hey now! pictars!

VZA's rear diff!

Image

w00t!


Raz'z rear diff!

Image

w00t?!?

wait...something doesn't look quite right here...









oh right...forgot these! silly me!

Image

Raz's new rear diff!

Image

w00t!

here's a front tow hook i made at the shop on friday...

Image

we know it works cause i towed Raz's 745 about two blocks up hill as well as swinging his front end around...this all while in reverse...yay!

i am probably going to weld that third straight piece onto the flat metal, but i just put it there so the hook wouldnt bounce around too much

in other news i am going to brooks sunday morning so i won't be at the autoX, unless something changes between now and 9am sunday

ciao!

Welding is good.
Please report back with driving impressions, wet/snowy/dry.

dry - hook's up a lot better, actually throws you back (said by my passenger), even with my b21f

wet - don't know yet

snow - see above

ciao
