    IRS went KABOOM !!!!!!!

    Well, I had just installed a spec 3+ last week and finally broke it in. I decided that I would drive it tonite to a friends party. I left to get a bottle of Amaretto, while leaving Bashas I romped on it for the first time pretty hard as I shifted to 2nd POW.............................I have some pieces I picked up off the ground and I big ass hole in the differential. DAMN this sucks.

    But the clutch grabs really nice.....

    I will post some pics on Saturday for those who are interested.

    wheel hop is an irs's best friend. Set of level 5's , bushings, and a brace and it will be good enough to take low 1.5 60' times without a problem

    Level 5's. Don't get me started on those. Do a search on my problems with them.
    I upgraded back to stock halfshafts.

    I have pulled high 1.5's on stock bushings with the Billet flow IRS brace.

    I have about 50 runs on sticky tires on the IRS without a single failure.

    Oh yea by the way I will have an complete IRS for sale with the Billet Flow Brace.

    The Solid is going in tomorrow.
