stinky Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Here's a video from last weekend out behind redbank plains. There's a play area just in from the brentwood estate entrance ( obviously this location will mean nothing to 99.9% of viewers), The rock was steep enough that there was only one spot to approach it from that the bullbar wouldn't hit and stop me from even trying. I wouldn't have even bothered attempting it on a carb'd engine as it was way too steep and a carby wouldn't get any fuel. with the EJ18 though it didn't miss a beat. Listen for the Diff breaking during the second ( was actually fourth, but only recorded last 2 ) climb. At first I thought it was just a stubb-axel but the stubb is still attached but rotates freely, I'd guess I've broken something inside the diff, probably at one of the weld points.

stinky Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 Yeah, I did it twice before we even got the video camera out ... I shoulda stopped after the third time As for the reverse, when I did the 5spd dualrange swap I accidently hooked the reverse/4wd lights up backwards ... so anyone behine me knows when I'm in 4wd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryanb Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Is that a welded rear diff or open? Very nice. Way to rep the sedan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinky Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 welded ... open diff wouldn't have had a chance. You can see what happens the second time up when one of the axels breaks ... dropping it down to the equivalent of an open diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
