Diary of a Madman; TitaniumTT's see you @ DGRRXI RE-REbuild - Page 38

jtbshaw · 09-30-2010, 01:58 PM

Good work, as always, B. If I'm not mistaken, you will have to raise the pinion to accomadate the shorter shaft. Of course, just as you mentioned, this is coming from years of building rock crawlers and 4x4s.

And, before you say it...I'll get a build thread up soon with my chit. Just been travelling a good bit with work yo.

Thanks brother! I really appreciate it. How far did you get?

I do have those... but I actually appreciate how my build threads turn into blogs.... I kinda like it.

I would really rec learning how to weld. I'm not sure classes are really needed though. I never took them. I was given a few quick lessons with a MIG welder when I was working as a mechanic. When I left that job and had some shit to weld up, I went to Sears and bought a welder. I literally burned that one up and finally bought a MillerMatic 175.

When I started the planning for this build I new that I wanted to do alot out of AL so I went out and bought the TIG welder. Plugged it in and went hog wild. I needed some help with that, no one I knew knows how to TIG so I bought a few books, did some research, spoke to a marine fabricator that we do some business with and stopped by his shop a few times and always re-directed the conversations... after that it was just practive practice practice.

Do it man, you won't regret it.

It's all sorts of wierd angles man. The tranny is longer, so the shaft is shorter..... it's bass ackwards from lifting a rig... or so I think. I dunno, I still need to get the digital angle finder out and get the data to send off to the driveshaft manifacturer.

I'm so jealous I want to steal your keys, while pouring a gallon of halal hot sauce down your back.

Nice work there Bri your attention to detail is border line OCD

Remember when we had that whole discussion about fuel pumps and noise? My friend with a full bridge 13b-re FC just primed his FULLY parallel twin Bosch 044 fuel system.

haahahha... you should be jealous, there was an S5 TII at this weekends auto-x. He was traveling most of the course in 1st bouncing the thing off the rev limiter while I pulled out of the gate and was in 2nd before the first turn and stayed there the entire time

It was epic... the ratios are fucking awesome!

No, he's keeping it but he does believe the loping will be drowned out by the pumps

I was hoping to get this for Johnson showing all 6 gears but instead all we get is a bunch of wind noise.... but we do see how fast we get through the first 3 gears. Rev limiter is still set a little low, top of 2nd is 57, top of 3rd is 75 I think? Either way

Nismo · 10-13-2010, 05:40 AM

Your car appears to be slow... What gives

MaczPayne · 10-13-2010, 02:37 PM

Damn, really winds up fast with that trans! Must be an ass-tucker with the sequentials thrown into the mix!

WE3RX7 · 10-13-2010, 09:14 PM

Meh - I'm thinking you need a 7spd and another 30hp. Those videos aren't enough to get the feel for it, guess you'll need to store the car at my place for a few months and think about it....

It really is, the 4.3 rear helps alot as well. Even when I was running the stock trans the 4.3 helped a bunch, especially in 4th and 5th. I love the ratio's, they are perfect. Need to dial in the front suspension a little more. What are you running Johnson? And what are your auto-x alignments like? Hoping to make another event this weekend

I'm not running anything spectacular - 4.10 S4 TII rear, S5 TII trans. The auto-x's around here are typically 2nd gear courses and I've bounced of the red only a few times. I ran -2deg on the old car, and maybe -1 in the rear. I left the caster and toe alone at factory specs.

New car is getting a corner balance and alignment suited to road courses. I might change only a few things when I take it to an auto-x, but that's about it.

I'm not too concerned with fine adjustments yet, gotta work on my driving skills first, haha. I've come a long way since 5 years ago, that's for sure
