as always, nice car james! realy has come a long long way eh?

 

definitely! been a long way since i first bought it :P

 

Lucky i had to wait like a week and a half cuz they were out of stock

 

UPS brought me a present today...

 

looks cute ^-^

 

*jealous*

 

ups brought me some new axles today

 

you from Toronto?

 

Lol coner, ordered mine yesterday, got them today

 

almost toronto..oshawa.

 

Oh rly?! well mine are installed already lol

 

Nice, give me the rundown. Beefy? Return line fit? Ect? Mine going in tomorrow morning

 

They aren't much bigger than the stock ones but definitely feel a lot more sturdy.. there's plenty of room for the return line and my wastegate dump tube isn't as close as it was before either. It took me less than 2 hours to do it myself. The car feels more smooth on take off than it did before, probably because water had gotten in the boot where the clamp was gone lol. They also come with new axle nuts.

 

do u have to flush the trans fluid when u do axles?

I am looking into getting these axles as well

 

You don't have to. just catch the little bit that drips out in a clean drain pan and pour it back in. You could drain it into a clean pan before if you wanted as well I suppose and just fill it back up when you're done or get new fluid while you're at it.

 

what size are those wheels?

 

Good to hear! Mine will go in tomorrow! Also should have some new #s tomorrow

 

are those powedercoated? i wanna do mine like that. same color. if u used a spray can. what brand?

 

hopefully 400 + for you brags!

 

Kind and specs also. They look similar to these IMO. ADR GT-Sport wheels

 

off to get boosted.. **** yes!

 

u guys order the zzp stage 1 axles?

also, ive been progressively thinking about starting to save for a build and forgot the numbers the gen2 block can handle. is it 350 400 or 450? i dont remember

 

Yes Zzp stage one axles. not sure what the gen ii block is capable of but i think the crank is good to 450

 

I know the sleeves are supposed to be good till 450 on the genII i think.

I figure out my handling issues. So when you switch to FE5 front struts you NEED FE5 endlinks. FE1 endlinks are 11.80" center to center. FE5 endlinks are 9.86" center to center. The swaybar itself is the same minus the Diameter. So basically i may as well not even have my endlinks on cause they arent doing anything. Going to pick the FE5 ones up in a little bit and hopefully thats most of my issue.

 

So just got back from picking up the car. ZZp stage 1 axels in, Tune swaped over to hpt, boost up to 15psi for now. Didn't get on the dyno, but its flowing just a smidge under 39lbs/min over the MAF!!!!!!! I'd say that pretty damn close to 400whp Discussed the near future with Dave, after tires/wheels/bearings/brakes installed, time for 20+ psi race gas tune.
