how did you re-enforce the strut towers?

the last time I saw it, it still had a body.

pretty cool

nice work

Friggin' awesome!!! LOVE IT!

Crap. I just installed a brand new front pass side axle. Went out for a 2wd lap around the hood, got on it and BOOM. I have 5" strut spacers with 4" lift blocks. Why is it the pass side front always blows up? I beat the hell out of the buggyroo and had no problems like this. Do you think its the gearing and power of the engine or maybe a bad rebuilt axle? The inner DOJ went and last time it was the outer CV. Crap. I hope im not in over my head...or I will just have to baby it.

Subimonster-are you talking about the rear strut towers?

What brand axle? Cheap aftermarket ones are known to be crap

looks good. sounds peculiar for a Subaru! ha ha. How far do you rev the ST1100, by the way?

The ST will hit 8k in no time. Im able to use the stock subaru tach. What is nice is the ST redline starts at 8k and the subaru tach ends at 8k so i Just keep it under that.

 

I returned the axle, for some reason there is a difference between the carbed and FI engines. I went for the FI engine this time which was 30 bucks more. Hopefully it will be a little stronger. I already forgot the brand.

yea i was wondering because i have worked in the car business for a long time and i know that uni-body cars need support built in. i love it and think it is awesome i was just wondering in case i did a similar project. sweet ride...

I have some x-braces going between the mounts in the rear. It works fine so far. Keep in mind that there is hardly any weight back there too.
