I swaped out a rear end on a fox body.
Why didn't GM just do that for us? Would make life much easier.

Don;t be silly.. ricers do not posses the mental capacity to allow them to suck... all they can do is make funny noises while trying to suck. Point in case, a very very large man (well, maybe 25) came into the shop with a old civic hatchback ( I remember him a few months before with another civic that he blew up) anyway, he got a fart can for us to put on for him. then he told us that he wanted to run 3 inch exhaust pipe all the way back to it. When I asked him why he said cause it will flow more air. When I asked him where this "more air" was going to come from he said, a cold air kit. When I tried to explain the concept of engine displament in relation to exhaust volume he got confused, then pissy, then angry, then left. They last thing I told him as he left was, Think about WHY exactly such small motors have such small exhaust pipes from teh factory.. aparently he wanted to lose what little TQ we had in that car with bigger exhaust.. ahh the memories

I'll internet slap you later. If I was gonna slap a ford rear in my car it would be a moser 9 inch, but thats overkill... for now *hint hint* I should be good with the 12 bolt. if I break it my car will be no longer streetable anyway so i'll put a locker or spool in it.

don;t ask.. I ran once when I was stock.. still wasn;t used to the Louisiana weather so I had the AC on the hole 1 hour trip to the track. I didn;t give the inside temp of the car enough time to equalize and so I got about halfway through first gear and the entire windsheild went *poof* and compleatly foged up. I was damned if I was gonna have my first 1/4 be a 17 second run so I sayed in it. came close to the wall and corrected. searched for the line and thought I crosed it but never did so I let off before the line. ended up with a 14.6 [:@]



EDIT: Once I get my clutch in, driveshaft cut and some Drag radials I'm going back
