Re: My New Time Attack Car Build Thread
So I worked on the car a little tonight. I was trying to press in my solid bushings but I left one of them a little tight
I was worried about cracking the housing so I decided to press it back out. The only problem I had was I didn't have a drift/socket big enough to press the bushing out so I had to improvise. Even though it looks crude, it only took 3 min to make and it worked great. The other pictures are of the reinforcements I made to the cover, I created a small crack when trying to install the bushings the first time around so I decided to not only grind out and repair the crack but to go ahead and reinforce both wings and add some lateral bracing as well for good measure since this will be seeing twice the stock hp. I cut some plates at the shop and got Scott to weld them on this afternoon. The lateral braces will add a small amount of additional surface area to aid in cooling. It's probably a negligible amount though. More bushings tomorrow, I'll be glad when these are done
