* The bumper is off because it was on a trailer.

[gSx-LeX]

Wow, another one. You must have serious time on your hands. Good luck!

[Black_ bullet]

Your a glutton for punishment. lol

[lazylaser]

Your a glutton for punishment. lol

Haha, I guess they're addicting. G/L

[lilredeclipse]

I just love it! More pics tonight!

[4g63rwd]

I gotta tell you Chris, that car looks familiar to me. I could swear I've seen it at the track in the last few years. I could be wrong, though. You forgot to mention that you've joined the awd side of things........or did you? Is this a trailer only Showdown car? If so, I got some stuff for ya!! Axles, driveshaft, 4 bolt, etc. Just kidding. I know you're not crazy like we are. Can't wait to see what this thing materializes into! And yes, you're a glutton for punishment. No, not because you have 3 DSM's (hell, we have 4!), but because you have three '90 DSM's! Enjoy!

[yangtech]

Looks like someone is getting all the fun. :D

I knew I'd see you in here sooner or later! You know when you convert that thing over, I might be needing a rear ;)... and those axles... and that driveshaft! HA! I thought I told you it was AWD the other day but I might not have. I think this one will turn into a trailer queen but as for now I will probably drive her to the showdown! :D I think it would get better gas mileage than the trailblazer.

The car use to have a decent build in it from what I heard. But I'm sure the one that's going in it will do just fine. :)

Thanks for the comments guys!

[blue_gsx]

I wish i could find a clean shell for that price..

Good luck with the new project.

You have a small junkyard in your drive way.

You have a small junkyard in your drive way.

Junkyard?? Thats a driveway full of upgrades! :P

[lilredeclipse]

Junkyard?? Thats a driveway full of upgrades! :P

I like how you think! I just pulled the motor mounts on the silver one to use for the the purple one! :D

[lilredeclipse]

Updates. Got the bay cleaned up some, ran the Harness, Dropped the engine in.

Good progress. Keep the pictures coming.

[lilredeclipse]

Did some more. It doesn't look like much but believe me its a lot! There was a rats nest of wiring under the dash that Had to be taken out. Rewired the car for the gauges, vacuumed the car out, put in the black rear seats, put on working hatch struts, hooked up the lever that opens the hatch. I can't remember everything but here are some quick pictures.

[b00stedtalon2]

Good work man!

[lilredeclipse]

Ok well I did some more today. The interior is finished. I just have to mount the boost controller and turbo timer. I took the wing off and cleaned up the 2 pounds of dirt and leaves that were in there.

I also mounted up the oil cooler and exhaust. I wired up the alternator with the extended harness. As soon as I get a flywheel and sending unit I'll be set.

[speed_demon]

Damn, that interior is clean. Guessing that I will see this at Rockingham later on this year. :)

[lilredeclipse]

Oh yeah I'll be there :D It should be running really good by then. I had a 4 bolt and DDS prorace axles offered to me earlier for a really good price. Now I just have to sell off some one the spare parts and cars!

[lilredeclipse]

Well I am freaking stoked !! I had her at the track today for the first time.


First pass of the day I wanted to roll out of the hole and just get a feel for her at the track

r/t .435
60ft 2.472
330 6.181
1/8 9.144
mph 86.15
1000 11.553
1/4 13.555
mph 112.56


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ6gBO2hvt0

2nd pass was the money maker of the day decided to say F it and just give her hell.


R/T .105
60ft 1.826
330 5.284
1/8 7.987

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLIHXFYZDT8


Enjoy. I look foward to fixing everything I found she needs and taking her back out. I know it has some 11 sec passes in it. Just have to make her do it!

[lilredeclipse]

Ok here is a small update on the car.

During the day at the track I was trying to make some adjustments to my AFR's well no matter how much fuel I pulled it would just run rich (10.0-10.5) the entire time. My airflow readings were jacked up.

Well the trans took a shit. It will not shift at all. Well it does but it makes this lovely grinding noise. I decided to pull the trans and have a look. I found my 4 month old 2900 to be junk. The 6 puck is smeared, the pressure plate is cracked and it ate the Surface on the flywheel. Oh well time to order that twin disc again…

During pulling out the trans and swapping in different clutches a friend sits down in front of the car. He’s like hey Chris do you know your front mount is cracked? WTF? Yep…. I am guessing it has been cracked since I swapped everything into the car.

My logs weren’t looking the same I was getting 7 counts of knock and my afrs were always rich as hell.

So hey that 12.2 I ran isn’t too bad now :D


I am currently looking into a built trans. Just checking different sites and prices now. I am also going to get the twin disc again. Most likely it will be the PTT this time around.

[lilredeclipse]

Took the car down to Fabworx today to get the full exhaust made. Gave her a little pull and guess what it holds boost. So much it pegged out my 30psi gauge and spun 2nd gear :D. After I get this tranny fixed it should be alot of fun once its back together!

[lilredeclipse]

Well.. it's been a little bit but the car is getting some changes. As most of you know the clutch disc and pressure plate took a shit. Well I'm in search for a twin disc for a decent price now. I have 2 brand new clutch discs for it so hopefully I can find a pressure plate and plates cheap!

Now other changes.

Rereading the rules for the classes at the show down basically states if you arn't running Q16 you need a full exhaust. Well after a couple hook ups she's getting it! It will be full 3" V-band from the turbo back with custom muffler.

Some teasers. My custom muffler made curtasy of FabWorx.

Jordan

[lilredeclipse]

Hey I had a WTB thread! No one wanted to sell me their stuff! :D

[lilredeclipse]

Ok I'm at work right now so I can't see the photos on photobucket. I hope I got the right ones.

Just an update. These pictures are kind of late but hey oh well. The car is now waiting on me to finish up the rear bushing, Exhaust manifold installed, and waiting for my valve cover to get finished by TCC.

Bushings!

Word on the build, and nice stock fan mod.

[lilredeclipse]

:D Stock fan is kicking ass! I'm the only one I know that has one and stays under 190 all the time!

[JAXWHITE1G]

Looking good Chris. Can't wait to see it next week at Beer and Wings IV.
Mike

[lilredeclipse]

Well sorry I haven't updated this for a while! I get side tracked a lot and forget about my build thread on here!

Let me update since my last post.

Since the new parts I have done a good bit more work. The car destroyed a clutchmasters fx500 clutch. It is a solid 4puck.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/gstgonnasmokeyou/90%20Purple%20AWD/0724092041a.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/gstgonnasmokeyou/90%20Purple%20AWD/0724092041.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/gstgonnasmokeyou/90%20Purple%20AWD/0724092040.jpg

This clutch was basically brand new and only lasted 9 passes down the 1/8 mile.

With that clutch I went 7.4@105 and 7.5@103 and various other numbers.

I have a friend Mike Ellis who is starting up a performance company and he offered to do a head for the car to do some testing.

The head has Enginebuilder 1mm oversized valves, Bowl work, ported runners, and Matched intake and exhaust manifolds.
http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh461/JAXWHITE1G/IMG_2711.jpg
I started polishing the exhaust valves in this photo, the intakes were as shipped.
http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh461/JAXWHITE1G/IMG_2731.jpg
I couldn't get the machine marks out without first turning them on the lathe with some oiled 1500grit sand paper.
http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh461/JAXWHITE1G/IMG_2738.jpg
Then I buffed them with a small cone buffing wheel. I tried a larger wheel but couldn't get into the concave part of the valve well so this worked better.
http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh461/JAXWHITE1G/IMG_2743.jpg
The final product.
http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh461/JAXWHITE1G/IMG_2747.jpg

This head project is getting quite long but I think a lot of people like to see the process. Tonight I CC'd the head. This is how I do it. Cut a piece of plexiglas,drill two small holes in it one at each end of the combustion chamber.
http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh461/JAXWHITE1G/IMG_2752.jpg
Put a ring of heavy grease around the chamber to seal the plexiglas and center it. Don't let the grease in the chamber just around the edge.
http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh461/JAXWHITE1G/IMG_2748.jpg
Fill a syringe with oil and check the volume and with the head tilted up slightly insert it into the lower hole and fill the chamber untill oil comes out the upper hole.
http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh461/JAXWHITE1G/IMG_2749.jpg
http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh461/JAXWHITE1G/IMG_2750.jpg
Check the volume that is left and subtract it from the start volume and that is the chamber size. I had a leak on the first try because the valves were slightly above the surface. A couple notches fixed the problem.
http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh461/JAXWHITE1G/IMG_2751.jpg
These are 44cc. I'll do some polishing tomorrow and assemble and be ready head north friday evening.
Mike

The final product.

More port work pics and assembly
Things the pro's don't tell you! Stakeing a manifold is essential to good flow although it is rairly done. The bolt holes in a manifold allow some movement that can leave a mismatch in the ports. Align the manifold as best you can and drill a small hole through the manifold /gasket/ into the head a short amount. Disasemble and insert a small pin in the head and place the gasket on the pins. Match the ports to the gasket, insert pins into the manifold and do the same. Reinsert the pins in the head and install gasket and manifold on the pins and you will have a perfect alignment. You can do all the gasket matching you want but without staking the manifold you will never get a good port match, there is just to much play in the bolt holes.
http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh461/JAXWHITE1G/IMG_2772.jpg
I should have taken more photos but got to involved. I'm sure you get the idea.
http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh461/JAXWHITE1G/IMG_2773.jpg
Do the same on intake and exhaust.
http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh461/JAXWHITE1G/IMG_2774.jpg
After we staked the manifold we quit for the night and when I returned Chris had it on and the trans in so we continued reassembly and degreed the cams. They were both 3 deg retarded probably due to shaving the head.
http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh461/JAXWHITE1G/IMG_2775.jpg
http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh461/JAXWHITE1G/IMG_2776.jpg
We trued them and checked valve to piston clearance with a bore scope then

http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh461/JAXWHITE1G/IMG_2779.jpg
I cleaned up and headed to Jax. Mike
More coming.

[MacGSX]

Sweet brother, glad to see this!

[lilredeclipse]

Sweet brother, glad to see this!

I know! I forgot I started this on here!


Well I got the car tuned in doing some 3rd gear pulls. And prepped the car for E-town.

E-town was great and most of you got to see the car run down the track. The first pass sucked. I was not ready for the Pro tree to light up and I dumped the clutch. This blew out my 3 bolt rear!! I didn't know until the end of the track when I left off and heard some thumping.

I got a hook up from Shawn Brown with Boost boys and Girls Racing.

He brought out his Rear axles from the laser and the rear and said Just get it down the track. They are the Pro Level axles with upgraded cups and shafts.

I decided to just buy these from him! So hopefully I will never have to get another set.

Here are my vids from E-town:

14.3@116 with broke 3bolt rear.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjW6S-RPHDY

In car, not sure which run this was. Watch the dash :D.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mrke1C1m-mg

11.3@130 against Shawn.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjfohM2TgmY

No one got my 11.4@131 run.

Now I am prepping the car for a cage and a new trans.

I'm going to be picking up a Dogbox from Shep with in the next 2-3 weeks.

Stay tuned for hopefully low 10s!

[lazylaser]

Wow, Awesome progress. I'm learning some things while following this build thread.

[Sebba]

Oh, so you're the guy that obliterated his rear end.

[lilredeclipse]

Oh, so you're the guy that obliterated his rear end.
Yep that was me.

So a list of what will be going in the car hopefully by November for the NC/SC shootout.

Shep Dogbox
Full 8point or 10point cage ( have to review the rule book)
New struts
Lexan windows

[lilredeclipse]

Just got word that the car will be getting repainted in and out, to include the engine bay.

[lazylaser]

Just got word that the car will be getting repainted in and out, to include the engine bay.

Same color as they are now?

[lilredeclipse]

Yep Same color. I like the Black cherry. The hole where my sunroof ripped out of will be closed in for good, and you will not be able to tell.

Mike at Modern Automotive Dynamics is the man helping me with everything on the car. He wants to help me step up the car to the next level and start pushing it more. And he keeps reminding me that the car has to look nice doing it!! :D

I spoke with him tonight and we are going to focus on the cage and the interior of the dash for the moment. We want to the car to be able to run at the NC/SC shoot out.

[MacGSX]

Paint? It looked pretty good last month!

[lilredeclipse]

Yes paint!! Who wants to sponsor a ugly car?

Just picked up :

Tial bov
Dss 3" alum driveshaft
8point roll cage

Tomorrow I will be ordering my trans, hopefully picking up a trailer.

Plan on getting a set of CCW rims and hoosier tires for a damn good deal too.
Can't wait!!!!

[MacGSX]

It just hit me. You re-enlisted didn't you fag? That's where these parts are coming from!

Jordan

[lilredeclipse]

HAHAHAHAHA! 20k to spend on what!!! :D :D :D


:rockon: :P :D

[MacGSX]

You bastard! Remember that 19k I loaned you?

[lilredeclipse]

How else do you expect me to feed my addiction? And how else am I going to get my dogbox? You don't make enough on the corner to buy that one... :D

[lilredeclipse]

Just paid for:

Dogbox
CCW Rims
Hoosiers

I can't wait!!

[MacGSX]

My hatred for you grows with every post. If I had a ban cannon I would launch you in to the vacant and recently child safe never land ranch.

[lilredeclipse]

HAHA Listen here you broke asshole! Go to class before they kick you out and become a bum!

[lilredeclipse]

Just placed my order for some G-Force racing equipment

Helmet:
GF Eliminator Helmet Full Face-Black
Snell M2005 and SFI 41.1/2005 rating.

Jacket:
GF505 Jacket-Black SFI 3.2A/5 rating

Gloves:
GF G0 Gloves-Black SFI 3.3/1 rating

Harness:
PRO 5PT Latch & Link Harness-Black SFI 16.1 rating

I did not get the pants because I want to have a 2 Piece suit. And technically I do not need it until I hit 135mph. or 9.9et. I figure this will hold me off for now.

[lazylaser]

I do not need it until I hit 135mph. or 9.9et. I figure.

11's @ 135+ :D

Looks like your reenlistment bonus is going to good use. Take pictures of the expensive parts when they come in.

[lilredeclipse]

So at 130mph these stock brakes suck balls. So I got some bigger ones :D.

Nope he will be in the 11's forever. His driver mod sucks.

[91turbodsm]

What are the measurments on the old school SBR street FMIC? And also, how much boost on the 3052 are you running through it? Because I got their new street FMIC, and Im trying to decide if it will be enough for my 50 trim at 30 psi? And for future reference a 35r at 30 psi. Measurments on mine are 24 x 7.75 x 3.5 and 2.5 inch IC piping.

Looking really good man!

Thanks man!!

Mac you suck.... lol.

[MacGSX]

Haha, I know it!!!!! Good luck this weekend. Looks like you, zane and me are all heading to the track, just all in different states! If all 3 of us are running someone is going to break :(

[lilredeclipse]

Wont be my shit!! haha..

Oh and if someone tells you that you can not drive a dogbox on the street tell the they are full of shit. :D

[91turbodsm]

Good luck guys! Hopefully nobody breaks. What did you say the measurments of the FMIC were again?

[lilredeclipse]

I'll be at the track today for some test and tune.

[duddy]

I'll be at the track today for some test and tune.

I feel a 10 second pass coming, good luck.

[Spoolin69]

Good luck buddy!! Do my go fast parts some good!!!!

[MacGSX]

You better run faster than that 11.3 Chris. If not I may catch up this weekend ;)

Good luck!

[123abc]

Good luck. Hopefully nothing breaks with those new Hoosiers....:D

[Black_ bullet]

Damn I need suspension like that, I still have GR2's and my weight reduction is making the car sit at stock ride height right now.

Good luck on your passes, dont launch it too hard w/ those slicks :)

[MacGSX]

So I get no call, text or thread update?!?! WTF man? How did it run!?!?!

[MacGSX]

Well through my superior tracking skills, I found evidence that you broke your car again...LOL. My bet is your front axles didn't like the hoosiers.

[Jk's97DSM]

I see your running better since when you came to Jax.

[lilredeclipse]

sooooooooooooo...


Thursday was interesting.

First pass.

Car was set to 7200 launch, 7000antilag, 22psi at the line, and 8500 rev limit.

I made it about 60' before It blew the driveshaft off the rear end. All 4 bolts that hold it onto the rear broke off. :dunno:

Got that fixed and set up for another pass.

This time it was all the same settings but I did not launch off of the 2step. I eased out of the hole and hit it as soon as I started moving.

Well right before the 1/8th my front right axle broke. WTF?

I couldn't move at all no power anywhere.

Comes to find out that the transfercase broke, front tires hooked and snapped.

But I did coast to a 7.01 1/8th :D

Broke driveshaft

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUFUL6zYGZE

[duddy]

7200 launch oh my!!! Is that t case shaft twisted/stuck inside of that driveshaft now?

[lilredeclipse]

No it didn't stick in there the splines didn't twist either so I got lucky. It just wouldn't come out for some reason so we pulled the yoke off... then it came right out.

[lilredeclipse]

Hit the 1/8th mile track near here. It was in Newport,TN

First pass the car blew the U-joint apart at the front of the driveshaft.

Second pass, We dropped the transfercase and driveshaft to do a fwd pass!

Went 9.2@97 with no traction on the hoosiers at all.


Finally got the driveshaft fixed and made a third pass. Set a new PR and found the car has way more in it!

Went 6.96@113!! 1.7 60'

So I am going to lean the car out some, it is still really rich 11.0-10.9 for E85. Hopefully next time down the 1/4 mile I can get my first 10 sec pass!

I did the same thing launching my 1g at 7000+ rpms... lol... But I had to replace my yoke... Thats a LOUD bang when that twists off..


But I was on street tires !

You'll hit low tens with that mph.

And I think I'm rockin' the same wheels.... HEll Yeah..

[lilredeclipse]

Videos are up of the passes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKBleK8zIdg

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIyEbLoCTfI

[MacGSX]

Nice man! It's crazy to see you trapping a higher MPH in the 1/8th than most in the 1/4 ;)

[lilredeclipse]

I plan on beating your mph tomorrow at the track :D J/K man! I'm hitting the track for the weekly test and break things....

[MacGSX]

Another 1/8th or the 1/4?

Well I plan on breaking your 1/4 time this sunday ;)

[lilredeclipse]

1/4 hopefully jackson is not gay tomorrow.

[Black_ bullet]

Why dont you wear gloves when you work on your car, lol

and that sucks about the twin disk. I might have missed it, do you know what numbers your putting down?

[lilredeclipse]

It only put down 420 on the mustang dyno. For some reason I never have good dyno runs :dunno:. I checked the logs better after we were done and I saw my boost would 30 at 5k and drop to 22. So it was not getting all the airflow and the afr's were reading 10.0's.

I'm not sure why it didn't click on the dyno but I realized I probably have a prety bad boost leak somewhere.

Also no track tomorrow. Have some issues with my driveshaft I need to address and a leaking transfercase that needs fixed.

I'll be at the track saturday.

[Black_ bullet]

If not a boost leak could also be waste gate issues ^

[lilredeclipse]

Well the maf was still reading high airflow numbers. That is the only reason I would lean more towards a boost leak.

[lilredeclipse]

Blew another transfercase last night on the 2nd pass.

1st pass was an easy one.

60' 2.6
1/8 8.6
mph 100
1/4 12.5
mph 127

2nd pass I did an easy launch at 5500 and slipped the clutch.
I forget what the slip says exactly

I remember 1.7 60' and 12.0 @115. The transfercase broke on the launch then it felt like I was slipping the clutch... it was fwd spinning the tires.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsh6wLc_drc&feature=player_embedded

[Black_ bullet]

Thats why you should always preload the car with the ebrake while staging before you launch.

[MacGSX]

LOL, Never gonna get a clean pass huh man?

[Spoolin69]

I've got a 23 spline if you need more LOL!!! I hope you get a clean pass with that monster!

[HOT97ECLIPSEGSX]

Christ...I love the sound of your DSM.

It's too bad you keep breaking shit. Awesome car! :tree: Keep up the work and let's see a full balls to the wall pass!

[lilredeclipse]

Thanks guys.

I always Preload on the ebrake. I even have a staging brake to put in as well.

I pulled the Tcase apart today and it's completely fine. bearings and everything are still good.

Checked the rear end everything seems fine. Output shaft for the Tcase doesn't move freely. I even had it up on all 4's and drove it to check everything. Used the Ebrake to lock up the rear tires and it killed the car. So the center diff should be fine.

What I don't get is that If I put in in gear I can spin the front freely. It shouldn't do that with a welded center diff should it?

I really don't feel like pulling the case apart to look in there but hey that takes what 5 mins.

[shadow_FIX]

You spelled "starring" wrong in your video :P That's a rule 7 violation!

Time to get another diff (maybe an aftermarket?) and get some more good passes out of that thing!

[lilredeclipse]

Hey I didnt make that thing!

* Note.. If you break the center diff in a Dogbox your are better than shep. There is no breaking this thing haha. I just took it out to look at it.

[lilredeclipse]

Another clutch down the drain....

I think he knows how to drive just overpowering the PresurePlate to where it start's to slip.

[lilredeclipse]

Freaking bullshit is what it is! It was a 1.7 60' no boost on the line and then it just let go. What the hell.

I pulled the tranny apart too just to see what the insides looked like. Pretty cool actually.

[MacGSX]

I think he knows how to drive just overpowering the PresurePlate to where it start's to slip.

It was a joke :dunno:

[lilredeclipse]

Me either...

[frankozz]

If you ain't breaking shit you are not going fast enough. Good luck on your build bro.

[lilredeclipse]

I should be at the track saturday! Can I get a freakn 10 sec pass yet? SHit!

[91turbodsm]

Good luck brotha! Hopefully you can get that 10 sec pass! Let us know how it goes. . ah shit thats almost a week away. Damn it.

[lilredeclipse]

New clutch is in. I should be at the track tomorrow.

[MacGSX]

What clutch?

Jordan

[lilredeclipse]

New quartermaster.

[lilredeclipse]

So I split a transfercase in half Thursday night. On street tires. And broke the yoke where the U-joint attaches. Also broke the drive shaft side where the U-joint attaches.

I am putting on a different stock drive shaft and it is currently drying from filling the carrier bearings.

I also pieced together a new 23 spline transfer case using a 22 spline and a 23 spline case. Yes you can mix and match :D.

The amount of parts you break is starting to get ridiculous.

[MacGSX]

Dude WTF? Didn't you have a DSS drive shaft? WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?!?!? And where did all that grass come from? LOL.

Jordan

[lilredeclipse]

Lol. Yeah this is starting to get old. The Driveshaft I picked up was made for a shep case so I have to get that as well.

But the grass is from driving down the left side of jackson after I blew it off.

[lilredeclipse]

Sorry guys been busy.

Ran the car Saturday and Sunday. Both nights I broke the drive shaft. Couldn't figure out what the hell was going on until my last pass Sunday night.


Saturday running the car fwd I did

1/4mile

13.2@127
12.9@124
12.8@127
12.6@128

also pulled a 8.8@94 in the 1/8 for a all time best fwd for me. I also never broke out of the 14s fwd lol. So I guess those are some damn good time for a car not setup for fwd.

Sunday I fixed the middle and rear U-joints and got it all back together.

First pass was easy out of the hole probably a 3 something 60'

I got on it in 2nd and hit third. As soon as I hit 3rd the drive shaft exploded.

Pulled everything off and ran fwd. I tried dialing it in a little better with the suspension to hook better. But the best 60 was a 2.4 I think.

Ran 1/8th mile

10.0@84
9.0@97
9.0@99
9.1@100
9.1@101

Fun fwd day.

The last pass something broke and sounded familiar. like a drive shaft broke. Well I get to the trailer and jack it up. The 4 bolts that hold the left rear axle on broke.

So the rear has to be locking up.

I am done for now. I am going to have to wait until I get back to fix it up and freshen up the engine.

I have videos of every pass. Remember SC is a huge grudge racing area so they do not post up the times unless you ask.

How do you seriously keep exploading driveshafts? EE runs 130s and never ran into this problem. I believe that was before his DSS. Either that, or his DSS works wonders.

Found the rear end locking up. It broke the bolts that hold on the left rear axle. It did this when I ran FWD.... lol
