Aarons first track day. FML

Post by speeding-g60 »

so, this triple disc clutch is quite grippy. and i was trying out the no-lift-shift stuff, not to good end either.

first pass, got a little bite and it bucked and hopped. there was some damage done i did not realize at that time. we discovered it after 3 passes.

but the first launch broke the outer driver rear cv, the inner passenger rear cv, and messed up the diff most likely. but we made three passes on it anyhow until we figured that out.

it ran 11.09 @ 147 in FWD on pass # 3, dragging the broken ass end with it. you can hear the sounds it makes in the video, but not in the car.

this first run had 4 wheels driving on the burnout, got squirrely fast. the next 3 burnouts were mellow in comparison, no wonder as the rears werent spinning.

run one blew the AWIC coupler, bent the shift rod, broke stuff.

run 2, it sorta died mid track, bent the shift rod again, and it ended up blown boost reference line off the ECU. and didnt know it was only a FWD car with damaged ass end.

third pass, i decided to just do the normal and lift-to-shift. still unknown to us, FWD. and it ran 11.09 @ 147!!!!! was moving out!

and today i popped in a spare (1 of 5) rear diffs in, and redid the rear axles. cant thank Janis enough for having the forethought to send me his axles prior to deportation. i needed them today!!! i had to put the driver one in and out three times, as he had ABS and i do not, and i had to grind all the ABS crap off but whatever.

Well, that stinks, but at least you've got some easy fixes there. What can you do to make the launches easier on the axles?

not sure, but this triple disc is holding. i am looking at doing a solid rear axle now. 79-93 Mustang 8.8", has the correct gear ratio available, etc. why not.

and i forgot to mention, i still won the money for the fastest water cooled :) 4 more Silver Ladys to add to my collection.
