Its all in the past

So i thought i would post something about the weekend before last

we went to the only local curse / meet near us "lakeside" when we got there we met up with some people at a place called "ferry lane" and they took us to meet some other people at a spot called "roundabout" so you can guess what they do there. Any way just as iam about to leave i thought why not have a go...... big mistake as i clutch kicked hard and only one wheal spun up....i have a welded diff

so i drive the 40 min drive home on one wheal drive and went to bed, got up next day thinking its not to bad must be a drive shaft or a cv joint it wont take more that 20 min to fix. jacked the car up and turned a wheal to see what was wrong and shit a brick. the drive shaft was ok, so were both cv joints the diff was fucked

so i started to strip one side of the diff, first took off the drive shaft, then the bolt holding the output shaft on. the 13mm bolt sheared the moment i started to turn it and i went pale very pale. i slid the bolt out and the last 2-3 threads had broke off. i used screw driver to pull the output shaft out and this is what i found.

i had sheard the output shaft in half the shaft is about the thickness of a 50p coin. now i hae spair parts that was not a big deal but now i had the end of a output shaft stuck in the diff.

so after puling the hole dam diff apart and taking the hole cage to a engineering chap i know he was able to pule it out and re cut and thred the 13mm bolt all for £20 and a 4 pack of bear

so last weekend after spending a week with out the car i put the diff back together and with abit of luck will never have to do it again

dam never heard of the them going ever
i guess its a 360 as a 340 prop would let go before the output shaft haha
what engine are you running

 

[Wolfpack]

Its not a 360 or a 340 is a mash-up of both the engine is a 2l injected the prop, gearbox, diff and drive shafts are from a 360 i would have hoped a drive shaft would brake be for a diff output shaft but hay

Old photos

Some old photos i have laying about

the old man welding up the 340 diff that we change for the 360 and the 2l engine about 6 weeks latter

the intake pipe on the 2l its 68mm wide with a cheep large cone filter on it had a adjust the fuel mixture a lot after but it got so much more low end power and pick up now

snapped a 340 drive shaft / exploded the cv joint in about a day so swapped the hole back end with the 360 parts

then got some new weller 8j ET -10 13" rims and some 175-70-13 tyrs

changed the fronts to 165-65-13 will do the back when they get bald

[emo140990]

do you think you can run 10j wellers with 175/60/13's

 

[Wolfpack]

do you think you can run 10j wellers with 175/60/13's

its not about if you can do it more about is it rely worth it ? its gona take some work to get them on and thay may just fall off / spin the rim inside the tyer.

try some thing like 185/60/13

 

[emo140990]

do you think 10mm will do it then or would i be better of reforming them and trying to 175 for the fun of it? have you ever crashed snow drifting wolfpack my friend has in his 360 i think maybe a 340 tho

10mm would do it tbh maybe get a lower profile if you can but 185/60 should be ok
