  1. Still not sure why you dont eliminate the lower bracket, mount the rotation link lower on the frame rail, this brings it inboard more, solves the bending arm problem...done..? honeslty man, even if the bar was solid, any bend in a tube drastically weakens it.
  2. Thanks man. I will be going to SEMA, hopefully win my invite to the big show at the race next month. I'm def planning on being at the quest meet that Scotty is organizing. You?
  3. https://instagram.com/p/7RG9kQqGku/ added a muffler to muffle.
  4. Yes very cool to be a part of the next season. Wish I didn't have so much trouble with the new setup at this event. It does stuck about the wing, but I have something on the works that will help. Plus I still run the wing for global time attack and all other events. Glad people are tuning in! I'm doing my best to raise the value of these things!
  5. why do you think my car is so fast? haha
  6. Damn that's a lot off work to put a weaker rear end in the car, let a lone how the geometry will effect the chassis. Looking good though. I love seeing people cut up these cars to make something more fun.
  7. Love the flat bottom, its a shame they didn't make more room for exhaust under there, like side exit. Going under the rear x member makes it super low.
  8. Stupidest thing I've seen in while.
  9. I'm not going to make it. Dont feel like waiting 6 days in line at 3am to see a bunch of evo dudes go hard on each other all day. However, if you guys want to do a mountain run, let me know. I'm down.
  10. Nice man. I ride too. Well..used to be a lot better when I was a kid. I got an S&M dirt bike and Sunday Scout. Starting to get back into it again.
  11. Just do it. racecar. my car hit 123~ decibels a few races ago when they were testing. Thats whats up.
  12. yeah they are g35's the fronts fit ok with a spacer, the rears...even with a 35mm spacer they still look like poo.
  13. I run mechanical oil gauge. Don't use plastic line, steel braided or copper. If you do it right you have nothing to worry about.
  14. Prosports are junk. I had them for 2 years worked great then would go crazy at random. Sent them back to the company to have them tested, they said they were fine, I re wired them several times.. still problematic. They would not replace them not give me a discount for a new set. Customer service was very poor. You get what you pay for. I use auto meter now.
  15. I still have faith in the stock rear... it just needs some help. I will have to change the exhaust at some point..which will involve cutting the rear floor pans out.. not ready to take that on just yet...
  16. Lol. It's odd actually.. its only happening in one side, but it's happened 3 times.. the driver side inner cv.. passenger side is fine...I'm writing it off as heat transferring from the diff out...what side is the ring gear on? Also, does any one have pics of the starion race car rear? I know they had coolers in the rear of the car..was it in the wing..? Can't remember
  17. Thats exactly what I'm going to do. Thanks! I keep boiling the axle grease and blowing off the boots...so..hot! No need to do a motor to a pump, just more moving parts. The electric pumps are proven and I dont need to use it all the time. My biggest issue is space under the car, so I got to see where things are going to fit... Same issue really....I need to get the exhaust outta there, once everything is heat soaked, its really really hard to get it to cool down. With the way our diffs are mounted, a larger cover and or fins is going to be almost no help.. Huge help Britt! Thanks, I was going to write about any used parts a while back. Please let me know if you guys have anything available that I might be able to use. Thanks again! yeah anything possible, but I have too much invested in this setup right now. If I swap to anything its going to be something way stronger than a 240 set up.
  18. Thats a great idea... I need to get a temp sensor in there for sure.. I got an extra cover, I'm going to hack it up and see what I can come up with. Everything is stock, (3.54) I dont have temp sensor yet, but will soon. Not standard on any 240's, but there are plenty of after market covers with fins and larger capacity. I'm going to do some junk yard scavenging very soon. yeah, most likely I'll prolly end up doing a Tilton pump system with a proper cooler. For now, I'm gonna do what I can on the cheap. I'm not interested at all in doing a diff swap, but as power increases, I may have no choice. One of my biggest concerns is the torque tube splines as they are taking a beating. I have too much money into my driveshaft to change anything now. exhaust wrap is in the mail. I'm def going to what I can for free before I spend money on this. Great find, yeah it will be all low pressure. I'm working on flatting the bottom this weekend actually, should have no problem getting air to it. I'm going to see what I do. I have no idea if any other covers would work.. I can take the super expensive route, scan the diff cover, build what I want digitally, 5 axis cnc it out with provisions for a cooler....but I'm poor and dont want to spend the money on a 12x12" block of aluminium... lol checking now!
  19. I just looked into pumps.. tilton engineering had one for under 200, but after the fittings, lines and cooler.. it starts to add up. I was thinking of boxing out the cover with fins to add volume as well. I don't have a ton of room though...makes things tough. I will look into the coating more..
