TC Design steering arm adjuster (spacer)
TC Design camber plates
TC Design adjustable ARB drop links
Eibach springs
TRD Brakes
Driveshaft Shop axles

Wait until you see the rear suspension! This week's Modified.com feature on the car centers on the cage fabrication by Tony and Joe Colicchio.

A few more pics as things are progressing:
Rear suspension--similar to the front, except for the integrated blade cockpit adjustable ARB using the Hotchkis rear bar, and Hotchkis upper camber link/adjuster.
This is the spec SPEED TC rear wing installation underway. I worked with my colleague at Racecar Engineering Magazine to determine the optimal rear wing height and angles within the rule book. He fed me some awesome info after doing CFD modeling.
TC Design made the mounts and did the install per that data.
This is the car yesterday before the bodywork was reinstalled and readied to hit the ground.

cool, I just sent them off to the shop like 5 minutes ago and they were telling me like a week or so. I honestly I have no problem it taking that long, it should about that long before the car is up and running.
I see in the pictures your running a modified T-netics kit? ( I could be wrong) What kind of power are you planning on pushing with the car?

Cool--they had a huge time crucnh for SEMa when mine were sent in--I'm sure they're back to normal now.
For the 25hr, the goal is approx 240-250 crank; the Turbonetics kit delivers 300 crank. It's actually a completely unmodified Turbonetics kit, except for the Motec engine management and sensors. Awesome kit--very well thought out--that's why we partnered with them instead of the many other kit makers out there.
