Im home from work this week, so I decided to get some much needed progress on my SM build.
First up, and most importantly, was the suspension.
The car got the SM suspension, which consists of bilstein shocks, ground control coilovers, and Eibach swaybars.
I also installed new blueprinted hubs, tie rod ends, and lower balljoints
its almost a shame to cover up those shiny new hubs with brake rotors

Then came the gutting
well, most of the gutting anyway. The radio is staying in for now, and Im keeping the carpet over the trans tunnel because it gets unbearably hot (enough to burn)
and you can see my stars and strips Sparco if you havent seen it yet :lol:

did a bunch of other little stuff, and got some used RA1s mounted today on my other set of ATS

the car is going in for an alignment tomorrow, and to Piper Motorsports for a cage,window net, kill switch, etc on Oct 10.
I may just make the Oct Nasa race!
