How's the trans holding up?
So far fine
Did you do anything more than the LSD?
Great build bro, good luck.
BTW I bought my Quaife from here: http://thmotorsports.com/quaife/quai.../i-307327.aspx
Now its at $771 I don't know if you can get it cheaper somewhere else, It was @ $722 back in the summer when I got it.
And you probably know it from your research but the speedo gear is for a 2g: MD717879
not really, when I had the lsd installed the mechanic inspected it and replaced some sychros and that's it. I also run sychromesh I dunno if it helps but the shifts feel smooth.
I destroyed 1 recently at 320wtq so it all depends on tranny condition and driving style jigz. Just tossed my spare that I rebuilt in with a warrantied quaife I'll see how it holds up
YUSS!! About time to get this out on the boards. Can't wait to see more updates and get a ride in that beast.
I will be thoroughly impressed if that chassis ever drives worth a crap again. Those frame rails are way too tweaked to even provide what little they could before. We have a very must frame setup even when it's unmolested.
If it drives like shit then I buy a shell. I've seen cars come back from worse. The work and money is no issue.
Good work. U r making me jealous since I have enough parts to build a full spare long block minus a couple small thing.
Isn't the IC too tall to fit under that crash bar??

If your new rad support fit without issue's + major adjustments, I wouldn't worry about it.Quote:

Thanks manQuote:

Yeah I stripped it out pretty hard. planning on taking everything out of the rear doors as well. After I finish the car, I am planning on investing some good money for the "driver mod". Haha. After the accident, i realized I need to take a few learning curve events, etc because my autox experience was in an automatic galant and my last event proved I have much to learn behind the wheel of something with more power. stick shift, etc. The track/autox is completely different from fucking around being foolish on the street.Quote:

I like autox but to tell you the truth, the cones confuse the shit out of me. Being colorblind doesnt help.
I cant wait either. Im trying to accrue some vacation time and convince my wife to come this year.Quote:

Not much done this week due to work and a bent frame scare.
Got the car measured friday and she is spot on so we are for sure keeping this current shell.
I had trouble getting the headlights to line up with the fender and after a few adjustments to the core support I was able to line it up.

After the adjustment. Sorry for the dark pic.

Drivers side is pretty much identical. But Im going to buy a new set of fenders just to take the "fenders are crooked" out of the equation.
The way she is sitting

are you going to get fiberglass fenders?
I know color blindness really hurts the ability to see the cones (what spectrum color blind are you?) but it will help with being quick and being smooth and most importantly being both at the same time. The cones slightly confused me when I started, but here after 9 years of racing I don't really see anything other then the big picture of the course.
They have Evo School for autocross that I highly recommend, it will quicken your reaction times, refine your instinctual reactions and make you smooth. When you go from an autocross to a road course everything slows down, your turns are farther apart, your turns aren't as sharp, but you are at a higher speed, so when the backend swings out, or something like that its very good to have those quick reactions and instincts to get you through the unexpected.
I have trouble distinguishing blue from purple, red from brown, yellow from green, and sometimes pink from grey.
glad to see this is comin back! top work
i really like these rims. im looking for a set similar for my '13 ms3. are these rota torques?Quote:

The white car I posted is Brandon underated or he's also known as 4g64t on other forums.
Glad to see BabyG coming back to life!
