I bought my old 93 Z28 back, now it needs some TLC

[Fox Slaughter]

I'm just going to get Joel a bra... he needs support.

[JoeliusZ28]

The differential girdle push-up bra, coming to a vickii's near you!

[Fox Slaughter]

I think before mike comes over tomorrow I'm going to throw a quick paint job on. I'm thinking a hot pink 10 bolt will be the sex.

[c0ncEpT]

I think its all in your head Joel. While it works in theory its does nothing to help that the ring and pinion itself is grossly undersized for cars this heavy with this much power. It may help with a bit of deflection but its not going to stop you from removing every tooth from the ring gear when you drop the clutch at 5K and it hooks

[JoeliusZ28]

I agree that a 7.5" ring gear is still a 7.5" ring gear no matter what you do to it. But what ive seen of gussetted rear ends, it does seem like there is some validity in making sure the ring and pinion stay in perfect alignment during hard launches.

[c0ncEpT]

You have a point and I agree it cant hurt at all. But how much time, effort, and most importantly money are you going to drain into the 10 bolt when all roads lead to a S60/9"/12 bolt.

Lots of ways to look at it.

[Fox Slaughter]

The deed is done.
Mike is currently driving back to Chelsea with a 10 bolt.

[mcalus]

This man speak the truth. (TJ, I'm leaving you feedback now)

Ill be dropping the old rear out tomorrow. Hopefully it will be nice enough for me to spray the rear and then the 3.42 rear will be going in Friday or Saturday.

[mcalus]

Got the old girl out.





Need new sway arm bolts. Where can I get some?

[Fox Slaughter]

Haha. I had to die grinder one of my sway bar end links.

So I need some also haha.

[mcalus]

Is the stock rear sway bar 19mm? There are 4 options...

They sell MOOG polyurethane end links for $8/link at Oreileys... At least they did 2 years ago. Do you need the clamps and bushings, or just the end links?

Really? That would be sweet. I don't need the bushings but it wouldn't be a bad idea. The clamps are still good, for now, I haven't pulled the sway bar off the rear yet.

[JoeliusZ28]

Im going to have to replace my endlinks as soon as i upgrade my sway bar too. I remember I broke a 3/8 ratchet trying to take them apart to paint it... so i just left them on

I just bought a 3/8th impact gun.
My 1/2in that would do 625lbs wouldn't even move the one. I finally got around today to hooking up the 700lbs one I have.
But nothing the die grinder couldn't fix. Haha.
