Default Subframes are in!!111one

well since i was working on building the battery box out of some stainless, we had the welder out so might as well slap the subframes on. the box was turning out great but we didnt have time to finish it, so we installed the subframes. wow all i can say is they really do perform as advertised, stiffer turns and less body flex that i can definately feel!!

also, as per what everybody told me to do about my wiring jig. I ran a 2 gauge high strand cable UNDER the car instead of through the car under the carpeting and am going to run an alternator cable through the same route. In the end I will have 3 cables going from the front of the car to the rear. one for the battery + to solenoid, one for the alternator to the battery and one for the battery - to engine block. i will also have the battery grounded to the trunk. all of this will run through the big *** killswitch i bought from summit. i should be track legal in no time!!!

yeah i noticed a huge difference when i got my subframes in, the car rode so much better, as for the track where you live are the rules that serious? i thought you had to run a certain time to have a battery kill switch?

every battery relocation has to have the external killswitch. plus i will be in the 12s soon anyway so might as well be ready.

moroso are pretty strict because all the classes run there so they gotta be **** about everything.
