That seems like way more of a headache than you should have to go through in my opinion.

then you aren't serious about raceing....those steps are very simple compaired to what most have to do...dude has it down to a science and simple enough to calibrate at the track.

Just cause it hooks up great at one track doest mean it will at another...or if the temp outside changes a few deg....

I just regret fully tubbing my car out....if I could do it over again would have done a solid acle in the stock chassis w/ some ladder bars and a 10.5" tire....instead of this mess...

Yeah but that's still an amazing car. what's wrong with the tube? lots of extra work? I dont really know what your other idea would look like I dont know enough to picture the "ladder bars" in my head. i'll google it.

at least you can have the full "HOLY SHIT" effect when other supra owners look at what you've done.... i mean you have no trunk... that's got to say SOMETHING. hahaha....

hows that build coming by the way i was checkin your thread and it warned me not to post because 201 days had gone by :biglaugh:

its not that I'm not serious about racing my 9inch was just much more simple to calibrate for ideal conditions and to slow66 that thing is absolutely beautiful.
