Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects

A little update, the car is awesome with the dog box! Shifting is the best, the only issue now is launching it with the tall first gear. The clutch is hard to figure out at this point, it took three passes to get some serious power to the ground off the line, then in second gear my rear end broke That pass was a 1.37 60'!!!!! No parts shot out but I can spin one tire at a time in the rear!

The first pass off of the trailer I tried to launch and just about killed the car, ran a 2.3 60 foot then ran the car out and hit 165MPH at the traps on a 10.3 second pass! It weighted 2420 on the BIR scale with full exhaust on it, carpet, door panels, passender seat and harness, with all of my safety gear in it. This winter paid off in the weight savings department.

I have a rear end with me so I'm going to swap it out and try again tomorrow. Does anyone have any 4 bolt lsd rearends? I need to get another back up.
