new MC in.  id say 3x improvement in brakes.  i cant push hard enough on the petal.  i like it.  needs a booster next if more is wanted.

awesome.





DE ram is sweet.  its odly smooth and tight like something is wrong lol   4 wheel locked and pulling wheels with sticky tires on pavement and it feels tight and smooth. 


if we wreck saturday it will be hard and my fault.

 Karl knack informed me the reason that my KRTs seem to chunk down to cords is because all red label BFG tires are recaps.  you can see on all my tires where the mold meets the carcus.    after 8 full throttle assults on devils den prerunning, i have about a 10" section pealed off on one. 

both rear CO's showed no dampening and blown out after prerunning.  all shocks so hot you could not touch.  we changed the worse one with my spare friday night, along with swaping out the tire.


race day cost us the other side in the rear CO from slaming up travel.  and the tranny wont hold fluid, killed it self.  brown toast, she is done. 



brakes and steering were awesome.  rest of the car was shit from mile one.  needs a suspention upgrade and limit straps.  the trans needs to be pulled and the trans mount / Tcase mounts need to be allinged / repaired to help life of tail seals. 


fuck this car.

Don't know why I didn't think of this before but some fault may lie in the single ujoint configuration. That counts on absolutely perfect alignment for all seals and bearings to live long happy lives.

I only mention since both new cars are getting the same layout.

its the trans mount that is f'd up, which comes from failing motor mounts.  im sure everything is out of wack and the seals and inputs/outputs are beat to shit.

needs a full floor tear out while motor / trans is out
