ADDITIONAL PICS MUST BE LINKS TO AN ALBUM OR TO INDIVIDUAL PICS. Meets are exempt from this restriction.
I've been trying all week to get this thing in the garage and ready for the teardown. That's my LSD and modified output shaft ready to go. I still have to press a new bushing and seal into one of my spare tailshaft housings.
Had my hands full with this little s h i t:
Teardown starts tomorrow night assuming I'm sober, including going back to a stock WP pulley and ditching my 5% UD pulley. Assuming the LSD works as advertised, Intercooler II goes on soon after.......
Let the games begin.
Been awhile since I posted a pic of the cars, eh? They both still run great. Zilla cranked over first try after sitting for two months.

Oh jeez, and it begins. Like father like daughter, whether she likes it or not
Good job, Katie, get used to that impact wrench!

Two black marks? That wasn't a problem before. Zilla always lays twins in a straight line. This LSD is so I can do a PROPER burnout at the track. Last year was a big disappointment:

I use one hand on the impact and one free to catch the fastener with so the cone (tapered) end doesn't drop on concrete and damage it, which in turn could damage the wheel.
I let that slide this time, as it was only the second time Katie has used that particular tool.
i think she did fine, first time i used an air impact i had the bright idea that i could just put the lug in the socket and just gently squeeze the trigger to start the threads. WRONG!!! one cross-threaded lug later

thanx! I feel less like an idiot now! It was only after I got the tire in the trunk and dad stopped the video that he told me the tire weighed as much as me! I felt pretty good after that one! Hope you enjoyed that lil vid guys!!

Admin Daddy will kill you now. I KILL YOU!
DAD!!! STOP MESSING WITH MY SIG!!!!!! Who is messing with your sig?
*sigh* You are Uncle Don! No I'm not... Who gave you that bad info?
No hazArd pay necessary. The six point sockEt is rated far higher than the 100ft/lb torque of the lugs. 2.5 times higher. If it weren't, it would simply crack, and be no hazard whatsoever.
Hope you enjoyed that lil vid guys!!
