IT RUNS AND DRIVES!! put 15-20 miles on it tonight and it works great. The transmission is shifting better then it ever has. I have a little adjusting to do with the Knockoff S90 Throttle body but the idle is already rock solid. I will try to get some pics up of the new intake/ Throttlebody setup in the car soon.

Nice! How are you liking the welded center diff? I love mine, I'm sure its not so bad with an automatic right?

The only time I really noticed the welded center diff was backing out of my driveway. It felt Like the car wanted to stop. I 'm sure I will get used to it or change my driveing style.

Yeah, I got used to it pretty quickly, even without power steering I really like it.

Welded center diff in my 1st GVR4 500AWHPish + a good hook did this:

I snapped my transfercase output shaft in the yoke.

We had to weld that chunk of scrap to it and hammer it out.

look at how it twisted the splines...I cant be the only one right?

I felt kinda proud and defeated at the same time because it was the rare JDMyo switchable one. I have fields of regular transfer cases.

Great build! keep it up!

Ive Drove the car off and on over the weekend and to work today. I had to fix one small leak on the end clutch cover, but other then that the car has been working great. It shifts nice and firm now I'm not sure how I like the welded center diff. Alot of binding and poping and clunking during slow speed turns. No difference at road speed. As long as everthing stays good I am probly going to BIR on saturday for one last race this season.

Yeah, my xfer case done blowed apart when I had a welded VC as well. I think it just stresses the hell out of the xfer case on a street car.

BS on that welded diff shit, this is the 3rd car I've had it in and no problems, I must say that I prefer a 4-spider for a street car, but i went welded since it was $300+ diff.

Good to hear its back together, sucks I will be so close up there and won't make it.
I hope its not your last trip to the track.
