whatcha talkin about?

Ah hes talking about cutting out the rear of the car and installing a total different style rear setup. Its what most real serious drag racers do so they can dial in better traction off the line. Adjusting the pinion angle they can dial in how had the rear ishiznit on initial take off. Also kinda boxing in the rear so you have much less side to side give. At the same time cutting out the rear inner fender wells a tubing it out
84 Turbo coupe 2.3T Modded with 88 upper and lower intake, 88 injectors, E6 manifold, T3-4 AR.60 turbo, 31X12X3 FMIC, Homemade MBC , Greddy knock off BPV.
