FINALLY!!! LO5/700R4 Vs. LO3/T-5.... the LO5 won... thank ***... nice job tho bruce... my car sucks... u'll get her one day.. i know u will

 

Fill me in. What happened?

 

yeah man... you can't just post this and not give us some details

 

i tested bruce's tranny out... lol... his first official race was lost to me... a block from my house... i killed him off the line and he never caught up... no replacement for displacement...

 

HA! How did I know this thread was gonna pop up on the boards?! Yeah, he got me, not by much, but there wasn't a point in time where I was gaining. He even got the holeshot on me. Once I get a clean air filter and a decent tune I have a fealing the outcome might be a tad different, though

It was fun non-the-less. You're gonna have to crash at my place/vise-versa so we can wake up and tango when our cars have had a chance to get nice and cool. That should throw an interesting wrench in the gears.

Bruce (90RS305)

 

we can go down to the road by PIR if you crash here... no one is ever down there... haha, and by that time, i might have that pretty rear end thats under UmmaGumma's car currently..

 

Nope, you gotta promise keep your current setup till we re-match, I'm not changing anything

 

eh, i guess i will... fair is fair.. ill still smoke u..

 

Hehehe.. but he sure is!!!

final talley... 16 hours... and i didnt even get it done... man, we suck... did i forget to mention the brake lines on the rearends of our cars dont have a size that doesnt round the edges off... it took us more than 4 hours to get the brake lines off both rearends off...

 

dude,i told you you can take it off where it connects to the ebrake cable above the driveshaft...woulda been much much easier. if u guys are still screwin w/ it today ill come help aftewr i get off work.

 

Yeah I know, it's cuz he's skeerd!

 

holy crap, 16 hours to swap rearends?? I think the longest I've ever done a rearend swap was like 7 hours, and that was with many many beer breaks.

 

lol, we were noobs... we got it all done bastian, just need to bleed the brakes and hook up the e-brake to the drums again... i already had them out of the drums on the posi rear so i have to put them back in on my car.. no big, 10-15 minutes tops.. but hey if u still wanna come over after work, come on over, (951)834-5812

Bruce - skeered... lolmfao... opportunity knocked and i answered, chris needed a POS rolling axle and i needed a better one.. haha its really nice though, u should get one... but now both of our speedo's are off...

anyone know what gears i need off the top of their head for 3.23 rear in a 700R4?

 

Is the gear still left in Chris's car? That one should work right?

 

call my cell around 5:30. if i dont answer,ill call back"kinda hard to answer on a bike"...where u guys gonna be at? cause its over in bangcock again,i wont be goin,but if its near my house ill swing by.

 

*EDIT* nvrmind...

 

Yes... it's still there and would work fine. But I need to keep the tranny intact and I'm sure he doesn't want to buy ANOTHER 700R4 when that's what he already has.

Besides.. the trans & engine are going as a package to a guy putting the combo into a Jeep.

 

Ohh ok, I don't know how those gears works so I figured I'd throw that one out there....

 

depends on what gear is in the tranny

did you bother to look?

washing that car would save you .3 at the track

 

hey i noticed you didnt take those struts and shocks off yet Chris.. oh yeah i am supposed to help.. i need free time.

Shawn

i am routing for the underdog go 305!!

 

LOL, mine has the 2.73 speedo gears in it, i need to get the ones for 3.23 now... gotta love that rain too man... its rediculous

 

he just took the shocks out when i pulled his rear, the struts are still in though... nice monroe shocks too

 

Yup... pulled the shocks for you Shawn when the rear came out.

 

cool struts arent to hard i dont think.. we'll see though!

 

There's 2 gears in the tranny that need to match your gear ratio. The one on the VSS and the one in the tranny. You can get it close with just changing the one but not very accurate (read as not driving with speedo at 54 MPH in 45 MPH zone)

Even with your current gears your speedo will read 18% faster than you're really going. For example... if your speedo says 50 MPH you're really going 41 or 82 at 100 . This will do funky things with torque converter lock up.

The bottom line is find out what color gears are in your tranny now and we can go from there.

 

alrighty... one day when i get brave ill get under there and rip em out... or maybe someone who knows how to do it can help me... hint hint...

 

how about i buy beer we put my rear end in and i'll show you where the gears are and how easy it is to pull.. we'll even do it in avondale since that is where you are at.. Sebastian should come out too.. free beer to help with rear end.. thing is i need a place to do it.. My rear end that i traded Sebastian for is just sitting at my friends house still..

Shawn

 

my garage is always open.... i got a compressor,all my tools are at work though,lol.

 

Did I hear free beer? I'm game!

 

when do you wanna do this... ive got monday/tuesday nights off... im quite proficient at getting these damn things out now that ive done it a few times... pretty sad considering there were only two rearends involved...

 

all my nights are open. but i am off all day monday and tuesday only thing is on my days off i have my daughter..

yes free beer i actually have alot i want to put on my car.. ( new front nose) struts and shocks as well as swapping out my rear end. I am only looking to do the rear end right now unless more want to help..

Shawn

 

well, call me up if you want on monday or tuesday (951)834-5812... ill be home from school around 1pm...

 

So David.. you get the brakes all hooked up yet? How's it running? Notice the difference?

 

oh yeah, got the brakes hooked up, e-brake fixed, she GETS UP!! before i felt the car pull, now, i feel the seat being pushed aside as my a$$ gets planted firmly into it when it shifts gears... I <3 it... thanks a crapload man

 

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet

 

now i get two tires to replace instaed of just one.. lol oh well, im gunna get some harder tires

 

damn damn damn damn damn.... satisfaction is not mine... i just got mangled by a 305... it was sebastian's Z28 with a modified TPI... but still... oh well... u win some, you lose some... ill still beat bruce

 

hehe,yeah buddy. 305 in the hizzy...lol
my cars runnin like **** 2, i havent driven it in forever.

 

If you smoked him that bad with your 305.. just imagine what you'd do with my 350..

 

I guess a good comback is right now your 1-3 or somewhere in that department *edit* not to mention one of those was with a busted tranny *edit*

I've beaten 350s...I'll be back

 

lol, its on... my slow camaro rs rocks!! lol
