Totally agree with you Scott re factory HP claims. However, I think you'd have a pretty tired 1.6L at only 90rwhp. From memory the maintain difference between the 1.6 and the 1.8 is not power but torque. That's what breaks the teeny 6" 1.6L diff. I did worry about my diff on that sticky track and Falken azenis tires. It whines at the best of times <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> I have new noises today <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> I'm having real trouble finding an open 7" pumpkin (plus prop and drive shafts) without paying stupid ebay prices. I want an open because I've got a nice RX-7 clutch LSD to go with it. Let me know if you come across someone trying to get rid of theirs after a torsen swap or something.
Talking of open diffs, I had to giggle at those who did 'big time' burn outs with a open diff. One tire producing plumes of smoke while the other tire sat stationary and watched <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Heat up one tire sir? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
Double the weight, too....... and only half the gears with 3 on the tree.
<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> I was 'weighting' for that (sorry, terrible joke). However, I appreciate the compliment of assuming I could use all 5 gears in a 1/4 mile <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Never got to 5th...need a longer track <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
All good fun.
Thanks for the info Icy. That makes sense <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
