I would love to try a 4.10/ torsen set-up (or anything + torsen for that matter) - but the long runs on the freeway would not work well. I guess that's just more excuse to take the 'scenic' routes...

Something that is being left out of the equation is driving style and conditions. I swapped my 3.91's for a set of 3.73's and the results were both good and bad. General around town and freeway cruising were improved (the revs seemed better matched for the avg road speeds around here). The...

Figgie- he mentioned changing the plugs/ wires after pulling it out of storage (150 miles) What we don't know is plug type/brand (same with wires) but unless he has a cp that is weak, the difference should be negligible because of how new the parts are (unless it was the random chance of...

My engine runs great, when I push the stand around...lol I was wondering the same thing. It looks hot tucked around the oil pump though.

Its more about fatigue resistance. I have run heim joints in a variety of situations, but they just need checking over. As dirt gets between the ball and housing, it works like sand paper and changes the shape of ball and increases clearance. The issue here isn't the vibration that you feel in...

Ian - why would you not use heim joints on a road car? Is it a NVH issue or because the joint is open to the elements that dirt and crud will work itself within the bushing, wear the joint and cause slop and additional noise (requiring periodic replacement)? /hijack

Is you car lowered? If so, making the lower arm shorter than stock will be needed to help bring the car back into alignment (instead of relying on the adjustment of the cam bolt). Personally I thought that was their biggest appeal.

I actually have a drain gasket that you could have. Do you need the one for the turbo side or the block side? I have a turbo side that I'm not going to use.

Check out Nash's shifter thread. Grim was nice enough to do a before and after overlay of the shift length (stock vs nash). If you are going to spend $$, just do it right the first time (that is what I keep telling myself...)

That's what I figured, thanks for the confirmation!

Does anyone know if these plugs are part of the oil system? They look like they are part of the oil rail for the oil squirters - I haven't taken the squirters out to see of light passes from the plug (outside of block) into the rail or not... off hand, does anyone know if these are NPT or BSP...

there may be many like it, but that one is mine :biglaugh:

you mean like this:

I was going to use the same MTB analogy. Nothing like the sound of an alum hardtail though when bombing DH. Or the challenge in keeping it under your ass...

spend some time in the oil system. Make sure your pump is within spec, gears are de-burred, clean, etc. Make sure your oil squirters function. Seems like you have everything else taken care of.

I have had a JAWS DS for ~3 years. I noticed: -better shifting -less drivetrain noise/ slack -smoother accel I also had: -more rear end noise -a ringing/resonation (but no vibration) I think my observations are common for a number of reasons: 1. OE center bearing was shot. lots...
