What Rear Tension rods are those?? I need them badly for my 1991 MR2 turbo racecar?!

Here is mine in case you wanted to see - I am adding videos daily - been too busy to get to that until now. Next season starts in 2 months (we race in the winter down here in Louisiana because it's way too hot in a fire suit when it's 100 deg outside.)

I'd love to bounce ideas off of you...we could probably learn a lot from each other.

Complete Road Race / Time Attack setup. 1991 MR2 turbo:

Car ran 12.1 @ 110 in complete road race trim with stock boost (14 psi). I will run it next time on 18 just to see what it will do.

thanks, your car is light. well for rear tension rods I got them off rpm garage, they are custom ones, you can also get the mcs adjustable ones, off the mtbuggies.com,oh by the way nice time.

There is still about 100 lbs left in the car to remove if I really wanted to get crazy, but It will probably get a little heavier when I go to wider wheels and fenders and such. I could lose ~30 lbs off of the brakes alone if I ever get around to fitting the Wilwoods on it (I bought calipers and rotors, but got the wrong hats - I will get them soon).

Anyway, I will keep you updated, and I hope you do the same.

I did ALL of the work on my car as well.
