Default My Rear Got Beefed Up & It Feels Great

Today I went to ECS to get my rear replaced. What were you thinking I had done?

Doug built me a new rear with new gears, case, Quaife differential, hardened shafts, bearings and so on. You get the idea, The rear is all new. The old rear will get a once over and put on the shelf as a back up.

While driving home, I knew that this rear would be around for a long time. when making a turn, the rear worked as if it was a Detroit Locker. No whining, No chugging, No slipping and No clunking.


The real test will be at the track.

Thanks Doug, Chris & John for the great work.

Maybe I did that at Carlisle? Maybe I needed some extra $$$$?

Nothing was wrong with the old rear. I wanted to take it out before there was a problem so it would be on the shelf as a back up. If I waited till it was not working properly, it would have been a nice chunk of change to repair to have on a shelf.

Dirty Old Man.

Maybe soon. Now that the rear will handle the extra power. I also don't want people to start crying or say that I have a bottle. I will have a video of the pass.

You actually brought it to whole other level Marc.



Beefing your rear was very enjoyable Rob, you did leave nice skid marks before, but they should be even darker now.
