicting ides on where to mount them. I think they all should be in the engine bay. Some like one in car in front of you.

Better keep the carpet, otherwise you know someone at BIR will claim the interior isn't "finished" enough looking.

Big things can come in small packages.

Those got shipped to the wrong place I believe! My grandpa is missing the sprayer heads for his new center pivot on his farm.

[Christian]

So are you going to be able to watch the corn gauge go down with those injectors?

I just finished up redoing the cold side piping with AL. also added another TIAL blow-off. Savings of 13.5, I had stainless steel.
