Default APR Stage III + FX300 Clutch = Somethings gotta give :(

I was sputtering above 15lbs of boost only to remember that I did not re-gap my plugs from .040 out of the box. So after gaping to .030 and doing a 4500 rpm launch the car responded great and boosted to 22lbs. So great that I decided to do another at 6k with the following results ......

I called Mike from Ringer Racing and as always, he took care of me with the following products

1) 034 Motorsports Rear Crossmember/Differential Carrier, Billet, B4/B5

034motorsport cross member differential-carrier-billet

2) Stern Power Ring and Stern Rear Diff Bushing Kit

ringer-racing.com Stern Products

3) 2 ea. Rear CV Axles

Should be a nice difference in shifting once all is said and done .......

No, it's just the rear diff cross member and a broken CV axle.

Long stretch of non occupied road that leads to nowhere and feeling good about the car and wanted to see what she could do on a launch

Yes I have the STaSIS center Diff, no the Aliens have not revisited, and the wife has been very content with the Honda Pilot for about a year now . I think the new sticky tires may have helped to contribute to the problem but it will be better as always in the end.

I will try to stop by a little more frequently so as not to become a stranger and all is good in NM as of now. I am actually working with Mike Hood in getting a motor built, and complete new turbo set up by the end of this year to get me into the 500whp club. I will keep you posted on that and this just helps to make the car more solid for the build

Can You say Twin Scroll 2.0L with 034 standalone
