Just got all new diff today for the 8.8 Thunderbird IRS.
And Changed from 3.2 to 3.7, and it's bloody AWESOME.
The old "reconditioned" one was not healthy at all.....should've used Brand New from the start.....it was about the only "used" bit on the whole car when it was built...and I always felt I was going to regret it....I was right.
New one is as Smooth as silk, and sixth gear at 110 k.p.h. Is around 2,000 rpm.....just hummin'.
Fixing/ replacing the diff was a bit last minute...but the Nationals road trip/drags/sprints had used up what ever life the old diff had.
Mad panic over the last few days waiting for all the new bits to arrive, picked it up in Brisbane as soon as they finished it today (12 o'clock )....
Back to Scott Hampsons place....put the whole arse end back together...
take it for a 20 Klm's test run...( Brilliant)
Go and get the trailer organised, load and back to Gold Coast...so I can START getting my $hit together for a week on the road.
Packing at the moment,as we are off to the "COOMA Summit To Surf" run at 8.00 am tomorrow.
Really been looking forward to this...and...touch wood...the weather looks tops.
(Don't ya just LOVE trying to pack for two people for a week on the road...and getting it to fit in the Cobra?)
The tip is lots of "little" bags...and then it sort of goes together like a big puzzle...and then the last bit is standing there trying to fill any "gaps" with shoes.
Should be great......
What could go wrong....right??!
Cheers,
Warren
