I agree.. he came in here to post "thanks for nothing" and hasnt came back yet. I'd like to hear what he has to say in this public forum.

 

guess that means you're not coming on sat? good luck dude

 

I'm requesting more info...this is for everyone in this thread who has said the "gears" have failed...did the gear itself break or become deformed or did the other workings of the pumpkin fail as a result of the "gears" under your belief...especially interested in the 4.77 at the track failure

 

Nope, wife and I are taking the RS4 to Chicago this weekend...

 

My 2 cents
I have had a Comptech rear with 4.57 gears and, now have the same only now 4.56 gears. I can tell you that the gears did not brake and the reinforcement by Comptech did not brake. What broke was your stock LSD, this is what failed in my 4.57 setup. After a few wheel bounce episodes the LSD will fail it can not take that kind of stress.
In HardTopGuys defense people don

 

I have the Comptech reinforced pumpkin. Still in one piece. Car still kind of runs (for now) but not taking chances. So I'm assuming the "thumping" is a tooth broken off a gear. We'll see after opening it up.

 

Pending final diagnosis

 

Isn't it sourced from a Miata? The right thing to do was for Honda to have put in a stronger diff in the 1st place.

Every car has a weak link though. Unforunately for us, it's the diff.

 

That is completely innacurate. HTG has NOT posted in this thread, never posted "thanks for nothing" (nor did anyone else), and we don't even know if he is aware of the thread.

 

Got them mixed up with RickS2k?
