My sister thought that my dad was a monster until the day he died. Then told everyone on how great he was after he died.

Family feels so distant to me now that I'll maybe only shed a tear when my dog dies. The rest can drop dead and I might be caught at a bar celebrating. I have Susan and that's all I need to be happy.

It dont look big in the pic but this bird was gigantic. 29 pounder

Since all the experts hang out on this thread (and I sincerely mean that), I have a question about the quaife diff. When installed in a non base model, the passenger side stub axle has to be cut (modified). I found a thread on here where one guy was having problems with his modified passenger side stub axle popping out.

How do you guys think the car would react if the passenger side stub axle popped out at high speed and under boosted power?

With a Quaife, you would loose all the go. It would be like lifting one tire on the rear. You can buy the correct stub axle from Z1 if you need one.

I'm just wondering if that's what could have caused my car to immediately go into a spin when I was doing the third gear pull. The guy I sold the quaife to has had the passenger side stub axle pop out twice on him.

Here's a pic of my stock VLSD axle stubs and the modded Z1 axle stub. The OS Giken has to use the modded stub too. You can see that the snap ring location is different between the left and right sides also.

On my Quaife unit for the base auto 3.357 diff (non vlsd-open) both of my stub shafts are identical

With the base open diff there are no modifications needed to the stub shafts, only the vlsd model.

I have a VLSD in the Sport Touring Z, everything is still put together...so I don’t have a clue what it’s like....still the same gear ratio.
Madwi’s 3.692 Sport VLSD had 2-different length shafts

Spoiler’s Rant Time
——————————-

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I can now tell you what I’m NOT thankful for...

Yesterday I got up and looked in the mirror and my freakin mustache was gone...

No shid, after hanging in there for the last fuggin 45 days of radiation, the sum bidge falls off with only 5 days left to go...

Pretty sad, considering I had a mustache since I was in the 8th grade.

Yup, he and I have been a lot of fun places together over the years and now he’s gone... (Oh the stories we could tell...

. ).

When we were younger, he and I would go out drinking and I certainly got him in some interesting situations. I never got the chance to tell him how much I appreciated him. I just know that when he and I were in the thick of things he always had my back.

It will certainly be difficult to redo all the memories I had with him. I truly will never forget him

Here’s a picture of us when we younger. (Circa 1979) It is painful now just to look at how we were back then.

He was so young and full of pizz and vinegar

Hopefully he will grow back in a few months. Maybe he will come back as a blonde as I always heard “blondes have more fun” anyhow.

Okay.. Rant over.... I guess I feel better

When my first wife was going through chemo. She lost ALL body hair after the second chemo. She never had to shave again. RIP.
