ok, got the measurements needed, ended up having to shim the trans 3/8 up at the tailshaft, that is all the body and engine configuration will allow, but its better than nothing, going to make new lower control arms tomorrow, and stick it back together and let it eat and see what shakes loose.
also have to deal with the gearing..1 thing at a time... |

Its funny how now that Im working at a tire shop, how many people just carry a can of fix-a-flat. Its not a bad idea keeping a plug kit in the car though, ever since I spotted a screw in one of my GF's tires Ive had one at hand in her glove box ever since.

right test drive revealed i still have a vibration at 70ish, though its different this time and i blame the shaft itself, its about 1/2" too short now as well as when i had the Ujoint replaced the guy at the shop said the tube is slightly egged, so tomorrow i get a new shaft made and go from there....it has approx 2 degrees of drop from trans to rear and about 2 degree down pinion, that is the best i can do.
in other news....it will spin the tires about anytime you want...passing people at 70mph on the interstate whilst crabbing sideways has got to rustle a few jimmies. when its finally tuned it will be undriveable...methinks... |

 i just hope i can cure the vibe...it used to be so smooth at high speed...and as for the gap...i spose the engine is as good as it can be, i have beat the piss out of it trying to make that noise worse and it hasnt tossed its cookies so, now i just need to get the AFRs tuned in, front end aligned and hopefully cure the vibe and make my vent canister fit, and then...win the lottery so i can afford the fuel and motel....

so far as i can tell the vibe is cured, put about 40 miles on it, including some northern speeds, and it seems ok now, with the help of my friend riding shotgun for some street tuning we got the interstate and mid range driving AFR's tuned in pretty good for a short session, its not perfect but its pretty good.
car is making great power and drives real nice, the combo such as it is, is a great one, now time will tell if the T2 trans will live, but ill just be nice to it now, got the gears changed out and put the swaybar and tailpipe back on it, and get it ready for DGRR!! |

even a short driveshaft will cause wierd vibes. Had them in my FC, a few shims and spacers got rid of it in the troubleshooting phase, can't imagine how the shaft got egged but that as well as I'm sure you know will do it as well.... Quote:
