You are starting to look like ZZ Top.
LMFAO...



Dave, if/when you ever meet Chris in person, and you see his list of MP3's in the shop, you'll understand why the "beard" fits him...lol [/quote]

Hey I am used to mechanic guys with beards that dig ZZTop.

I was rasied by one.....



Back on subject, Dragon can you also make me a diff brace?

I am assuming that by adding a tranny brace, my eurothane motor mounts and the torque brace that I have. Any movement will find its way to the differential so i should get that tightened up to.

I'll be getting a diff brace soon, and Chris will be "copying" it and mass producing those as well.



You going to get a solid diff mounts as well?



Let me tell you...my tranny used to move ALOT before, mainly backwards and forwards when I decelerated/accelerated, but now...no movement. NONE. NADA. it's awesome!

that is the one last thing i want to do put in my new diff bushings but its a pain the ***. i'll wait till something breaks till i do that again



jspec got me the diff brace from japan. ito didn't make that although he could have if he wanted. i'm pretty sure that is the one they are gonna reproduce

Does all this stiffening of the driveline put extra stress anywhere else?

the direct result might be a cracked PPF.... but i think in reality most of the stress gets distributed through the chassis. you FEEL it in my car. so far nothing bad has come of it. i have zero complaints... my car doesn't break now

LOL.. I would seem all that stress goes to the tires.. My car has solid mount everything and I super reinforced a the hell out of my rear Koki sub frame as well and a 7pt roll bar. Feels like a tank and much easier to contol under power. The *** end plants and the car goes strait and doesn't do stupid **** anymore...
