Keep going guys, you're doing great. At over 40 years of modding and rebuilding cars its easy to forget we all started in a driveway somewhere with nothing more than hand tools and enthusiasm.

🇬🇧🇨🇦🇺🇲 The higher the ratio is (411 vs 395 gear) the quicker off the line you'll be but your top speed will be lowered. Hence this all depends on your Max RPM and torque band. This is where a Dynomax test comes in. Let me know if this makes sense.<br> I truly love your channel.<br>Travis from Vermont U.S.A

You need to put the 4.11 gears back in the vehicle. That will provide a much better 1/4 mile time. You also need a tachometer with a red light shift indicator. This will help greatly when you are changing gears. I couldn't hear the v-tec coming On in the car. Another suggestion is to have an exhaust delete for track days, to enable you to run a straight pipe on race days. I'm not sure how you would prefer to Run your engine. If you choose to stay na then it will cost heaps to get the engine to the point where it will run 10 seconds. Personally, I would look at different videos on here or look at forum pages on the best way to modify your engine with a turbocharger. I think that is your cheapest option.

Massive props for replacing a diff centre at home. I've been messing with cars for 30 years and I'd still pussy out and take it to a diff shop. For 10 second quarter, brain dump. Put a turbo on, 3 inch exhaust, Direct port water meth injection (aquamist UK), intercooler, light weight bucket seat for driver, remove passenger seat (those seats are heavy). Better rear suspension.

Did you measure backlash between crownwheel & pinion?

If u intend to keep the leaf spring set up fit some slapper bars, or caltrax, some sticky rubber and mess about with tyre pressure, maybe look at a rear shock for adjustable rebond, keep up the good work hopefully see you at pod 👍
