It was a difficult track to get correct, I only could do it on my last run by going slow and smooth. Thanks Avery, Jenn might have beat me too.. whew!

Jon, put on your new tires, and you can get snu snu too so shaddup!

Well here's the damage.







Lighter but doesn't roll to good and it's really, really stinky too. LOL.

Let me know if you need help Avery.


I ended up in the Emergency Room after the race though. I was coughing so hard in my helmet. I thought I ruptured my lower right lung when I got home. I'm on antibiotics and narcotics right now.

Course was difficult for me. 1st gear 35mph, rear inside tire just lights up. Upshift, No torque. I wasn't mindset on shifting during cornering... My fastest run (was actually with fuel shutting off) I coned it away somewhere... In hindsight, I know where to gain 1/2 second.

Holy Crap! WTF is that? Looks like the pinion got forced in towards the ring gear. Nuts, I have never seen a 100Hp motor blow up a third member like that before. 4X4 guys blow up their diffs with a lot of tourque because of gear reductions like that, but damn!

Anywayz, give me a call when you need help.

The course was pretty fun. Nice driving everyone. If you need help Avery, I'll be more than glad to help, I don't know much but wouldn't mind bustin' some knuckles! -Maybe learn somethings on the way too! Sorry to hear that Rodney, hope your healing good n feeling better.

the parts car is at my place awaiting you and others to start the drivetrain remoal proceedure.

[corytomo]

Dropped it off last night, it almost didn't make it..
Feel free to drop the rear end completely and leave it on jackstands.
Sorry, I won't be here for the next few weeks with my trip on Friday, Toyamas wedding stuff, and the holidays.

Rod, hope you feel better! What happened??

Very good! I already dropped the diff and cleaned all the diff oil splatter. I'm ready for the install.

Thanks Cory! I'll be over at Jon's as soon as possible. Probably this weekend.

I might want to transfer the diff, halfshalfs and rear hub carriers all once. Seems easier than trying to remove the rear axle nuts with their 200ft/pds torque and then trying to pull the axle from the hub.

Dibs on the PPF too, mine got "machined" a little when the driveshaft parted ways with the pinion gear.

Thanks a bunch and have a fun, safe trip, Avery
