New Spider Drive Shaft.

[travelers]

I ordered a new Spider D/S on sunday nite and received it on wed. Just installed it this afternoon. Really nice d/s all the parts needed to replace it. good instructions. Quality item. No vibration.

No idea...i'm completely pissed about the whole situation. To make matters worse, the first 1/8th inch on the edge is losing its clear coat from belle tire mounting the tires. Basically I pissed away $1600 and probably can't even sell them. I'm going to sell the axis if I can find someone that wants to buy them. I've been trying to contact axis about the clear coat to see if they have had any issues....can't get ahold of them to save my ass. Figure i'll ask $1100 obo...I'd like to get a grand for them, even then i'm losing $600 and they only have 300 miles on them.:beat:

Thanks man, i'll see how much it will cost to get the clearcoat redone, then sell them. I have 20" chrome saleens coming next week. I sent a couple more people your way for d/s from another site.

Just ordered mine! Got a new Steeda CAI a few days ago as well, and I am going to take all this stuff up to HPP and let them have at it again!

I'm going to have HPP do me two new tunes with the new CAI. One for pump gas, and maybe one for Sunoco 260 GT 100 Octane (AKI) race fuel as well! If I can get the shit here in town. Otherwise, it will be a 2nd tune for a tank of panther piss.

I have the 3.8" pulley on that I got from cheftjpeck and I think that will do it. I should be in the 400RWHP club with some to spare afterwards!

Yeah, I know Hawg is gonna call me a pussy for not going with the 3.6 pulley!

Did you have to do any drilling or is the CHE a bolt in using existing holes? I want to put one in but not drilling holes if possabable.

Drilling required with the CHE kit - from having spent quite a bit of time in the trans tunnel this past month, I'd say you aren't going to avoid it with any loop that actually puts the loop in the right place...

I had my local shop do the D/S install and loop...He told me he had to tweak the loop to make it work...He didnt really say what he had to do...I trust this guy in that I didnt feel I needed to ask any further questions on the loop install...Im not sure bud but It shouldnt need much to make it right.
But to answer your question..it does use existing bolts no drilling required so CHE says

i was looking at BMR's design and just wonder if that is legal?? i think NHRA says it has to be bolted with no less than 4 bolts to the floor or frame. it looks like theirs only has 2 bolts right? i'll look at the rule book again later and see what it says again. but i think if i use that one i'll still drill a couple extra holes for some grade8 bolts.

Even with drilling the holes, the CHE loop install was smooth and easy. The loop is perfectly placed and if installed per the directions the holes are completely hidden.
