scoobyclimbs Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 I finished the shifter console, carrier bearing mounts, rear driveline resized, rear disc. hubs redrilled to 6 lug.. I might actually have time to do my LSD swap... Gotta finish my bumper welding/winch wiring....so much to do before the WCSS... I think it's kinda funny ...I purchased my hatch one week before last years show...it wasn't even driveable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast I Drive Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I finished the shifter console, carrier bearing mounts, rear driveline resized,rear disc. hubs redrilled to 6 lug.. I might actually have time to do my LSD swap... Gotta finish my bumper welding/winch wiring....so much to do before the WCSS... I think it's kinda funny ...I purchased my hatch one week before last years show...it wasn't even driveable... I just did the LSD swap in the Beast, its not real hard, just unbolt one thing and bolt another together, could be done in under an hour... I got mine back in the car in 30 minutes...

TeamCF Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 how was the tranny in that car greg?cheers, brian I'll let him chime in with the details. But I think it was a toasted automatic. He had to put the FWD fuse in to even get it to move. Far as I know that car has already been crushed as of last monday. (we did the mad dash to strip out what we wanted that weekend. I got the seats! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
