Background:
Steve bought the car a few years ago with its current looks, since then he has completely redone the suspension and everything under the hood.  Steve has custom made just about everything on the car including the turbo kit and the suspension.  When he told me he wanted to fix the suspension to make it hook better I told him to call Wolfe Racecraft.  He replied that he would rather try to custom build the rear suspension himself.  That type of dedication is rare in these days of off the shelf parts.  The car was also completely tuned by Steve using the AEM and a long stretch of road.
The great thing about this car is that it is driven on the streets of Tucson on a regular basis.
