Arrow Scaled The Car This Morning

I had not weighed the car in many years and was guessing I had to be around 3,300 with me in it. It scaled in at 3298 ! My friend John was like holy shit good guess.

John found a leaking left rear shock and it looks as if the right rear is done too so this confirmed a few things for me.

Surprisingly it scaled out really damn good and we moved very little weight around.

I cut the end of the pipe off a few weeks ago. It drug the ground on left hand turns. I am going to paint the one intercooler pipe you see in the picture black soit blends in.

No need for a diet right now when I can just turn the dial on the boost controller a little more.

No gut box FTW !

Tubular K member and stock control arms. I do not like how frail the tubular a-arms look so I have stuck with the bulkier stock pieces.

I am suprised the front left is not heavier than it is given that big ass snail sitting up there.
