Glad to be back to the stock wheel finish. I still want some fancy Welds tho.

Just bought one myself. I like what you have done to yours. I hope to have mine running as strong one day. Nice build thread too, you put a lot of work into it.

With the old transmission logs were showing 5800rpm. Now that I'm manually shifting I'll be able to change that. I don't know where that'll be though.

So here's my next project. I have these Viking double adjustable shocks I wanna put to work.



So I'm going to make a mount to hang them behind the axle on both sides completely vertical. Kind of like this.




Using these parts.

What's the length on those vikings? I did a shock relocation on my s10 and had planned on running vikings, my budget said I had to run competition engineering for now though.

Looking forward to how this turns out and how much fab is required. Curious to see how you like those shocks. Does anyone make a four link set-up?

jsm makes a 3 link for the syclone. No 4 link cause of the gas tank.

I'm not sure, I'll try to find out for you. My buddy accidentally ordered them for Syclone length and he has a Typhoon which are much shorter. After these sat in his garage for months, he gave them to me. I never put a tape measure on them.
