broken parts and new life for Terminator

[yzingerslinger]

I have recently replaced many parts on my Cobra and thought I would share my experience.

First I broke the stock 10 spline.


While running the Spec stage 3 the clamp load from the pressure plate was just to extreme to hold 640tq.


So I decided to go with a Mcleod RXT which was a great option and price. I bought a 26 spline input shaft and the clutch from Tony at Astro Performance, heck of a guy. He had me setup with the spline and bearings and shim kit for less than Lethal Perf. Highly recommend those guys at Astro.


While tightening the drive shaft I found a upper control arm destroyed !


I ditched the junk SVES and bought a new set of UPRs.

The UPRs are constructed very well and installed with ease.

Check out how stretched these are !


Now the silver back is on the road and reeling in quality GO-PRO kills once again !


Lots of new goodies to install next, complete return setup and the NX kit. Going to hit it with a 100 dry and see what breaks next.

Thanks for stopping by and reading.

UPR had the best built product for my application. The material was 2x as thick as the SVEs and the welds were more precise. Definitely a better product as far as the control arms.

The UPRs have a 1/4" carbon material as opposed to the 1/8" carbon on the SVEs

on control arms, get a longer bolt and double nut them. It allows movement instead of being squished tight

The previous owner had taken it to the track ALOT. Every drivetrain component is new and all suspension is new. The car has 85 on it now but you couldn't tell looking at it or under it.

Thanks bud. It really cleans up with a few hours of hands on cleaning.


Still cleaning at the moment. Don't mind the stack of rags. Or the MT dew

Good idea, I will swap em out. It's creaks sometimes while making turns now and again. It's so annoying when I'm rolling up somewhere.

I have a full UPR set now. The lowers were UPR when I bought the car.
