tried my overdrive diffs today, and it worked out great!!
with 15-15-7 in the diff i really got lots of power and punch.

still lacking a bit of low speed steering, i know i have to drive a bit differnt than without the overdrive but still.

any one?

Try going down to 5k in rear diff. Thinner will help car rotate better at low speed.

Integra, if you like teh Venom, you will go nuts over this stuff, its tough as woodpecker lips

5$ for a couple feet or 20$ for 50'

As good as it may be...the price is a little high for my likings.

Prather fuel tubing was the best I ever used...None of the stuff available now holds a candle to it...I have not used the Fiorini tubing though, and probably won't due to the cost.

Ive Never once had the Venom Crack, Degrade, or any pin hole of any sort....I only replace my pressure Lines when they are no longer able to be cleaned of the burnt on Exhaust residue on the inside....and for the price you Cant go wrong.

Since when did Panther Make fuel tubing ? ? ? or wait...what's Prather ?

he he...
way too thick shock oils for my liking, and our tracks are a bit on the bumpy side so thick oil will make the car bounce all over the place.

as for the rest of the setup, maybe ill give it a try.
does the ackerman position matter all that much?
or are they just minor changes?
see the ackerman is in the forward position.
just playing with the setup this summer

id say start with 45 40 wt shock oils. with 24-25mm ride height
oils are slightly higher then normal due to the shocks being leaned over
softer initial dampening. also makes the car more forgiving.

as for the the ackerman position. i have only ever ran in the front position.
rearward holes for quicker steering response

This is the best mount you can get if Dave still has some left.

A friend of mine just bought an MBX6 and we would like to know a few more details on the overdrive thing.
What are the part numbers that match and where do we install it in the rear or up front.

We did the math and if we install the 42T/12T in the rear it actually overdrives the rear since the front is 44T/9T...meaning it will turn faster than the front...won't this cause oversteer.

Xray uses the same principle 41T instead of 43T but puts it up front...thus turning the front faster to pull the car forward and not oversteer.
