Great article! I assume the total portrayed by the scale includes the wooden plank so the weight difference between the two is not quite as great?

Also the weight difference between the two is around half(as stated) I just calculated it(I'm working out my own personal weight loss regime for my car atm - I'm bored): STOCK: 11.181035kg CF DSS: 5.599032kg

This is certainly one of the mods I'm looking forward to myself, once I finally get my own 86. I like the idea of reducing drive train power loss and improving the underlying performance prior to upgrading power.
Lighter 17x8 rims, brace kit, cf drive shaft, lighter pulley kit and diff ratio are the first mods I'd likely make. |

Just wanted to say thanks to Victor for stopping by the shop and taking some pictures. I think we were each able to knock out the work that needed to get done to our vehicles.

Now you've had this for awhile can you comment on thoughts of performance and NVH and so on please? Very curious to hear as I am doing mine soon as well. I know some fellows with the aluminum ones have commented on increased NVH or vibrations and having to turn 90-180 degrees on back plate to rid of and wondering if there are any concerns on the CF version?

How much fluid will leak from an Automatic Transmission during this conversion?
How do you refill?

Does that collar (or whatever that piece is that bolts in the middle of transmission tunnel) offer any structural advantage to the chassis? Should you reinstall something to bridge that gap, that was once bolted together with the stock drive shaft?

I don't see why it couldn't hurt to add a brace. Just have to get one made. I don't notice any negative side effects at the moment.
