Kenny, looks like I'm not going to make it to the track either. All projects for my car are done, except the cabs. The center tubes to one of them is not big enough for the bolt to pass through. I'm going to overnight the ones OTTP has and hopefully finish that problem Tuesday. Also, a new problem has arised. Driver's side axle is shot. Need to order new axles. I'm thinking the gmp upgraded axles. Hopefully I can get them before Saturday so that I can install them Saturday afternoon. Most likely won't happen until Sunday though.

Ouch, just can't win!

Joe 3 and Cesar both have HE's to install, and I'm going to revamp mine and go over everything with my recent issue. I'm also going to take the time to trash the factory one, and re-plumb mine.

..and hey, you have an HE to install also now, join our party. Maybe with 4 people we can get something done. Good point, trashing it was just used in anger of having to work on my car again. I just want to drive it for a month solid and enjoy summer. I'll get over it. Hell I've been staring @ Joe's 3 parts pile wanting to take his **** apart and begin.

Yeah, I'm pissed, but sorta expected them to crap out. Danew had problems with his, and the tech that did my tranny under warranty said the passenger side popped out of the intermediate shaft during the test drive after putting the new tranny in. It was only a matter of time. I had to go cheap and hope the OTTP stage 1 axles hold up for a while. Since I'm not using slicks anymore I hope they won't break at the track.

The name escapes me, but there is one in Portsmouth at the corner of Effingham and High. They have a really good reputation for quality work.

Jokes, but hey.

As for OTTP, meh, personal opinion. Glad they changed your mind. Once you lie to me, as they did, as they also did Kenny, you're not worth my time nor dollars.

Danew has recently had his LSJ sleeved, I'd say he'd be the person to ask.

Problem for me was only OTTP had the cabs and cheapest upgraded axles available. It is what it is.
