Holley nitrous oxide system. I haven't tested it

on the 1/4 yet but it sure gives a punch!

Whole interior and dash are fabricated from aluminum

with custom gauges.

Big rollcage is making the car stronger and safer.

Rear axle is from Volvo, 3.91 and 100% lock.

4-links connect the axle to the car.

Shocks are modified to fit from chevrolet

Winter 2008-2009 modifications:

The stock kadett wheel wells only handle 195 wide tires

and they don't deliver much grip so we are installing

MT 28" slicks to get more grip! the car will get new

rollcage and aluminum gas tank with carter afb gas pump

to deliver enough fuel for the chevy's roaring v8.

 

Slicks fit under the car after the stock wheel wells

are completely removed:

The volvo wheels are widened by 2":

The wheel wells and trunk are coming together:

Carter 100gph race gas pump with connectors:

We need to modify the driveshaft housing

because the rear axle drops in to keep the

rear of the car on normal level:
