So since the 2 ball washers above are bored let me give you a quick update!
The car is 99% done! i had to get a new 3" elbow as one had a cut in it so that set us back a few days because of the weekend. Then the axles are giving us an issue so that set us back as well. finally my new tires came in Toyo R888 those are on the rims and wouldn't you know it! Its done!!! on the floor ready for a night of breaking in the Turbos!!
but i cant lay into for 200 miles. and then i do another boost leak test, do a data log for an updated file and Frankenstein is ready to play!!

 

Good to hear some progress, it is definately moving faster than mine

 

Thanks BRO!!! Yours will be ready soon enough!! That car of your is going to be INFRIKENSANE!!! Get your pilots license for it!!

 

It's either the pilot license or diapers. I'll go with the latter

 

Let me guess, once you tightened the axles nuts up the wheels no longer turn?

Having installed and tested them I can tell you they are not a direct fit as you may have been led to believe, if you've got a lathe and a air grinder you can make the ones you had work.

 

That's a bummer

 

awesome bro! ill bring the smart car so we can go at it!

 

We no we found that the boot was hitting the shock, but tell me about the issue you had?
We did have to grind the hell out of the hub to make it fit properly.
You are correct it is not a direct in and out, but it will work.

 

Hubs needed grinding to call hell, radius on the outer shaft was not correct, had to turn it on our lathe to prevent the bearing from binding when tightened. This solved the boot problem as well as the axle was able to travel freely.

 

Thanks Wes!

So i took the car out for a break in Drive. Man it fees Good! so then i start the car LOL and just driving around stop and go traffic situations, yup all fine. Hit an open road 3rd gear and blip the throttle at 3k .2 bar now i was instructed to not go over .4 for break in so i did not! I swear i didn't.. Cruising along some more keep doing the same thing, pull 4th same thing. Kinda boring all this and nothing more right! So i hit Traffic yea Traffic at 11:30 at night! friken backed up for 2 miles!! sitting next to people and in no means is my car quiet at all you figure 1st gear rolling at 2500 not good, Great Don't i pull up next to a cop! he looks over 2wice at me and says Little Loud isnt it, " no not really you should see when i punch it" he laughs and says keep it going. LOL after 30 odd minutes of this crap I hit open road again!!! .2 bar .4 bar .6 bar on and off. WOW!!! on the way home i hit a long stretch of road, so i leave nice, shift at .4-.6 bar every gear till 5th. Man she moves air!! WoW that's an amazing feeling!!! I know that i have to check everything over again but it was pulling like a banshee!
Markski dude this kit ROCKS!!! I had a smile on my face from ear to ear! Couldn't even fall asleep how amazed i was!!

Nice to hear you are on the road again and seems like Mark worked his Magic How long did it take your crew to put on the axles....my guess is about 4 hours of work?

 

yup 4 Hours. Dan @ Vivid stepped up and fixed all the issues. there was a issue with the cv boot.

 

nice bro , just wait till shes fine tuned...
