Grip Ronin's street/circuit build
So now ive had some time to revamp this thread i can catch you guys up with whats done. All work is done by me sometimes with the help of a few friends.
Currently the gear has been removed and ive put in upper arm camber bushings.. A SBD v2 turbo is sitting in my living room right now lol First off, some bass is a must, kenwood 1200w single 12" can handle the job. Drop in filter with candy, secondary cat delete by invidia, whiteline positive shift bushing, and some custom intake ram induction. Basic stuff Next I got some BC coilovers, whiteline antidive caster bushings and some xxr 17" staggered wheels and kept the stock tires Since I track the car it needed some track upgrades right?? right. wrapping your lights is a terrible solution for chrome housings. it kills lighting alot at night Baking them open was easy and looks 1000 times better New shoes wrapped in so4 pole positions still a 215, and my favorite brace of them all The bc coils bearly felt like it handled better then stock, but the crappy ride was more then i could bear.. switched up to swifts on custom rates, it handled better but still rode like crap so i sold them and go fortune auto gen5 and kept my springs Brakes!!Fully rebuilt by me and sandblasted by a buddy. I have since switched to Project MU pads Dyno day at R/T tuning. 188WHP while i was still learning to tune OFT. im sure i make more now but no point to retest NA when im going turbo New shoes and 245 bf goodriches, a 4.56 weir final drive and some track shots. I race it/drift it everywere I can.

Congrats! I'm on a netbook with a tiny screen, so I was like "he bought a used Dodge Ram??" at first, then I scrolled over.
