First video of the solid axle swap is up! Let me know what you guys think!

So a little update and a teaser. The car over the last 7 Years has progressed and been refined quite a bit. There is an airfield a couple of towns over that recently race promoters have been hosting some no prep events. I took a ride out there, not really to compete with anyone, but to see how...

Wow, Blast from the past. Ive made a good bit of progress since the last time i posted here. I just went back and updated the youtube links as the tag changed. Going to post some updates soon, and i have a big project im starting also.

When I did my rebuild I reused the same gears. So all I needed to do was match the pattern that was already there. If you don't get the pattern and backlash set up how it was, you'll be riding them on a different portion then was already worn and could result in noise.

It does look low on the tooth. Mine was low, but centered higher. Yours seems to be centered right at the bottom of the tooth. Maybe contact weir And see what he thinks? We're those used gears?

Thanks!! That ones also my favorite!

Got around to taking some new pictures!

Well it's like I said before. Stall speed is reletive and misleading. Lots of things determine what the stall speed of a converter is. A small quick spooling turbo will make the same converter stall higher then a big laggy turbo because the motor will make more torque at a lower RPM. If I...

SO things just got serious. Made a trip to the dyno. 737HP at 30Psi on E63! First pull VS last pull at 30Psi. Converter is way too loose. over 20% at 7500rpm. Heres converter slip VS RPM on the dyno pull. Heres converter slip on my 10.20 pass at the track when it was untuned. To...

Well, "stall" is relative and misleading. Think of a torque converter as a rubber band. The more you pull, the more it stretches. Torque converters work the same way. If you apply my torque, the "stall" increases. This converter is VERY loose for my power level which makes the car very...

Any update on my bushings? Been a while, haven't heard anything. Thanks, Dan
