Solid subframe bushings for the 6. The fabrication of the solid bushings are probably the easiest part of the job, the hardest part is removing the front subframe bushings. Front Bushing Removal The first cut to remove the outer flange of the bushings, with a hacksaw or...

As part of preparing racecar for the first race, I quickly had to fabricate some spring seats for 2.5" eibach springs. Originally, @xfeejayx; and I talked about advanced tophats/spring mounts incorporating spherical bearings, potentially a rodend, modifying damper rod location and extension. (As...

Fiberglass Intake- V0 – the learning experience. A while ago, I 3d printed a mold of squashed intake, dissolved the plastic with a solvent mix and was left with a lightweight composite shell. Once it was done, I realized there were a few issues with the design, which will be apparent below. I...

Above is the exhaust that @xfeejayx and I created. The concept is simple: stock exhaust section with hangers cut and u-bolted to a 2.5" x 24" cherrybomb with a vatozone turn down. Sounds fantastic, took an afternoon to create and install, and frees up a ton of space near the rear axle...
