Paint should be done by this weekend. I got all the wiring finished in the car including a relocated battery box in the back. Runs alot better the idle sounds healthy now. After that its just putting back everything and drive it around.

Shock loading wise I'm not to sure about what the stock axles can take but there is a guy with a S14 whose's running a trans brake, doing 1.37 60' times and 9.22's in the 1/4 mile and he's running the stock rear end (welded spider gears) and stock axles. Now, how long he's able to do that I don't know but it lead me to believe that those axles are stronger than people lead them on to be. Some people talk about them like they will break like a pretzel. Now, launching hard with a 6 speed and shock loading it with a cluth drop, that will probably be a totally different story.

I'm planning on running the stock axles for a while with welded spider gears since I'll be on a stock motor and if they break or start becoming questionable I'll look into upgrading the axles.

Thanks, Most of the pics were taken with a Nikon D50 with a 50mm 1.8F the other ones were taken with a rebel XT with just the kit 18-55 lens. I like to swich up using them sometimes.

Once i get all of the body put back on ill get pictures of the whole car up (just dont mind the wheels)

Did you ever get a chance to post up that info? I'm curious what master cylinder you went with?

Thanks!

I don't have a good 3rd 4th or 5th I did get it in on the video (2nd and 3rd pull) And the tires were pretty much just spinning 75% throttle.
