AEM gauges monitor boost pressure, oil pressure and temperture and air fuel ratio.

The front and rear of the car are fortified with tubular structures that the front heat exchangers, the front facisa and rear fuel cell are hung on.  These structures resist impact and speed repair in case of an accident.  Little remains of the stock interior except for the dash shell.  The dash itself is replaced with an AIM MXL data logging digital display.  A quartet of AEM gauges also monitor oil temp, pressure, boost pressure and air fuel ratio on the center console. Sparco provides the seats, steering wheel and harnesses. A Safecraft fire system holds 5 lbs of fire killing halon for emergencies.  A battery box holds the battery in the rear area of the interior.

The car’s suspension is somewhat straightforward.  The rear suspension is pretty stock but the lateral links are replaced with CNC machined aluminum billet pieces with spherical bearings to make toe and camber easily adjustable.  The trailing links are stock but the rubber bushings have been replaced with spherical bearings.  The rear antiswaybar has been replaced with a tubular Speedway Engineering part with fabricated links.

KW motorsports 3 way adjustable shocks hold up the rear of the car.  The remote reservoir aluminum body shock has independently adjustable high and low speed compression and low speed rebound damping.  The shocks also use KW’s frequency sensitive valving which greatly helps traction.
