So for suspension to make it hook up the best what all should I be looking at getting? Ideas so far were Powell Leading & Trailing CABs and maybe the ZZP control arms? I know the control arms need bored out to work with a LNF's suspension. Are the CA's worth it or should I just do stock arms with Powell bushings ? And eventually I think I want CoilOvers and I think that'd help a little bit since I'm currently on sportlines

So I haven't made much progress on the car lately , it'll start and run as long as it sits still. But if I drive it and use any electronics it dies shortly. The tach and speedo drop straight down , the radio and lights shut off and the engine can't get spark so it dies. I'm so lost on it now. Been trying to check everything for the past week but I can't find anything wrong .

Turns out one of the wires got pinched and separated inside the coating and was grounding to the block instead of actually making it to the starter. It's fixed now! Axles are fixed as well. Just need plates and a tune until it can be driven. Then cams payed off and installed and ATI installed so I can have some fun!

Going to meet Alan tomorrow night to get a solid 93 tune on the car! Might hop on a dyno Saturday to see what it puts down depending on how tuning goes Friday

Vband clamp doesn't fit right because they aren't the same size on the turbo and downpipe. ZZP offered to remove the wrong size and weld a 3" vband onto the turbine housing for free. So now I've got to pull the turbo back off

they said the precision flange would be the same size as theirs but it wasn't. They admitted their mistake and are paying for shipping and fixing it for free. They definitely messed up but I'm glad they're fixing it at no cost to me.
