Talking $2200 in mods (pics)

It's a pain in the *** to get some of these parts, which took about 4 months. My car has been sitting at KD Rotary for a few months and it's finally coming home soon.

4.33 Ring and Pinion


LSD


Chromoly Axles

that only works if you plan on driving the car right afterwards. it'll still skip around turns for if it has been sitting for a while until it is fully lubricated/fluid circulating again.

The strip will be my next home.

I have no idea how many hp my car will have. I still need some tuning and to get my car out of Dave's shop.

Vosko was right, you have to do figure 8's in the parking lot. Also, in Kaaz's website it shows you how to break in the LSD.

streetdreamzny...make sure to get the Kaaz Powertrain Gear Oil. It really does makes a difference.

Also, thanks for compliments.

Anthony...I can't wait to race you. I'm pretty sure I will lose. However, I want to know how well my car does against a single turbo.

Also, your M3 is really nice.

Anthony, I already registered for this semester. However, I don't know if I have off on Fridays. Also, we can just race on the parkway, because we can easily take it to 150+ mph. You know I love to take it over 150 mph.


I took the chromoly axle to my gym and they have the same type of scale like you see at the doctors office. The chromoly axle weight is 5 pounds. I have no idea how much the stock axle weigh. I will find out when I pick up my car.

Thumbs up

Wow, that is a lot of money that you spent on all those mods. How much did you pay for the chromoly axles?

I purchase the Chromoly Axles from Ari at www.rx7.com He is an awesome guy and I will definitely purchase other products from them again. I paid a little over $800 for the axles. Also, each axle is 5 pounds. Ari carries two different types of axles, I ended up getting the newer axles. It cost a little bit more, however, it's much better. Also, he has these in stock.

I just wanted to also vouch for Ari and Rocky, down there. I've posted it before, but they are pretty good.
