Awesome, I've been waiting for this thread for awhile now

I'm interested to see how the rims look after the add width of the IRS. Do size rim do you have in the rear?

It could be an Auto-X car, some people like the extra torque multiplication in second gear, but will likely make you have to shift into third.

Car is being built more for Auto X, But will see plenty of drag strip use also. I'm a firm believer that there is nothing wrong with the IRS (once you get rid of the rubber bushings).
I have 17in rims on the car.
And here is the link to the tools and bushings

lol, I knew that, but I didn't want to say anything because it seemed like a funny comment.

if its an auto cross car hands down the right move

i dont really care how much you know OR even better how much you think you know on this topic.

of course i know about the WOTM supra that is in the 7's maby 6's now on a IRS, and of cobras in the 9's on the IRS. this topic has been beatin to death and every time the SRA win in the straight line over the IRS. sure the IRS can be made bullit proof....FOR OVER 4G'S. why and who the hell would pay that much when you can have a fully built SRA with a detriot locker for ~2g's? not only that but if and WHEN you break a half shaft you will pay out your azz. the SRA takes the cake because #1 its cheaper to build, #2 its cheaper to repair. shait depending on what bushing you could spend almost 1g there.




do you think me or anyone on SVTP/with a IRS that drags does this for there health?
