I would, I have a golf outing Saturday & still haven't fixed the studs on my right axle.
I'm avoiding doing it, any local guys know where I should take it? I'm going to put ARPs in it, never had a problem with them on my stock axles...

im in the process of pulling it off again. the last opti was the rotor. thing was just slagged. so im going to see if this one is the same way. if it is there is something wrong in the ignition system (MSD box, or coil, hell maybe even a plug wire)

I just put mine up in the air and setup the rear suspension. making sure the rear was centered side to side and front to back/both the same on each side. Looks good and ready to go. Im thinking that I am going to try my luck tonight and head up to CFR for the midnight mania deal. The rain looks to have broken up so far and looks to maybe stay that way tonight. I will be in trouble if I have to drive the car home in the rain. Will make for a LONG LONG LONG drive home on these bald *** DR's.

That is all

yeah Dave, i got the spanner wrenches. I had them on 5 for street driving, but that didnt help plant the rear tires at all. Infact I think it made it worse. But, wont be testing it out for a minute. I did 2 dig runs last night when testing them out and then I had a knock under load. So I have to try and figure out what the hell that is. I just ripped into the valvetrain and it all was fine. No broken springs or needle bearings missing out of the rockers. Next step is to jack it up and check and make sure the tq converter bolts didnt loosen up, or the flexplate crack or something similar. If that all fails then the motor is coming out. Nothings gone right with this car latelly.
