Middle Earth?:rofl:

When things just refuse to work it's more like the bottom of Satan's outhouse pit.

Oh BTW just for you Chris. Remember how we were talking about how you can break a shock without proper overextension support? I snapped my Konis messing around with the axle while on the FDstands, before I got the straps in. Modified a brand new set of Tokicos, I happened to have on the shelf, for my old 1968 AMC AMX. Fit like a glove. I can now add AMC to my list of off brand parts on the car. :biggthumpup:

Gunny's been around since before middle earth. So someplace other than that!

Dang. . . . FDstands. . . . I WILL CUT YOU :lol:

how did they snap? over extended too fast?

The suspension was hanging from the shocks (figured I'd be OK since it was on the stands). I started messing with the driveline angle by jacking the front snout on the axle. With the shocks at full extension they didn't have any give and snapped the shaft on one, bent the shaft on the other. Not one of my smarter moments. :icon_no2:

Better you did it now than at high speed in a corner.

True. But I already knew I needed limiting straps before I drove it any more that way. I thought I could get away with it while on stands, but I was wrong.

Didn't you already get some straps for the suspension? or are these something else entirely?

No I have limiting straps now. I snapped the shocks while I was waiting for them to make my straps. Just a cautionary tale for those that plan to do major work to their rear suspension, make sure that your shocks are NOT the limiters under extension (or compression either).

you know what other rotary had limiting straps? the 110s cosmo.

Didn't know that. Love those cars.

Awesome man good work!

Thanks mystery. It has kept me, umm... amused?, trying things.

needs a bigger turbo

What turbo? It's NA you lout. :) I have plans eventually, we'll have to see what's viable when I get to that point.
