Wow, nice score! Had 17" TE37's on my car a while back, I think they were 15#'s though.

10 lbs is crazy, how wide are they?

3.5" piping is nuts too, do you think 3" is holding you back?

I saw these new style clamps the other day too, they look promising!

Edit: Looks like Kiggly plans on running the linked product in 3.5" next season.


I don't know if it'll free up power or not. The reason I did it is the throttle body I'm using has a 3.5" vanjen input. I did a boost leak check yesterday and the system has never been sealed up this well.

The clamps you listed look good too!

The wheels are 8" wide.

Thank you for updating, those wheels are crazy light

Thanks guys!

I can't be happier how the car has turned out, kind of a blend of show car and drag race machine!

[Mark Leasure]

Merry Christmas to you! That's so light and they look great. Your slicks still have lots of life?

Thanks! The slicks have plenty of life for the upcoming season.

In January I started a new project on the talon. Decided to make a tubular rear subframe for the 3000GT rear end. This way I can put that rear end in an ideal location. When I used the OEM subframe I could not get the rear end mounted high enough. I should be able to save approximately 25 pounds. I used a little bit thicker wall chromoly 0.120" for additional strength. I also wanted to use urethane bushings that I had for the factory subframe. I still need to make tabs for the lower control arms. I'm excited that this is all coming together.

Make another one?
Looks awesome!

Seriously there would be a huge market for it.

[Dark2g]

Dude you are so rediculous. Your fabrication skills are amazing to say the least. What bender are you using?

[Goat Blower]

Can't wait to see it.
