I can't even see the pics and i know the sierra in question, i have some old pics of it parked on a 44 gallon drum at tuff truck years ago!

That was one of the best thought out and presented zooks i've ever seen!

Little things that made the difference from memory were:

No Body lift blocks, instad all the bodymounts were re fabricated a bit longer (it looked factory as!)

The wheel arches were basically tubbed out like a drag car to allow more uptravel, this too looked facory.

Nice paint job too.

I've got a pre-4wdMonthly mag article on it somewhere. Back in the days when it had 31in Bridgestone muds on it.

Short links give the rear steer effect. Sometimes it can be good somtimes its not. Its a bit hard to have super long links in such a short wheelbase.

Come to think of it, so do i.....i'll try and find it, it's definately come a long way since then..

always loved this zook, just the stance and overall look of it is awesome

Wouldn't the lack of triangulation of the lowers also contribute?

yeah i was thinking more of this..

go look at the old RBZOOK.. it had next to zero flex steer, that rig was great!

I would be guessing that whatever the reason for the rear steer it is by design.
The amount of though and work that went into that thing is massive.

wrxzook got it straight from the man.

this was my first drive and i drove very conservative out of respect for the the owner and steve - when the paint on the bottom of the floor pans and chassi rails is as good as on the bonnet you gotta respect it. it walked up everthing i put against all day and i got to say... steve has done an amazing job with this zook, words cannot discibe the drive.

ok we have been tinkering a little with the car- as it hasnt been driven in a fair while and it was pulled down to refresh it, it needed a little refinment and adjustment.... works real well now even with the rear swaybar in its road driving set up.... will go further if the brick work wasnt all broke and the rear sway bar was disconected- as the rear was only at one third stroke on the coilover it could go a lot further than what its doing in the pic :shock: :shock: :shock:

oh yea.... wrxzook said he will post up specs and build when he returns from the future... :D

Yes, You will notice in the engine bay picture that it also has no bonnet latch. It has a Volvo radiator, with transmission oil cooler in front and a thermo fan in rear. The latch had to be removed and the grill is popped forward a little bit to fit everything in. It will be fixed when the solenoid bonnet latch goes in :)

i think the coil over is mounted to a plate that can move up and down for more travel.. and they govern this?

I'm guessing it's a type of cantilever setup..?

or the dampening of the coilover is dampened again via the upper mount? (triple rate?) :?
