I forgot to mention my realization during my gear swap.
My rear end is in no way up to snuff for a 4700 rpm transbrake radial launch. I really expect this thing to 60' well and unfortunately I found my weak link.
28 spline (supposed) moser axles, c clips and a mini spool in the stock carrier.
I have little faith.
Going to price out some 31s, a full spool and 9" ends but it's not the smallest of undertakings and I currently lack the energy and will power. Plus I'm positive my girlfriend will kill me so I'll have to sneak it little by little.
We're house shopping pretty heavily these days, so I waved the white flag on car building for a little bit. Realistically we're 6-12 months from making any moves so I'm sure I can smuggle in some parts
I don't know why the hell the guy paid for hardened axles and then left c clips and stock spline count.
I don't remember the ET where c clips aren't allowed but I think it's in the 12-13second range.
I haven't priced it all yet, so I'd imagine you're right Mike.
So much for your "I'm sure I can smuggle in some parts"statement,..............How do you "smuggle" a non-running car past your GF?......she blind?On a side note. I may have just purchased a second SN95 roller car.
Why? I'm not sure. I think because it's shiney and I have a child's attention span
Haha she showed her displeasure quickly and the guy ended up being 2 hours further away than the ad showed. No bueno. Car was $2,000 and had a $1,500 set of wheels/tires on it so I figured why notSo much for your "I'm sure I can smuggle in some parts"statement,..............How do you "smuggle" a non-running car past your GF?......she blind?
Here, this will help you make more noise.Haha she showed her displeasure quickly and the guy ended up being 2 hours further away than the ad showed. No bueno. Car was $2,000 and had a $1,500 set of wheels/tires on it so I figured why not
Just because I've been locked down doesn't mean I can't rattle the cage!
Your ad is EXACTLY why I hate selling stuff.
Them: "Dude where do you come up with this number?"
Me: "Have you ever actually tried to build a car?"
Them: "yes" or "no"
Me: Well then you're an idiot for just expecting me to give stuff away at pennies on the dollar. I'm not coming down to $3,500 on a $7,000 tag with $10,000 invested.
....No reply.
Rinse, repeat.
I blame people who give their sh1t away for a quick sale causing people to think that everything should be given away regardless of the circumstance.
Haha I typed about 20 responses before I decided to behave. I'd love to have as little money in the car as that guy seems to think.Your ad is EXACTLY why I hate selling stuff.

You have a disease.So in a twist of events I'm not selling the car. I am, however, tearing it completely apart again.
Going to swap my swap into a new chassis and start this excitement all over again
Going to pick it up Monday morning
My name is Tanner and I have a problem.You have a disease.
As long as there's an LS in there you can expect the usual.My name is Tanner and I have a problem.
I've justified it by the money I'll get back from the sn95 but that's truly going to amount to nothing so it is what it is.
Hey at least it's not the "ugly" body style anymore maybe I'll finally get some love
I'll survive I suppose. Pretty excited about it either wayAs long as there's an LS in there you can expect the usual.
Yeah I debated starting another progress thread because I really enjoy the feedback and just getting to show folks what you're up to. But opinions like that are why I probably wont.Just look back at your replies, If it weren't for me and your pal Ol Blue,...the only "non-tech" comments made would be made by the power of the minds of the offended silent lurkers.
:trip:
AS you now have a Fox body that you can uhhh..........."modify", I expect you'll offend an even higher percentage of them now.
Maybe that'll get them motivated to speak
Can't say honestly that I won't be one of them,.....it's one thing to modify a car that really isn't popular.
(like a Fairmont, or a early SN95).........
It's another thing when you do it to such a nice notch.
I'd say that around here, that puts you just about one step above child molester.
