    I just tore my ZF 4hp22 apart on Saturday. Wow, what a bunch of dark magic that thing is. anyways I have individual trans parts if you ever need them such as clutch plates, output yoke, etc.

      I've done much more than 50 donuts:) I do like 10 a day.

          So be it. Car & Driver only gets a week with a car for testing, so we shalt adjust the test to seventy donuts.

            Going to have to add a spring pad to each rear spring, when my car hooks up and squats my fenders end up destroying my tires. My fenders are almost rolled flat but I'm guessing the tires flexes outward just enough to make contact and start cutting slits into the tires. H&R race was more than stiff enough before the turbo build.

              Just to let you know, on my similar setup the stock hg with metric blues let go yesterday at 17psi :(. Tons of fun while it lasted destroyed an e36 m3 and I'm on stock motronic.


              Free plug for your mudflaps as well. :up:

                      so car is running pretty good now, Cleaned the TPS and things seem 10x better, I think my AFR gauge needs to be recalibrate because it says I'm cruising around and boosting around 9-10AFr but the car is running excellent. I did reset the battery so maybe it lost calibration, before when my car would hit 10 or 9 AFR due to ignition cut/spark blow out it would bog horribly. Got a new lap top today so I will start some serious tuning and hope it works.

                        Car is fixed, no stutter at all, doesnt run uber rich anymore and pulls excellent. moved my rev limit up to 6500(if I get wheelspin it hits it) and adjusted fuel maps and now its super nice.

                          I examined my leak and did some thinking and I'm starting to think this new leak is the oil pan either I cracked it or a bad gasket. The car was off all night when it leaked, If my thinking is correct the rear main seal is above the oil level when the car is off, therefore it couldn't of been the rear main seal leaking all night? Is my idea flawed?
                          You may be correct I'm not or sure about the m20 but the twin turbo dodge stealth I had had a bad FRONT main seal (yes I know your talking about rear) and it would leak how you described (1 quart within minutes) but only when the engine was running.
                          Nice build. I bet with that auto the car is neck snapping off the line :)

                            that was already fixed awhile ago, it was the oil pan/ The auto makes this thing an excellent drag car it honestly amazes me what it can do in a straight line.
