Keep up the good work. Been thinking about sending my TFS heads to Lloyd.

New wheels and tires are in. Took some serious pounding with the BFH mod to get them to fit but it was well worth it.
Went to the junkyard today in search of brakes for my 9" and some spare PCMs. I found one PCM but no brakes so I have to take another trip elsewhere sometime next week, probably Thursday. Those LS1 brakes are the only things stopping me from throwing this rear under my car.96Z M6, ERE-383 #60, AFR 210s, LE cam, 9", Procharger D1, ???whp

looks fantastic man... I run the same wheels. Guess it goes to show even the same car... can be different. Mine did not take 2 much... but then again i run .50 spacers with longer wheel studs.

Thanks guys!
I probably had to do a little more pounding than most people because I went with a pretty thick tire on the back. Most people will run a 295 or 305 width with 30 sidewall to keep the diameter close to stock. I went with a Toyo Proxes TQ 315/35r18 drag radial that's about an inch taller (almost 27") and it looks mean! It's got some bulge to it but not too much.

Guess what I picked up!
brakes_zpsbdb4548b.jpg
I found a guy up by Allentown with the brakes I needed for a decent price. I could have gotten them cheaper at a u-pull-it yard but the price of gas completely negates any money saved typically. Picked them up on Friday, definitely worth it. Time is money and I'm lacking both with OCMD coming up. I also ordered my PST driveshaft from Brute Speed. Should be coming in very soon so this rear can be in. These are the final steps of the 9" install. I already pressed the axle bearing onto one axle but the other was too long to work in my press. I'll have to get a shop to do it for me.
The trans in my friend's Roadmaster took a dump on him when going to pick the brakes up. The ultimate goal was a T56 swap but I guess that will be happening sooner than later. Good thing I have a spare. Stay tuned.Last edited by Catmaigne; 04-13-2014 at 03:13 AM.

Today was supposed to be assembly day but I ran into a few snags. The rain never let up and my packages still aren't here. Rock Auto was supposed to ship my e-brake cables last friday via Priority mail but they've been slacking. They left the warehouse via Fedex ground last night and I'm pissed. My PST aluminum driveshaft is still MIA. Haven't received a tracking number yet despite ordering it about a week ago... I gave Bob a call but still don't have any info on that one. The wait continues.
It's not all bad news. My friend offered to buy me some needed parts for my build in exchange for one of my T56s and my current OEM style clutch setup. We both knew his A4 was on the way out and I told him not to break it before OCMD... He didn't listen and now I have to cobble his car together in addition to mine. I'm getting some cash for labor, a Mcleod SFI bellhousing, Spec billet flywheel, and a Spec Stage 3+ out of it. I figured when the rear comes out I'll pull the trans too. I didn't plan on doing any of this stuff for a while but it all just fell in my lap not that long ago. Getting built faster than I expected
He really did screw me in one way. I have a 6-speed as a core for a build up w/viper mainshaft in addition to the one that's already in my car. The plan was to build the extra trans and swap it in when the time comes for as little downtime as possible. Unless I find another trans there's no way that can happen now.

It's almost all here.

Here's the pattern I settled on. I think it looks pretty good and centered root to top. Couldn't get it any better than this even with fine tuning about 1-1.5 thousandth at a time.Last edited by Catmaigne; 04-15-2014 at 05:28 PM.
