Same knuckle setup running 3+ years strong. Ive crashed into the banks of irwindale, dirt dropped, flat towed thousands of miles, and my welds still hold. With lower offset setup in the front, Ive allowed more clearance. 17x9 -50offset 235/40/17 Federal RSR front.. Yes Ive gone backwards before with 18x9.5 -35 offset in front with Daijiro Inada at El Toro in 09 lol with this much more angle, going backwards will be cake haha

It's a tex racing t101a 4speed dogbox. Only the tach doesn't work. Loose connection out of my ecu that I forgot to fix before going to the track that day. The speedo obviously doesn't work because of trans, but all the other stock ones work.

ps- If anyone wants an adapter plate that allows the use of one of these standard nascar style 4-speed trans, that adpapts to a mazda bell housing, allowing the use of your mazda style flywheel, pressure plate, slave cylinder, starter, etc. Message me.

These transmissions you can find anywhere from $1000-2500 usually, but top loading shifter transmissions are usually like $3000-4000. I got mine for about $1k shipped. The adapter plate is another $500.

The gearing can be almost whatever you want it to be, and gear sets are cheap.

This is the available gear ratio chart:

i gave him space on the 2nd clip because i saw something in his driving that hinted he would spin and he did. for some reason all the competitors wanted to try and drag race and outrun me, and they couldnt... so i initiated on his door, and went thru the first clip on his door. he had too much speed and his setup to transition was hella sloppy so i backed off a bit. i did this cause i knew the setup justin gave me was more than capable and i could easily close on him no problem, as i did. i saw his wheels go to full lock, he was off the gas but the car was still rotating so i punched it. he was rotating around and i flew right past him before his car even made the rotation. it couldnt have been planned better if it was part of a movie script. outcome... Win...
