The factory struts didnt stand a chance. The valving is totally gone and the bilstein was doing all the work.
Out with the old!

Fuel Cell.
The floor is not flat behind the rear seat.  I cut out the unflat area only to use the strength of the factory crossmember built into the floor.

Dont buy the angular spout for this fuel cell (Summit) shown in the photo above..  There is no way to reach inside to hold the bolt heads, so its basically impossible to install.

What a mess, but making progress in several areas at once.

Looking good David - I had a similar problem with my jegs branded rci ripoff fuel cell. What a piece of junk! all the bolts were over tightened, where's the foam?, the lower plate for the bulkhead is plastic so the 'studs' don't really work right, etc...

I guess you get what you pay for.

Tentatively, four PIAA PRO 80XT's.
Not much new today.
I picked up these camber adjusters because my struts are spaced down a ways.  They seem pretty cool but are much smaller in diameter than the original bolt.  Time will tell. I am going to carry the original bolt just in case.

The new front shock package arrived today.  I test fit them.  I will need to remake the upper mount for the auxillary shock.  To be expected.

Progress is slow. I took the weekend off since there is lots of time left.

Lower shock mounts.

I revalved the new shocks that are going on the rear.


All done.

Nice... I decided to really dig in over the weekend and wash my racer.
