LoL nice! I should be ashamed I guess of the cheap chinese tools, but for an enthusiast/weekend warrior I can not justify the cost of higher end tools.
I do have a lot of US made Craftsman stuff though.
I only by Harbor freight's it looks halfway decent and I don't need precision. All of the equipment listed above as well as on my Jacks all still work fine! I used to buy craftsman but they never let me exchange broken tools. All the receipts fade within 30 days and are illegible LOL
"Lifetime guarantee" for the lifetime of the receipt ha ha

I've actually had good luck with Craftsman. Whatever has broken I just walk into Sears or Ace and they replace it no questions asked.
Not sure how that's going to change now that B&D bought the craftsman brand...

It may just be the Sears stores in my town. I have yet to have them exchange a tool for me. I'm going to start scanning the receipts so I can reprint them later. I'm sure they will then tell me, "Sorry. Original receipts only". LOL
Car is an 05 MR, so front/rear LSD and ACD. Didn't see any need to "upgrade or modify" the TC being low mileage and without any known issues so far.
Spent all the money on the rest of the drivetrain, might as well spend the money and have TRE do the tune up service, and the race prep work to the stock LSD to prevent it from cracking. The stock front LSD is fairly fragile, mine had cracks when I sent it to Jon, and my car had only 25k miles on it, and no known abuse except for a few launches.
Thats a good point. It doesn't seem to be as expensive as even the rear end was. I'll have to consider it. I've got nothing but time at this point so I'm sure I could fit it in the schedule.
Well my plan was to dive into events this year. But then I had a sewer issue and basement flooding. So the 10K the repair has cost me has set me back a ways. Hoping to still be able to do an event or 2 this season but time will tell.
Am a few bolts from removing T/C and motor. Will probably get the T/C worked by TRE as mentioned above...
Just read the entire thread! Such an awesome build. Sucks to hear about the sewer issue! Sounds like a s*** of an issue lol. Hope to see more updates soon
I'm sorry to hear about the bad news! Hopefully things will get back on track for you shortly!
Out of curiosity, and maybe I missed it, what spring rates are you running? Also what spring lengths are you running? 6 or 7" F/R?
I'm looking to run the exact same wheel setup, and possibly either Ohlins or AST's for my coilover setup and want to get the lengths right the first time!
