Thanks Matt

Thanks Miguel

 

Looks good Kyle. Can't wait to see the finished product

 

Looks great Kyle. Are you still leaning toward the 66mm turbo?

 

Thanks Nesar. I'm installing the new rear this coming weekend!

Thanks Bryan. The 66mm is still the front runner.

 

Really looking great, Kyle.

BTW make sure the car is on the ground with its tires just remove the wheel cap to access the axle nut then crank it with your power tools, it should come off easy that way. Believe me I know, trying to remove the axle nut with wheels off and on jack stand will not work.

 

Guys steel is steel when it comes to weight/density.
The only reason 4130 ends up lighter when building a cage is because of its increased strength properties, sanctioning bodies allow a smaller diameter or thinner wall to be used when compared to mild steel which ends up lighter.

 

Lol!

 

Thanks Ron. Regarding the axle nut, I'm using an impact gun, so it won't spin the tires (even with them up in the air).

 

While correct, you pretty much restated what I posted above

 

Understood but believe me it will work better with the full weight of the car on the ground. It might work better with breaker bar and pipe combo. Same thing happen to me before. I broke a 3/4 breaker bar and and very powerful impact gun with the axle suspended but when I dropped it down with wheels on a quick yank with a breaker bar did it.

I think when axle is jacked up it flexes when trying loosen the nut with impact or breaker bar. Try it and it might work.

Good luck.
