Rear end is coming a long ways. the rear mounts are tacd in position, now to chop and chromoly the front side

 

[madsupra88]

rear end fab is pretty much done , tomorrow it will be dropped off for blasting and powdercoating.

Making the front mount more rigid

Parts showing up for the diff build.

Strange 31 spline spool

Changed up the design on the piston and decided to go a different route. Custom Naber Racing spec piston will be getting used (the one on the left)

Very impressive welds and it's going to be a cool project to keep up with. Thanks for sharing.

Nice... Very interested! Monster street mk3 for sure.
What transmission you'll use? And what's the ratio on the 8.8 diff?

Ronnie K bushings came in (honestly not impressed with them at all , specially after so many people recommended them)

Subframe powder coated, bushings installed ( currently in process of making my own but will install after Tx2k, these will do for now)

all suspension parts powdercoated and new Energy bushings installed throughout the whole rear.

Knuckles are out and I will be pressing in new wheel bearings while out, might as well do it

Ring and pinion came in , no pic yet but once the rebuild kit comes in and the cover ill be building the diff.

Whats your opinion on the bushings?
I am taking an alternative path with mine, curious what your take is.

 

[madsupra88]

quality is just not what i expected. those are pour in poly. un even and not consistent at all. both halfs dont line up as you can see with the metal sleeves in. the sleevs them selves just very poor machinning/drilling and not to mention all the hats on the bushings look like they were cut out using a hand blade and not a lathe like i expected. numerous craters and sponge like texture.

Granted they still fit good and im sure they will perform good as well but for approx 300$ the quality doe not match the price. im in the process of making some myself so ill be swapping mine in once im done

 

[madsupra88]

You can see the edges were hand cut very uneven , just poor cut over all

 

[Piratetip]

Gotcha.

I am also in the process of making my own set of molds

yes sir 10.8

Custom Naber Racing Titanium intake and exhaust valves +1mm on both.

stock intake weights in at hefty 49 grams new titaniuems weight it at only 30 grams
while stock exhaust weights in at 44 grams and the new titanium weight in at just 27 grams!!!

less spring pressure/ more control at 50* angled valves = sex

 

[Piratetip]

Very nice.

 

[madsupra88]

Rear is coming together. now ready for custom axles.

Going to use the stock rear control arm?
