Hey all,
I am about to build up two IRS diffs to use in modified and save my plastic diffs for stock. What I need to know is-I have the old grey DIFF gears , but my car has the White crown gears.
Can I mix the two gears or do i need to change the bevel gears out now too?
I currently dont own any grey crown gears.
Thanks,
Ray

White Plastic Gears
Ray,
The white plastic gears have a high percentage of fiber in them. I finished a design project where I used a material that looked just like the white gears and it was 43% fiberglass! The gray gears have a lesser % fiberglass in them. I got to imagine that the fiberglass is there to give the gear set more life.

TC3 Droop on Carpet
I'm new to carpet. I guy at the local indoor track whic is smooth carpet told me to remove the droop from my car. Originally I set the droop to what was specified in the manual. Then I set the ride height. Then this guys said to remove the droop, so I ran the droop screws down until they just touched the chassis. How worng is this or does this sound acceptable?
Thanks,
John
Thanks,
John

Removing Droop
Take a look at the posting about 4 up from this by Mike D, a very fast guy. He is running 4.5mm ride height and then he has enough droop to raise the car an additional 4mm. I can raise my car an additional 2mm with a 5mm ride height, but I'm thinking about adding more droop.

Making the mod, I think you mean making the chassis accept the NTC3 steering. For that you have to cut out the existing chassis flat to accept the steering system.
