I believe the rear end has been replaced, and I haven't even touched the top half of the rpm's yet

a street port would explain why it is so much faster

the last guy said it made 393 whp on the dyno, must have had some more work done

[backalleyracer]

I swapped a clutch in tonight ACT  pressure plate and 6 puck sprung clutch - I also found out that my rear end is an open diff, as well as being a NA rear end...         


fortunately, I have a spare rear end from my other car, but I need to weld the diff, so hopefully I can get that done tomorrow

visually, i feel the red one was superior.

[backalleyracer]

perhaps...

but function > form

I'll paint this guy soon enough anyway, a colour I actually enjoy too  



hello my friends...

[backalleyracer]

Well here is my post pro-am results...

I got out there after working on the car until 5 am replacing the brakes, E brake, and a few other touches...

I only had 1 hour of sleep  

Never the less, I went out and tried my best  



I did some test runs on the car before swapping tires, and it was confirmed, that the Viscous Diff was basically running like an open diff - save for the fact that it liked to lock up randomly on me every once in a while...it wasn't very fun



I did what I could and with fresh tires, it helped my runs be more consistent



After a while, even with the diff situation, I was able to lay down some nice runs. But when it came time to compete, things didn't work out so well.



On my runs, I spun both times, it was upsetting - but a well learned result. The car has a long way to go and this was the first time I have ever driven her, the car already has a new diff being put in, and by the time the next event comes around, I will hopefully have my angle kit, my cage, and a bit more power

 

See you guys out there

[backalleyracer]

I think I decided I am going to put on the stock TII sideskirts and wing on the car, and then paint it

I am going to be heading out to cali with the car soon to get it re-tuned and make some more power

[backalleyracer]

So i put my angle kit in - what a difference ( finally came in after 2 months of waiting...)

I went to the track 2 days in a row to have fun on them

The RS3's in the rear are still holding up, these things last a while !!

I found one sick pic from pro-am, with stock angle....



and if anyone hasn't figured out yet, my car is a machine gun/flamethrower

[Rotarypower]

Did you weld that diff yet?

[driftfcbuckey]

i sold him my S4 TII Clutch type diff out of my TII backup car.

he's on for sure! good thread aaron! the spindles/angle kit help tons! it's like night and day. i like the faster reacting lock-lock ratio.

if you need help getting the spindles to go on, and not rub, and down with kicking me $$ for time, i'll get you all set up. the new design forrest has is the best available for our cars.

[backalleyracer]

well... we traded parts

I am unsure why I would pay you money, as forrest said he would redo my spindle because it does not fit.

I have been slacking off, but I can't do much more than qualify at pro am anyways

[backalleyracer]

Well I went out to pro-am's and had a lot of fun

I crashed my car about an hour before qualifying and bent my inner and outer tie rod ( I also bent my rack - but didn't know at the time)

I made a decision to travel back home and take the tie rod off of a parts car I have. Unfortunately, I live next to the Red Rock Casino and it takes me about 40 minutes to travel there, I did it in 20. I hardly had time, and drove like I had no time on the free way.

I made it back only then to find my rack is bent and the car would not turn right at all. We fixed it as we could with a sledge hammer and some other barbaric techniques,  but it was still way off. My toe was way off as well and showed itself with a new steering feel (not a good one).

I missed my first chance to qualify, but I gave it a shot on the second attempt - I was just happy I didn't spin.

I guess it was enough to put me in top 16 - it was hardly a good run, I was just working with what I had.

Thanks everyone for the help and support

I am sure picture will come up sometime soon

i am unsure why i would do anything for anyone for free, so sorry if you took it the wrong way. just trying to offer help to a fellow rotary dude as mine are the same spindles, and they went on without a hitch, and have held up amazing so far without any issues.

you seem hostile anytime i try to help you except for when you call me needing parts or help getting your car together... sorry man. good job on your build. it looks good. i'm not trying to do anything but help you aaron. just thought $10 or so for gas or something for me to come work on your car was understandable.

how is this, or nearly I have said hostile ?

They do not fit, and forrest said he would redo them.
