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

[2gslse]

Good to see brian fixed your PPF and you used poly mounts did you look at your diff mounts also or replace them? I broke my PPF within the first 4000 miles after reconstruction I had poly mounts on the engine and bad diff mounts I used a set of jimlabs bushings in mine (I still have the rest just never put them in )

no i havent yet, its on my to do list, but time and money are kind of a restrictor at the moment, im not to to worried about it yet, since as of right now the weakest point is my tires, so she'll break lose before she snaps something

if i find a set/make one ill throw it in when i can, doesnt look all that hard to change....definetly a hell of alot easier then changing the diff mounts on a fucking FC.......ive had the front diff mount on my FC broken for a good year now...the new one is still sitting in my room

nothing like getting a big bang everytime you change gears

LB White 80,000 btu thermo controlled. It's usually outside pumping heat into the annex but it was so damn cold lately I moved the boat out, and closed the bay door and got the garage up to an easy 60. The boat's outside, Landi is back in and we had the annex and the shop up to about 65-70* tonight.... so awesome.

Been there, done that..... doing anything regarding the subframe on an FC blows.

Yeah tell me about it. I've bought $450 worth of tools ...mmmmmmm... tools... $200 and something for an alarm, $80 fuel pump mount, I think about $400 from MoTeC for connectors and $250 for some pretty sexy billet mounts for my ECU and TCMux.... I don't know why, no one will ever see them.... maybe I'll cut out my carpet and make the cover out of plexi so I can show them off

Hmmmmm.... I'm gonna have to do some reengineering when the time comes. I know I'll be rocking a solid torque brace on the engine, Building my own diff mount out of AL (and jigging it) and I'll probably build a tranny brace as well.... not using the FD tranny though
