How'd you get the shock cannisters in the back hatch? I want that setup.

Hello,

We tested w/ the customer (novice) on Wednesday at Waterford, Michigan and he ran a 1:17 flat with some more tuning to do. The car ran 1:16 flat w/ an experienced driver running about 85%. The car will be capable of low 15's to high 1:14's pretty easily.

The rear shock reservoirs are installed using a hole saw through the rear surround, then a cover plate is made and the rear carpeting installed. The Penske double adjustable shocks will set you back about $4K...but worth it.
