2.72 gears. 3.4 R&P. 0.756 o.d. (I think. Could be 0.837)

Not fully settled on tire size and don’t yet know how happy a vw 2.0 is screaming. Calcs are one thing, going deaf or fearing rod exit is another. Motor redlines at 6300.

Hoping for a comfortable 55.  On 33s (if I did my math right just now) that’s 4000 rpm.

Ready for a scrap run. Probably won’t do tomorrow in the rain.

Everything I own is way expired. Probably flat tow this to scrap, drop for inspection, then get reg renewed, and once that’s set, cycle through everything else for inspections. Probably plate the TDI while I’m at it. Why not spend it like I’ve got it. Maybe do glass in the 1.8t and make it a step closer to perfect too.

I hate inspections.




My d30 is disk and full time. I plan to start with the simpler awd setup and go from there if I’m not happy with it. Stock with atv drive tires and an open diff this thing was a surprising snow monster.

Extra ready.

Anyone every try to buy scrap from metalico? I don’t know if that’s a thing they do. Would love to buy a hundredish pounds of lead for the brolite rear bumper for scrap price easily. Watched way too much about lead smelting on YouTube this weekend and it seems an easy thing to try. Metal funnel and dump some molten mess in a couple drilled holes.

Hundred pounds per gallon.

way less effort and more practical to just use steel at 2/3s the density of Lead... especially if your only talking 100lbs.  shit thats like two 1 ton rotors......

Papered.

Still smokes like a tire fire. Didn’t fix itself while off the road.

It would have to be gear oil. 20w50 didn’t help.

The only bottle that fixes problems is alcohol

And that usually causes more.

I would have been beyond shocked if it made any difference whatsoever.

It’s a motor I have no love for so I’m happy to test potions in it.

Stuff just looked like Lucas.
