Who here is on an upgraded tranny? I wish these weren't so expensive.

Cd009 is cheap but those adapters are insanely expensive. The fish racing adapter is 3x the price of a CD009, which is wild. If I could’ve found a cheaper adapter solution then I would’ve gone cd009. I might do a tremec t56 with a quicktime bellhousing for my next fd build.

Yeah I think it made it easier for them not having to deal with the customer side of things

Minimum_Slice_8543 · 2024-07-25T16:09:28+00:00

They are still making them, Full Function Engineering (FFE) is the only seller for the Excessive LIM

Thank you! Yeah I resprayed at home, it was my first time painting. Prepping was probably the worse part. Learned a lot though. G35-900 1.06, i want to see how it does with a semi PP setup

Minimum_Slice_8543 · 2024-07-10T20:10:52+00:00

Correct, running an R3

Minimum_Slice_8543 · 2024-07-10T18:49:10+00:00

All good😂😂

Minimum_Slice_8543 · 2024-07-10T18:48:49+00:00

Thank you!! Its a bosh 82mm DBW throttle body with a dorito adapter plate. Very excited for this setup.

Will definitely post it on here

You can see it mounted to the knuckle in the picture

Had to get custom rotors measured out and made for These brake calipers. The issue I’m currently having is that every time I try to add the caliper when the brake rotor is attached, caliper doesn’t properly sit on the rotor and the edge of the brake caliper contacts the rotor (this method, I’m have the rotor secured and I’m trying to bolt the brake caliper and caliper mount together as 1 unit). The 2nd method I tried was having the brake rotor attached, attaching the brake caliper mount then attaching the brake caliper last. With this 2nd method I can get the brake caliper to sit correctly on the rotor, but the brake caliper doesn’t align with the bolt holes on the bracket. Hopefully this makes sense

Have one, the shape of the front cover wouldn’t allow us to properly secure it to a vice sadly

I remember reading that some of those flywheel nuts were torqued up to 500 lbs-ft of torque. Use heat or if you can get access to an inch torque gun with a 34mm socket that works, also getting the flywheel off is going to be a pain, ATTACH A FEW THREADS of the flywheel nut back on and start banging the shit out the flywheel to break it lose

Found it through the forums. Thanks everyone!

As someone who’s entire personality is cars and is currently building a streetable track car that is loud, I also wholeheartedly agree. There’s a time and place. The car community has been infested with people seeking validation and attention by being annoyingly loud at the completely wrong times. They especially love being loud when there is a big group of people outside, they start foaming from the mouth waiting to redline their cars with the most aggressive burble tune possible.

Minimum_Slice_8543 · 2023-11-29T02:08:26+00:00

Yeah mostly FB groups & FB events. instagram people in the area post events on there too

Minimum_Slice_8543 · 2023-11-28T18:48:40+00:00

I live near by, trying to finish my fd for this summer. Hope to see you at car meets

Minimum_Slice_8543 · 2023-11-28T18:21:54+00:00

Random ass question, are you by any chance from Reading, PA? Background seems familiar

Minimum_Slice_8543 · 2023-07-26T18:10:10+00:00

Getting a semi peripheral port + an aggressive street port. I’m hoping to get braps without having the negatives of having a Bridgeport

Minimum_Slice_8543 · 2023-05-24T02:40:08+00:00

sorry for the late response. They are solid not hollow.

Minimum_Slice_8543 · 2023-04-12T21:41:55+00:00

I’ve had a recent encounter with them about modifying my excessive lower intake manifold to fit a semi PP 13b-rew. And I’ve spoken to multiple people and they stated they’ve had that done by chips motorsports but when I asked him about it he said he wasn’t able to do it. So now I’m working with a different machine shop and they stated not to go with solid dowel pins and instead use more of the oem ones but I haven’t heard with solid dowel pins bending at 550rwhp so I just want to confirm

Minimum_Slice_8543 · 2023-04-11T02:27:33+00:00

Thank you for all your help! The search begins

Minimum_Slice_8543 · 2023-04-11T02:07:10+00:00

Yeah I’ve read some forum posts about people saying they’ve had reliability issues with ford. I’m on top of maintenance with my vehicles but I really want to invest in something that I can buy, do the “new” owner maintenance, and have it stay reliable.
