Suspension

The top of the strut towers were cut out and these 1/2" thick aluminum plates were put in their place. This allows for a great deal of adjustment, far more than the systems avalable today. there is a bracet on the side of hte trut tower for the strut tower brace which is removed in this picture.

Here you can see the extensive cage mounts on the rear strut tower. There is Also a bar between the strut towers under the aluminum sheet. You will also notice there is a fair amount of seam welding. I asked Dave if he had concidered welding it completely. He told me the roll cage made the chasis so much more rigid that is wasn't nessary. After having driven it a few times I can say he was right. The top of the sturt tower was modified with a flat steele plate at the top where the camber adjustments can be made.

Each front strut tower has a diagonal brace to the firewall. Behind the fire wall is a mounting point of the roll cage so they are effectivly tied together. Having the roll cage extend through the firewell was a violation of class rules so this was made to be taken out if needed. Depending on how you look at it this could be concidered a cage extension (illegal), or merely a strut tower bar (legal). It was a case of taking it to the track ald see if the officals protest. It never had to be pulled.

Heres the underside of the camber plate. You can see all the unnesary fender well components have been removed. This is one of many different spings I have, I got about a dozzen different sets for te car. that is also why the spring pearches have so much travel in them, many of the different springs have different hieghts. The car generaly sits about 3" lower than stock. There is also lots of skid marks on the frame from bottoming out. This car can be a pretty rough ride on a bumpy track.
