Awesome passes!!!

So your drivetrain is pretty much stock but your clutch? Stock axles, driveshafts, diffs and tranny?

I built the tranny myself with the heavy duty 3/4 coversion, welded center diff, double 2nd steel shift forks.

Front diff is stock, t-case is stock, drive shaft and axles and rear end are all stock.
 
i cant believe you are on stock rear axles with slicks pulling those 60's i break axles with street tires and 1.7 60's damn 3 bolts.


Beleive it or not slicks are ALOT easier on the drivetrain, reason being is the slicks have such a soft side wall that the tires will take majority of the impact rather then puting all the stress on the drivetrain. Also preloading the clutch using the e-brake helps alot to. It tightens up the drivetrain rather then just an instant shock to everything.

Street tires wheel hop and have no side wall flex, there for puts all the shock and load on the drivetrain. People break less parts on slicks.

I'm sure with the new setup this season I will have my fair share of broken crap. It's bound to happen sooner or later. So that is why I am stocking up on spare drivetrain parts as we speak LOL.
 
LOL. i bet you are , i was more or less talking about the welded center diff as well, i just started breaking axles when i welded the diff, how often do you drive your car on the street?
 
Nice video! Also nice ending with the disqualification sheet :)
What's the name of the disturbed song playing in the background? It's cool.
