It only took me about 20 min. And that includes removing the wheel, caliper, ebrake line, upper control arm, and axle nut. Just needed to pop a pry bar in between the diff and cup and a gentle push and it came right out.

mine was nothing to get to, i think i just had to disconnect the control arm, it was just stuck

I ended up putting a slide hammer weight on some allthread threaded into some vice grips lol

Probably the last one of the season.

Didn't hit the track last night. They were requiring drag tires only. No street tires. Pain in the ass track if you ask me. Guess I'll have to wait until next year.

Almost done with the season of driving it. Maybe a couple of weeks left.

I'll do an oil change in the spring but wondering if there is anything else I can do to it during the winter.

Unless I pick up wider fenders and better seats, I'm not sure if there is much to do at this point.

Is your car set up to run E85? I can't remember. Maybe look into doing the sensor setup to enable that if you don't have it already?
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

I live at the right dot and work at the left dot. There’s 2 stations in the town I work in that aren’t on that map for some reason.

There is 1 by me. Maybe when I get my cam, torque converter, etc done I'll have them set me up for it. But that won't be for another year or two. Expensive.

It would be the btr cam, cam kit, btr top end rebuild, rocker arms, smaller pulley, flex fuel kit, circle d converter, etc. Then retune the engine and transmission. Would put me to over reliable 700rwhp but would cost about $12k after paying for the labor and everything.
