stock wing will not be on the car. nor will the stock deck lid. most probably going to be an aluminium drag wing. a lot of support from the roll cage. looking into spring rates for the suspension currently.

Good luck man. I had built a 99 GSX for top speed runs and registered for the TX mile and right before the brerak in was done a month before the mile the motor spun a rod. THANKS TO AWESOME ENGINE BUILDERS!!!!

This seems like fun! good luck to you and your team, its even better to hear that its not going to be some high budget shop car. In the aspect alone you get my respect and support. Can't wait to see what you guys have done, Definitely keep us posted with pics!

Good luck. Is a very cool project, and something that is cool for you to attempt. If youre willing to go a little ways, there is a place in wilmington delaware area called Rhodes custom auto. They build VERY VERY nice cages. Check them out.

I found this from Noize's quote...
Seems like a 9400 limiter will be ok with this gearbox.
That was the IX 5 speed. Here's the VIII

The whole point of this is to show, hopefully, that any WELL thought out budget build can do whatever you set the goal to be.
And videos....we have a couple of them in the works, i'll update soon!
