I saw that the other day while checking Donavans Dodge Garage. Thats one heck of a innovation and probably the best use of the smaller mitsu turbos in my opinion.

I was trying not to comment on the material choices. He must have been on a really tight budget although I cannot see myself going the same route that he did. I would probably have waited until I could afford all the necesary materials and such.

I do a lot of fabrication at school working on our Mini Formula SAE car. In my opinion it looks like he might have rushed a little bit on the mods judging from the way they looked. However if they work and they work good more power too him

damn lori. when your c-bodies were made.. disc brakes were looked upon as a fad that would never catch on. People were happy with their 10 sec factory cars with 4 wheel drum no power breaks and 1 chamber master cylinder..

Well some of the 50s Chryslers had 4-wheel disc brakes along with the 70s Imperials. Shit they even experimented with air bags in the 70s. However put that shit on an import and it is new technology. I wonder if I rear end a crx fast enough if it will turn into a bra for one of my cars.
