Drexler LSD and 3.46 final ratio

[zorg]

holy sh... batman very nice, must make for decent lap times with the brakes as well. I'd better start saving and working on the CFO.

WHen are you coming down? We should catch up for sure.

Way... We should be back in Melb for delivery from SBM on Sat 18 Oct. Current plan has us returning to Adelaide via the long road on Monday 20th. Unfortunately we won't be able to stay for the Vic. Addicts cruise on the following weekend Sun 26th.

Guys, I am very excited about seeing how your cars take shape. I spoke to Andrew today and am impressed by the red carpet treatment he has planned for you out-of-towners. I hope I get a chance to see the expressions on your faces when you take delivery on the 18th!

[zorg]

look forward to seeing the results.

nice sig Professor.

[2QIK4U]

Professor, Thanks for your comments. Truth is we wouldn't have found Andrew and certainly would not have trusted him with this project if it was not for recommendations from yourself, Way and numerous others on this site.

Thanks all.

Mike...

[WAY]

Let's have a GTG after your delivery Mike. Maybe we all meet up in the afternoon? Or we give you an hour or so with Andrew to go through things and we all meet at his shop?

[2QIK4U]

Great Idea. Assuming all goes well, we fly back to Melbourne arriving 2.00pm then straight to SBM. Will provide an update as we get closer to the day.

[professor]

You know I was thinking that because of the proprotionally more radical stuff we are doing to our cars here in Australia compared to the average bloke in the US, and because SBM stands alone at the cutting of edge of doing it all for us, it probably makes Andrew the most qualified 135i modder this side of Germany!

Which does NOT mean he should increase his labor charges!!

[professor]

wayne, so do you now drive with the DTC perpetually off? do you look out of the window of your apartment praying to the Lord that it may rain just a little bit?

Why? I don't need the rain to provoke slides if that is what you mean. Easily done with the current set up. I have not driven in the rain yet actually. Btw, I took the car down to a piece of road I know really well a couple of nights ago, and for the first time in any car I have driven, I was getting a bit scared of the sensation of speed and was backing off. I don't know if it's because I am getting old, or because the car is frighteningly quick now with the shorter gear ratio. I mean it just goes through the rev range that much faster. I was also able to provoke to nice controlled slides in the lower speed corners. Nice. :wink: (if the law enforcement is reading this, it was a private road!)

[takahashi]

You are getting old WAY. It happens over time me thinks.

I think Andrew should get promoting your car and you can get some back from him. That will involve a big fat sticker on the car.

[professor]

i meant

oh, and this one is for you taka:

[takahashi]

It is a nice car!

3 rotor for 300 hp though??? That is not a max tune LOL. It is easily a 500hp car in the hands of Jap tuner. Seen the RE Amemiya 3 rotor RX-7?

[Evolution Racewerks]

Fine, I'm lucky most of the time but now of jealous of you right now.

BTW, I had a meeting/dinner with the big boss lady this past weekend and somehow or another, I've convinced her to give me more budget to start a new project for the car woo hoo! This one will be big :wink:.

[WAY]

Come on Fred, do tell what the next big thing??? You are not cracking open the engine are you? High performance pistons and cams? Do tell! If you can't then please PM me hehe.
