SOTTY Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) No photochoppin peeps ! Project "Phat basturd" is a full 3" wider now front to rear including the door sills and very much staying faithful to the original body lines , I've seen a lot of this 86 lately ( an hour ago) and progress is rapid ! , knowing first hand what's going into this Starion let me just say this is gonna be one helluva BEAST !!!!

EVOMINUS Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Is the original rear drivetrain staying in or is it going to be some kind of a four link design-build...In the pics we can see that the fenders were made with the original drivetrain but is this suitable for only drag application because with those tires everything is bound to explode in the starting line....?

We have fortified everything. Boxed in everything, upgraded bushings, upgraded hardware, 1200+ hp axles, caged it and fully framed it under the car. We are going to ATTEMPT to see what the stock rear end will hold. Honestly, Supras run 7's on a 7.5 inch ring gear with a TRD LSD in the factory rear end, factory ring and pinion. The starion is an 8 inch with LSD. I honestly think it may indeed hold up. The idea was to leave as much of the factory car as possible. In my opinion, once you tub the car, go full drag 4 link set up, etc.....it somewhat ceases to be that car anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOMINUS Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Ι agree with you all the way especially your last words about a car stopping being a car when you alter everything coming from the factory.Gοοd luck with your project...Now show us the frond fenders :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convette Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 The diff itself will be good, but the splines in the the tourqe tube are not as strong, especially once they get the slightest amount of play. So when are you going to post some real pics/specs cap't top secret? lol j/k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technology Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 It must not be a g54b and you must be running methanol cause there's no other reason to use that much injector or fuel. But that's awesome! Big time means big parts. May as well go full retard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
