'93 VR4 State of the Union

Fixed the dyno vid and dyno graph in the last post.

I can't seem to find the FWD burnout vids, lol.

I think you're looking for this one. Back story: broke the t-case the week before at the track, so I removed the driveshaft and used my welded center diff to make the car FWD. I raced that mildly modified 600 and got yanked because I roasted the front tires at the top of 2nd. I didn't stop his pull until I was in boost in 3rd, which took a while thanks to having to shift out of 2nd. The other, trailing bike, was an '09 600 gsxr if I recall. I raced the gsxr again a few weeks later and pulled on him. The EVO is the shop car of a local t00ner, MZM.

Adam you had the old style fibrous syncros in your 3rd gear. They suck

Re-he-heally... Any comparison pictures? It came out of a '92 with ~60k and looks perfect.

luckily Mr. Jack has an article on it:

Jacks Transmissions LLC — Synchro Types

The only way you can tell syncro wear is to push a new one on the gear,measure the gap between the syncro and the gear with a feeler gauge, then compare to new.

I also noticed you can go by feel. A gear with a worn syncro will be easily to turn while pressing down on the syncro in your hand. A good syncro will be almost impossible to turn the gear.

So before the Texas Gathering begins on Friday, I need to restrain my shoulder harnesses.

I couldn't find a spec, so I used 5/16" steel rod to quickly make these (driver's side shoulder straps are much wider than the passenger side):

As she sat in the garage...



I reinstalled the windshield wipers, dashpot, and cleaned the engine bay. The entire rest of the car is still covered in dirt and oil.
