Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.

Ok, feels like a long ass time since the car has been rolling.
But I rebuilt the driveshaft and boy does it feel good.
I also swapped out stock shit rear motor mount for a prothane one from the man known here as HALON!!!, thanks dude made a bigger difference than I thought and it feels good (on me).

What else? hmmm Oh I installed an end clutch kit aka 4th gear clutch kit, there were signs of burning on the stock one but not too bad, this kit should be good for the power that i can throw at it with this turbo.

So once I got all that installed I had an issue with the car blowing MPI fuses, turns out my sweet fuel pump install had a short life, somehow the bolt going thru the positive stud/bulkhead thing wore thru to the sending unit and was grounding itself out.
Thanks for 93GTPeater here for saving me with one! He also gave me his stock driveshaft because mine had a bent yoke in the middle. I love this guy.

I also fixed my power steering leak and ended up replacing the alternator, old one finally couldn't take anymore PS fluid bathing it.

So tomorrow I will be attempting to achieve my goals of 11s, after driving the car all week, I don't know if it has it, but there is only one way to find out.
