Mind you this car is actually being build to be driven with very limited auto-cross.

This quite disturbing as I included the c-clip eliminators to my Moser rear end when I ordered it directly from Moser and told them the car was primarily for street use but occasional track use. The guy NEVER said no, this won't work for you!! :bang:

From Moser website in the FAQ section:

Quote:

Can I use c-clip eliminators for street use?

Answer - We do NOT recommend using C-Clip Eliminators for street use; a C-Clip Eliminator is made for drag race only ( As a safety issue so you do not loose an axle, if it breaks ).C-Clip Eliminators are made for the straight shot down the strip. If you use C-Clip Eliminators on the street the aluminum block will eventually flex from cornering or just going around curves causing the C-Clip Eliminator to leak Rearend fluid.

Now that the body work is complete Kenny applied the Line-X protective coating to the underside of the car because I plan to keep and
drive this car.

STRANGE C-CLIP ELIMINATOR FOR STREET APPLICATION

http://www.competitionplus.com/drag-...t-application-

http://www.competitionplus.com/image...kitframed3.jpg

Strange Engineering, Morton Grove Illinois, introduces a new style, specifically designed for street and/or strip, c-clip eliminator for most 10 & 12-bolt GM car rear ends equipped with c-clip style axles. In the past, c-clip eliminators for these applications have been designed for drag racing, which use ball bearings. Ball bearing c-clip kits are fine for drag racing, but are prone to leaking and premature failure when used for prolonged street use. Our specially designed c-clip eliminator kit (A1033) utilizes Timken unit (tapered) bearings, which survive severe side loads and constant use.

The Strange A1033 also features two seals per axle shaft, ensuring a completely sealed axle end. Complete axle and c-clip eliminator packages are also available.

none of this bothers me , he never drives anything !
