    Since it been a little slow in our regal area I figured I would post up sum progress pics. I decided for 2014 I wanted a meaner more aggressive look as well as improved handling and braking. I upgraded to strange 4 wheel disc a set of billet beadlocks and sum new suspension changes. Over all I'm very pleased with all of it the car handles much better stops great .We slightly lowered it a bit and upgraded shocks.I really wish I would have done some of theses things earlier. Apparently the look of the car has changed so much to people at a recent grudge race event I was at I was told that it wasn't even my car and I borrowed it. Car is still being worked on has to have a few fitment issues taken care of and hopefully I can get it all one color this year with a basic paint job. What do u guys think?

    Yeah same color! Lowering and removing weight caused sum damage to the car. Once I finish the major updates and getting where I'm happy I will break down and get a real decent paint job. I'm not careful enough. I have no problem taking a hammer to make it fit. Lol right now there is a sheetmetal screw in the quarter where i trimmed the lip so it doesn't rub. Quick fix at track my buddy told me I was crazy.

    15x10 rim with a 29x10.5w frame has a partial notch and quarter have been trimmed. Clears easy just need to repair separation in rear tub. Very minor work considering how far I went.

    On motor not really. On spray yes but with only 3 full passes. I was able to put more power off the line. I'm sure I have more tuning to do. I switched over to a set of da shocks on front and rear it has helped more with keeping the car planted. I was having issues with the car unloading itself after the 60ft are and having to abort runs. Even on a marginal track it a big difference.
