That blows! But better today than in two weeks. Plenty of time for a new one.Quote:

Jovany has the old diff out and will get the new diff in tomorrow. The old diff is a large paper weight. It's literally in pieces. One swiss cheese differential for free if anyone wants it! ::Banana::
Sorry to hear about the damage but I bet you'll like the new diff climbing up outta the bitch!
Holy Smokes, you were still running the puny 1.6 diff? ::Shrug::
I'm surprised it lasted this long, you must be paw-pawing it. ;)
are you going to keep the 4.30 gear ratio?
He does drive around the course with his left blinker on the whole time.Quote:

Bobby's new diff will pull him out of trouble when William practices his late-braking techniques...
Not sure if this video helps the kittens but here it is.

I though I'd show you pics of Bobby's rear-end. ::Bum::
It exploded out the lower left side of the case.

A bolt shot up through the upper left of the case as well.
Yikes!

This would have most certainly been an end of Bob's weekend and a tow home. Good timing little red car! ::Good::

I should be able to turn a 1:26.9 in my car. EEK!!! I got in that car and in just like 7 laps ran a 27 without even trying, in a car I don't own.
Nice lap. What is the p/w in that thing?
You can trust that it's built to the limits of the class and on my car at 2230lb my power limit was going to be 168whp; that car is probably lighter. He and that car won PTC and TTC at nationals last year and he's probably doing it again this year, but in another car. That was done on NT-01s too, he didn't even put the Hoosiers on which are still legal in C.Quote:

You must have the video from Hallett!Quote:

Suddenly that intake is super popular. I tried a bunch of different ones and this one did the best and doesn't heat soak.
