Josh@RideTech Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 I was this |---| close to getting one on eBay for a song, then I was outbid by a lot in the end. Check out Hobby Lobby. I got this one there a month or so ago for $15 Love the caution sign! Haha, it fits me well. Occasionally, I get to that point where I need to go inside and quit working on the car... but I stay outside... and get mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh@RideTech Posted September 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Yesterday, I about threw some tools.... I didn't crack a beverage... I went inside. The bolt that holds the rear caliper bracket on stripped the threads out, so I'm pulling the passenger side axle back out and re-tapping it or getting a new one. but.... it's a new day.

95riosnake Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 That really sucks man! That's the great thing about a car not being something you need to drive...shit goes wrong... just walk away and come back fresh another time.

That's the great thing about a car not being something you need to drive...shit goes wrong... just walk away and come back fresh another time. It does... I'm just frustrated as it seems like I've had to do everything on this car twice when I've really been trying to follow everything by the book. I agree, I don't necessarily need the car so that makes it better... I just want to drive it. Bad. I'm going nuts right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTwilight Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Sometimes to do things right you need to do them a few times to get perfect. When setting up the new rear and gears I don't know how many times we pulled the diff and pinion to get the proper shims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have to pull the axle out, it's easy but time consuming when I should be doing something else! Car is looking and sounding great Josh! Thanks, Tom!

ttocs Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 I have never heard of any problems fitting their stuff. I was a little afraid the VIS carbon hood I got would be off a bit but thankfully it was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh@RideTech Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Does nascar and Nhra need "break in time"?!? I think not!!!!!!!!!!!$-)This message courtesy of crapatalk!

RedTwilight Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Does nascar and Nhra need "break in time"?!? I think not!!!!!!!!!!!$-)This message courtesy of crapatalk! Actually I'm pretty sure NASCAR teams dyno there engines before going into the cars. So they probably do a short break-in there. Not to mention they practice before each race. NHRA - Well Pro-stock on down probably also have dyno time and a little break-in period. Top Fuel rebuilds after every run. They only really just set in the clutches and rings before the runs.

Josh@RideTech Posted October 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 so what's going on with the hood did i miss this? I lost the damn safety latch/latch (when I moved) and broke the hood latch cable... Just waiting on parts and still needing to drill holes in the hood for the hood pins!
