You should have just bought a NASCAR while you were out there. It would have been less expensive and you'd be driving now. :lol:
J/K Rob.....glad to see some progress :thumbsup:

Gae, I've have thought that way more than I ever should admit. It could still happen. Weld told me I need a backup car.

Is that pump in the 9" just for the cooler?
On some of the race cars I used to work on we used an external pump and dry sumped the diff and trans similar to an engine setup.

I'm going to do a little research on the best way to capitalize on the pump. Initially I'm just going to let it pump the oil out and then back into the housing. Eventually I will either run it through a small reservoir or a cooler or a combo of the two.
I've always had a locker in this car. I still have the 3.70 detroit third member I used to run in it as a spare. Everything I know about the car is out the window since now I have way more tire, way more HP, lower CG, wider track width, less weight on the nose, ect, ect The emblems on the car are the same but that's about it. :lmao:

Rob updates look great, nice lock wiring job. Have you seen the movie Need for speed, came out a couple of weeks ago....Thought you'd enjoy the first 20 minutes or so of it.

Lennie. My wife has a double fusion in her back so I haven't been to a movie theater in a few years and spend all my $$ on beer, surfboards and car parts so I will have to wait for it to be on one of my existing tv channels.:popcorn2:
I did the safety wiring on my rotors but can't take credit for the one's on the third member.:D

It is funny how much conflicting info flies around on all the different sites. I have no real dog in the fight, just trying to keep someone from having the same headaches I did.

I've never driven a car on a track that didn't have a locker. That doesn't mean I'll be any good at driving this one with a Locker but it's all I know. I've had exponentially more time in Karts than cars and in a shifter there is no diff just a solid axle and lots of power to weight. So roll through and then power on is what I'm used to.:thumbsup:
I agree it's hard to sift through all the crap posted on the web about stuff. When it came down to it I asked Sutton what diff he preferred and for a track car he said Locker hands down. I let Brett run my chunk in his car and he preferred the locker over his tru track. So based on feedback from those two and my own solid axle experience I feel pretty good about the Locker. Time will tell :popcorn2: |
