Team NAXJA/Petty Cash Racing stock class KOH XJ build

[cal]

I was going to try using some Orbitz gum, layed under some JB weld.

 

[xcm]

Ruh roh! At least it held thru the race, mud hides a lot!
This may be obvious, but I'd make sure to groove out a valley before rewelding! Maybe even add a gusset along the backside of the link tower..

I think we're going to cut both mounts off and do something more stout. That's the second time that mount has broken.

 

[rockclimber]

probably be a good time to cut the stock style forks off the arms and weld in barrels for bushings or JJs.

then you can run some tabs on the truss like normal people.

Yeah that's not going to happen. To start with, Full Traction sponsored us with their 4 link suspension, and I won't disrespect them by telling the world its no good and has to be modified. In fact, their setup works really well..

That, and I like having some rubber bushings.

The problem here is the .120 box tube we used for the uca mounts. They'll come off and some .250 wall stuff will go in.

fair enough... but it wouldn't change their design at all, it would just make it more universal for easier mounting.

thats why I said bushings OR JJs :rtm:

well crap.. I thought that was a piece of solid.. I didn't know it was that thin. .250 would be fine

What's more universal than stock?

 

[rockclimber]

What's more universal than stock?

:doh:

What's more universal than stock?

But it doesn't work on a stock Dodge Neon, now does it?

Hey Cal, what trans cooler is on the car? All of these trans problems have me thinking about keeping my own cool.

I'm pretty sure I answered this in person, but just in case, this is it:

Nice crack....that axle is getting heavier than a dana 60.... Speaking of which, weren't you going to change out the axle to some odd hybrid dealio

When and where?

Well, I guess we know where.. when?

 

[Jes]

You put that shiny new TB on yet?

 

[cal]

You put that shiny new TB on yet?

Not yet. After we finish racing for the season the motor comes out for a freshen up and some upgrades, it will go in then.

 

[XJensen]

Are you guys going to PC this Saturday?

 

[cal]

Not sure what PC is, but the answer is no just the same.
