The exhaust note is too loud for camera. But it sounded AMAZING.

[B C]

[Brian.]

Just did the maiden voyage to really test this beast out. She held up. 300 mile trip to Kenosha and back. BMW hauled a $4000 built up LS-V motor.

Well, the diff's been sitting for upwards of 2 years, on the ground, so it needs to be broken in a little.

[YoungCR]

Yup part 2 still to come!

[Brian.]

^yeah, possibly. It'll depend if I'm selling a set of rims or not, cause if I am, I'm gunna have to post pone it, till I get a new set. I can't be down to 1 set of rims, and have 2 of the tires destroyed..

[Brian.]

Well, sheared the bolts that hold the half shaft into the diff, woops.

Hoping to find another half shaft relatively soon.

Did you get the rest of the bolts out?

Only one chunk of one's stuck in the output flange, the axle shaft it's self has one that's twisted/bent in there. But a simple attack with the cutting wheel will solve that.

[Brian.]

parts ordered for rebuilding of rear halfshaft. Hopefully I get this back on the road by wednesday night!

[Brian.]

I pay extra for 3 day shipping, instead of 5-8 day shipping, still takes 5 days to get here. I wrote pelican a nice little email, about how I pissed I was that I ordred stuff, paid twice the normal ground shipping rate, to get it here in 3 days, just to have it show up in 5. What the fuck.

[B C]

Did you get jelly beans with your order?

[Brian.]

Wouldn't know. It's still to arrive. I doubt I'll get jack shit. Seeing as the order is already 2 days behind.

it better come with something extra. trident layers are always a nice bonus.

call them and complain tell them you want your shipping money back. if they give you any lip tell them if they dont do something about it you will tell everyone on every forum. or post something in bfc and someone from pelican parts will probly contact you.

I'm planning on calling them a little later today and chewing them out. This is retarded.
