IRS help? no not the government

[bob442]

I dont mean to come off cockey or argumentive. I'm just throwing what i've found out about the rear end out there, i guess i should have mentioned i plan on hitting atleast 500 Whp, so the Dana 36 won't hold up to that, *If i'm correct*

with the G's (and i'm not talking about my friends in the ghetto, but a unit of inertial force on a body that is subjected to rapid acceleration or gravity) that the rear may experiance, i want to auto cross this car, and have the option of going on a drift course with the opertune chance. I do realise that is acomplishable with both rear IRS's. As i would *imagine* drifting a car would be harder on the rear end with the camber set off, and high RPMS, and there for being harder on the u joints, hubs, and half shafts, where as the dual controll arms would only be hard on the hub. But then again, i dont surly know the answer to that.

This thread isnt about what i think, but what i dont know. You clearly know more about the C4 style rear end then i do, and i'm am taking your knowledge as an influence. Again i'm sorry if i came off in any different of a way to you or anyone else.

I still need to find out about the adaptor for a C5 rear end how ever.

Bob,

You've got nothing to apologize for. Maybe Deuce just had a bad day. He is always very knowledgeable and helpful. I'm sure he will be back around to assist you as well as some others. Don't get discouraged, this is a great site with alot of information. I don't know anything about your issue except to say I think there is a member here that is building and adapter to do what you want. I'm just not sure if it's for the same rear you want to use. Try to search out Rat Rod Russel. He may be able to help.

Check this thread out, I think he talks about it in here.

yeah that was a bad day.. sorry to sound like an ass#ole.... reading my reply i realize it was a post better left unposted... again om sorry

Ok om a better mood today, (=didnt kill any patients, and had no complaints...) there is a thread here and i cant fint it for the life of me.. but it shows a c5/6 rear suspension installed in a mid year corvette. but instead of using an adapter plate it simply used a viper diff instead, thar way you could mount the controll arms to your own cradle instead of having to dink arround with modifying the corvette stuff..

but since you are into the drifting scene.. how about widening your search of donor cars:

there are a myriad of drift specific parts acailable for supra suspension and this one looks like it snould be a breeze to fit? and re.drilling the spindles for chevy boltpattern (or the fronts for yota so you could run drift style rims) isnt a biggie

Glad to hear you had a better day Jacob, Judging by not killing any patients you a doctor or a mofia collector? lol

This is what i was originally thinking Jacob, but i couldnt find any information or pictures for any sort of reference to dream up an idea.

I knew they were strong, and had some sort of after market for drifting but again didnt find anything when i stripped apart Google, if i did find something is was on a japanese web page, in japanese writing, and i figured it would cost big bucks to no only get it over here, but to get a translator lol

nothing is set in stone yet, but ive sourced a few c5 rear ends for under $1200 complete hub to hub, and building the center section/sub frame wouldnt be a choire, i figured if i ended up building it from scratch i could use the 2 front mounting points that were originally for the solid rear end.

i was looking at a few pictures too of the room under the trunk/diff area and as long as i go with a fuel cell, i should have plenty of room under there for any contraption i go with

I'm going to see what i can find for a viper now, more ideas! thanks!
