ugh …the attempts at 11 second runs wont be coming as soon as we hoped
the opal frost got pillaged for parts
the parts were received from FPS
the tranny guy assembeled everything
we worked from 8pm thursday till TEN OCLOCK FRIDAY MORNING geting everything assembeled (in an atempt to make it to dunville autodrome @ 4pm)
and as we put the passanger side axle into place we realized theres over a 1/4 inch of slack in all directions betwen the CV shaft and the differential
Called the guy that rebuilt the tranny (localguy) was told its probably fine but if we dont like it we shouldnt run the car
called FPS, talked to doug, explained problem … he determines that theres a thrust bearing missing and the differential is toast …and i also think the bearing surface for the cv shaft (in the tranny) is missing, because on the rebuilt tranny that surface is definantly machined aluminium looking … no gold bearing suface to be seen …
so now literaly everything has to come back apart, as the offending parts are behind Verything in the case
i think this time we will just do it ourselves
