well since blowing the motor at the IDRC finals and running 9.64@134 the car was in dieing need of some upgrades.
so with the winter down time the car is recieving a slight make over and needed upgrades.

First off a big shout out goes to Diller Racing here in SOCAL for the fab work needed. he does drag cars, sand rails you name it, he got a LS2 Sand rail there making 450+whp on 91 pump its CRAZY.
so if your in SOCAL let us know and we'll send you his way.

the tubular A arms were needed to run the AE86 struts on the corolla ( KE15 ). car had a tough time stopping on the back end of the track, so now the safety has been increased a whole bunch.
