boxpin Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Getting new tires and noticed that the control arms are moving. Turns out those poly mounts have worn out. Lasted about a year. Replacing with Powerflex. Then I spotted some extra venting on my rotor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintonpriddle Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I was about to get drilled rotors, but had several people warning of them cracking on road cars. Something to do with the many cycles of heating / cooling that a daily driver gets. Sucks about the control arm bushings. I am doing them on my wifes car at the moment (Subaru Outback), and didnt realise there was such a difference in quality when you went poly.

boxpin Posted September 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Swapping the trans. Mainly because I smoked the clutch. How can one smoke a clutch with a 707? It was my first full launch with launch control. The car would not move, just roasted the clutch, How. Coming soon: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 What material was that disc? Looks like you need something more substantial in terms of friction material. The Spec discs rated for high output are not fiber-based. Horrible for DD in town driving though. My AP disc looks like it may have organic/fiber content, however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxpin Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 All right, things are coming back together. Picked up the flywheel. I had it stepped to give it some more clamping force. Kevlar disc this time. Replaced syncros in the new trans Swapped the quaife over... Does anyone have the torque spec for the ring gear??? and this last one if for 'VS Legend tha douche'..I caved, going back to steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Probably just as well. Those poly bushes looked like absolute crap. Surprised your tires weren't buggered from all that caster/camber change.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvo5.0 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Swapped the quaife over... Does anyone have the torque spec for the ring gear??? 65 Nm - 48 lb-ft according to Johann's write-up.....http://volvospeed.com/install_performance_parts_how_tos/performance_guides/quaife_lsd_m56h.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 All right, things are coming back together. Picked up the flywheel. I had it stepped to give it some more clamping force. Kevlar disc this time. Forgot to ask - did you measure total height of flywheel & assembled clutch to confirm you haven't moved to fingers outside the normal operating window of the Slave-T/O?

fwdGTP Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Yea, I'd be scared to cause an issues stepping it like that, realistically probably wouldn't hurt anything but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Mac Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I think that was the reason for my Southbend clutch(es) having so many clamping issues...wrong stack height. Either way; looks good John! Looking forward to videos but I'm really surprised that you smoked the clutch with the 707! Crazy torque or did you ride it too long?

boxpin Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Well somebody has got some explaining to do. Before everyone goes crazy I contacted them and they were in shock and asked me to sent it back of which they will correct the issue and get it back to me immediately.

Rod'sT-5 Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Good catch! Would have been a lot of work to pull that back out when it failed, plus it could cause lots of vibration that would be hard to locate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
