Guest Hal Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 No they are not that great. Plenty have been grenaded at the power you have on spray. They would be an upgrade over what you have though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseyctsv Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Just keep in mind his car is 1000 pounds lighter than a Cobra so getting it off the line will not stress the rear end as much on the launch. (At least that is my theory) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 well then...I was miss informed on V8rx7 forum... Yes but, the biggest issue Cobras have is half shafts. I'm not familiar with any of the kits for you but, if you can do level 6 half shafts you will be a hell of a lot better off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokey Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 sucks to hear Erik, hopefully you get it back up and running with minimal fuss. I've never checked into it, but what do the V8 guys do to replace the factory power plant frame? Do you make it fit to the t56 somehow or just go without it? Do you run a diff brace instead?

Rotarded1647545491 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 *Raises hand* Sploded the diff in my FD as well. I ran a TII diff until my car got crushed. Easy swap. If the LSD doesn't have the spider gear debris to jamb the entire diff and flex the case until it splodes, then you can get away with the stock case. Yes, the case isn't reinforced but has a much better record with a clutch type LSD. then you just have to make sure you control wheel hop. If you end up going with a TII LSD, I have a set of solid urethane diff mounts, already installed in the dog-bone mounting bracket, I'll sell you cheap. I've swapped 4 or 5 diffs on my back in a garage. Not too bad except the bolts and Fuel filter on top of the differential.....unless you are a contortionist who owns Gearwrenches!
