Here's a fun update. I kept breaking axles. I broke 3, all clutch kicking. So, I did the Parts Shop Max Solid Aluminum Subframe and Diff Risers. It was a major pain in the ass to install but the car feels great now. I highly recommend these if you plan on doing some drift days and/or track days. The whole rear of your car will be louder but you can feel everything the back end is doing. This is a huge step forward for drifters and road racers. The front end tells you what its doing through the steering wheel but the rear is often unpredictable with soft rubber bushings, this 100% solves that.

I also got Driveshaft Shop 600hp axles and Aluminum One Piece Driveshaft. There a highly needed set of components for what I am doing with the car. I've been using Driveshaft Shop for almost 10 years, I love them.

I clutch kick with confidence now. I'm also prepped for the high amounts of power we'll acquire later this year. V8ery high amounts.











Get the bushings out of the subframe and diff was the worst. Much bad. Very pain.





But finally after about 10 hrs it all came together.

So what do you do next? You test it. Testing went well. Balance is important while drifting. Make sure your passengers know to keep things balanced and symmetrical. Full lock is pitiful on these.
