Eh, how?

I've already cut the spare wheel well out, run a belly pan and cut huge holes in the bumper.

I am open to any ideas, thanks!

When I read the thread, your post wasn't there, so it looked as though it was directed at me!

Good runs man. So I'm going to assume that your clutch issues are over now? What kinda transmission are you running to take all that abuse?

Yeah, the ClutchMasters Twin Disc is taking the abuse, so I will be sticking with it for the mean time.

I use a P11-144 (70 series) transmission, QG18 gear stacks, that have been cryo' treated and shot peened, NISMO LSD and use truck differential oil (85w-140). The axles are custom and are made from 300M material, stock CV's and hubs, but with NISMO long studs

It seems to be the best option at the moment and if I break it, I can replace it for only $200.

I explain it to people this way. Next time you're driving down the road doing 50mph, hold your hand out the window making a cupped closed motion. You'll feel the wind pushing it back right? What happens when you open your fingers? Most people think the holes in my bumper are for tail lights lol.

^Lol. Thats what I heard. Then again I hear they create more drag and the proper way is to build a diffuser that goes under the area under the car and out the back. Who knows!

Very impressive car man. That thing is mean.

Yeah diffusers are supposed to work well, but I'm more of the "remove everything I can" type of guy, as opposed to adding more to it lol.
