Good call Ste. Deffo going to be getting a front mount soon enough but I'll see how the welder is on track before I start upping the power. Better off learning with smaller power methinks

Process of diff welding and refitting, and how the cars been rolling the last little while

http://i479.photobucket.com/albums/rr156/driftireland/44444444444444444.jpg

Note the di tent / makeshift diff fitting rain shelter! Got the SP1s back on at laaaaaaaaast. Wheels make a car. Also black and white shots. FACT

http://i479.photobucket.com/albums/rr156/driftireland/7777777-1.jpg

Also the new Grids, should have them back during the week. Not a stratch on any of them, marks are from tyre paste

http://file047a.bebo.com/18/original/2009/07/05/23/44176021a11169476736o.jpg

Also tested the diff on my private racetrack and the difference is kind of scary! Can't believe I went so long without a decent diff

Also after being out in Jay's car today and hearing it on the limiter for 99% of the time, and with intentions of doing Mondello myself in the near future, and much to Stevo's delight, I'll be investing in a set of these as soon as I get some money transferred to my Paypal.

17-07-09, 15:44

Dont want to sound stupid but what do rocker arm stoppers do for a car?

Romo

17-07-09, 17:10

there hella important on SR20's as the rocker arms seem to be fairly weak and are under a lot of strain when your bangin of the limiter the whole time, it basicaly stops them from breaking - how they work I have no idea :)

Davie

17-07-09, 18:32

rocker arm stoppers bolt on with the cam caps and sit on top of the rocker arms,they prevent the rocker arms from comming off the top of the valves,a must have if your gunna abuse your sr20 and dont want bent valves or a fucked engine,
how much for the tomei RAS darragh?
