Last year we just did 2 Tarmac events this year there will be minimum 3 possibly 4 and I’ll run it at the Geelong Revival Hillclimb so I’ve invested in some much stiffer springs as last year I just ran the soft autocross setup and it was compromised.. (still fast but wallowed around like the Titanic)

I expect some of that when I eventually come past.

I’d be disappointed if you didn’t come say hi!

Transmission?  looked like you were having trouble getting it moving after the run.

Hey IJ, I am looking at getting myself a scissor lift table like you have there.  Do you know what weight yours is rated too, 350kg??  And yea just re watched the vids, does look like you were having trouble with the trans?

[Anonymous View build HERE Member since: January 1, 1970 Posts: 0]

Yeah smashed something to death in the Loop, my own fault I wasn’t there to run the Motorkhana as I suspected something like this might happen.. the 1/4 mile timer was playing up and I sat in a line for 45 minutes so decided to have a crack.. it now has 1st and reverse, I’ll know what’s broken in about an hours time.

That one is 500Kg Gary, I have a 350 but it struggles with the entire powertrain as I remove it so boght this one.

Thanks Ian, I guess yours is a bit heavier than mine would be though being AWD?  Or do you think its worth paying the extra and going 500kg?  Bummer about the box, I reckon I put a jinx on you chatting about it before!!

Yours is Cast Iron so not sure, I’d go for the big one from memory there’s little to no different in price..

——————–

Autopsy complete..this is a new one in the long list of 4L60E failures I’ve experienced..

It’s torn the Splines out of the Case… I have a spare Case there Donated by a mate so it’ll be a fairly “cheap” rebuild as the rest of the internals are Mint.

Shit, that’s a hell of a failure.

[Anonymous View build HERE Member since: January 1, 1970 Posts: 0]

The Track was really grippy the new transfer case was working and the engine was making ALL the horsepowers for a change so I’m guessing the semi slicks were a bad idea in hindsight…

Ouch but impressive.

LOL yeah I think so, HUGE amount of force required to do that just through power as there wasn’t a lot of abuse happening!

Traction is a bitch sometimes.
