Drag Race Build my journey to a 9sec street car

Oh man... I really hope they find them. That f'n sucks.

yea it really does im hoping so they said it could take 2-3 business days but im anxious at this point.

 

[OH91awd]

rotor hats finally started moving again! now got to call wilwood and see where my last rotor is . also had an issue last week with my car not wanting to shift properly. would get stuck in 3rd then randomly down shift after the shift box had commanded a different gear. trying to diagnose that issue now. hoping to have it figured out before june 28th so we can go to ifo at dragway 42.

Wait, so they found them? That usually never happens when they lose something for me. Congrats on the good luck there. Hope to see some picks of the car on the track posted here after June 28th!

yea i was getting nervous about them . hopefully i can figure out this shifting issue so i can make it to the track. i guess with this covid stuff they are having issues at some of the distribution centers moving packages in a timely fashion. columbus ohio is one of them i guess.

Yeah, manpower is going to be an issue in the distribution arena for a while I'd imagine.

yea im just hoping it gets to mr dsouza quickly now. ready to get these brakes installed and this is the last piece to the puzzle for me.

 

[OH91awd]

just got word from warren that my rotor hats are with the machinist to get started on. had him do a little something extra for mine as well. stay tuned for those updates.

 

[OH91awd]

New trans filter. Picking up new fluid as well to get it all ready.

 

[OH91awd]

rotor hats are machined and on the way back to me. had some etching done to them to add a little personal touch to them for the car. have some pics that warren sent me. might post them up if theres enough interest

 

[OH91awd]

just got notified that my rotor hats have been deliverd! cant wait to get home from work now. probably assemble some rotors tonight.

 

[OH91awd]

Loosely bolted the rotor hats and rotors together

need to get some safety wire to assembly completely and then it’s time to install these things.

 

[AWD-Tony]

Soooo purty

 

[OH91awd]

be

Soooo purty

yond ready to get these things on the car. stupid me lost the spacers for my rear brackets so had to get another set ordered.

 

[AWD-Tony]

Lol. How do you misplace that? Or you just haven’t looked hard enough

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

You'll find those spacers about a week after the replacements come in, you know......
Love the thread! I can't see the rotor hats on my end and I wanted to see them. I'll try my phone!!!

yea im not sure what happened. theres been alot going on at the house and i cant for the life of me rember where i stuck them.

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

I had that same thing happen on Memorial day. I "obtained" 2 factory 1g knock sensors, and as soon as they came in the door......I LOST THEM. Took me 3 weeks and they finally showed there selves, by the burn trash pile.....

yea my luck with this car hasnt been too good the past few weeks. looks like i might be pulling a valve body to swap solenoids.

 

[OH91awd]

replacement washers came in. thinking as long as the weather is nice this weekend i might start pulling this thing apart and getting the trans filter changed and brakes swapped out.

It's not a hard thing just oily bolts. I wish I had set my line pressure just a tad higher when I had mine out. 1-1 1/2 turns instead of 2.

i talked to my trans guy and he wants me to do a little test before i swap them. basically gonna do a make shift kiggly mod with toggle switches to see if it still does it with the shift box unhooked then go from there.

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

Oh I agree. You really dont HAVE to have switches but yes thats a good, direct test.

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

I hope my trans is ok too. I'm waiting on the end clutch kit to make sure the rest of the trans held up to welding 4th up solid....

 

[OH91awd]

Started to safety wire the rotor hat bolts today before work. Not bad for my first time I guess

Gonna finish the rest of them up in the next couple days and hopefully get these on this weekend.
