hopefully the balance of those two unmatched driveshaft halves is acceptable!

It seemed to be driving at 40ish. We will see tonight as I will be headed up to shawano in a few hours.

Made it up to the track last night

So I'm pretty sure the driveshaft has a slight vibration at higher speeds. Not 100% sure if that is me over analyzing or actually true though lmao. We will see what the weekend holds ‍️

ClubFR Jam was rad.

It seems the driveshaft held up fine although I do feel like I need to get that sorted out. Also when putting my SSRs back on the rear for the drive home I noticed that there was grease on the inside of them, wellllll turns out the left outer axle leaked on the drive up lmao.

And I apparently drifted on it all day like that ‍️, so I'm glad it held up.

Waiting to see some media come through but here's some pics from the pits and a video of Sam and I.

OH! ALSO, the new 3.38 diff was amazing! I apparently didnt know that i was missing it with the old 3.46. Although i know it's not much of a change it was just enough to keep the car off limiter

Wow!

very cool to see both cars matching/together and drifting in tandem. Im not saying you guys should marry eachother but if you did i’d totally get it.

Hahaha that was our idea is having them look similar yet different.

Not much new with the car as of now. Replaced the left axle again before DD76. Which was due to my own dumbassery, the outer joint was leaking grease from me using a persuader tonget it in the hub against my better judgement, and the cup bent allowing the grease to escape.

Anywayssss.

The event went well, my first few runs I thought I heard a clunking in the rear end but it was inconsistent and ended up being my 2x4 e-brake and a beer cap ‍️

Also @Sam_Holzmann and I finally touched tips, which was bound to happen with how close we get to eachother. Luckily there was no major damage. My bumper ejecto-ed as designed (3 small zip ties with the intent to break under pressure and then my bash bar bent in a bit. Which was easily bent back.

@Jdesign was in Sam's car when it happened even

Here's a pic of the "damage" the bash bar was already bent back before this pic.
