Awesome job guys. Our XJ-R is settled down for the winter sadly. Did you ever do anything with the rear axle? I spoke to one of you over the phone about the 8.8 swap.

That was me you spoke to. Yes, we ended up swapping in an 8.8 we got essientally for free. The 3.73 gears an LSD made a HUGE difference, and I think we'll try to find some 4.10s laying around. We were turning 5150 RPM in thrid at the fastest section of the track, so 4.10s should be even better without being too aggressive. What I really need is more HP.
We ran Thunderhill in Nov. of '09, Sears Point (Infineon) earlier in 2010, this last race, and our plan is to be at Oregon Motorsports Park in June of 2011. I'd also like to race at Sears Point again next year, that was a really fun track. My goal is to do at least two races per season, it just comes down to money for entry fees and gas though. *Cough, sposorship, Cough*.
This was definitely a fun thing to do, and I definitely want to do it again. I'll have to see about joining Matt and the guys for the race in June in Portland, but I'm going to plan on racing next Dec in Buttonwillow again. Anyone have a line on a cheap 2wd XJ?
