dave 316 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 First sunny day after the detail by Peter (jerseygator). not great pics though. Did the JLT res delete, Redline hood struts, Bobs O/S both sides, and the Bob's billet lca's. After about 50 miles of driving after install, i didn't notice and added noise, but i may be lucky. No gear whine with this car either. Just svt13 whine! LOL LOL!! enjoy the picshttp://imageshack.us/a/img716/2233/38312388.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The image software usually has a link that you copy and paste. But you also may be right. Funny things are going on with this new Christmas format...

dave 316 Posted December 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 A brief review of the mods. Bob's Billet Lower Control Arms- very stout piece. The design looks right at home on the car, and the black finish slightly gets noticed, but appears OEM at the same time. Install was simple, fit and finish was perfect. Didn't notice any noises or negative effects at all. Being only in the very low 50's outside, I can't say at this point if it is helping with traction or not. Really well made piece,customer service second to none. Bob's Oil Separators- Again, fit and finish is perfect. piano black looks like it came from the factory that way. I used black braided line, and black earls fittings to retain an OEM look. Great instructions, and again Bob's service is second to none. Redline Hood Struts- I gave JLT a call and ordered these painted in Race Red again for an OEM appearance. This did not disappoint. The paint matched perfect. There are instructions with colored pictures. This mod was as easy as putting gas in the car. The hardest part was taping the factory fender bolts so the paint didn't chip on removal. These went on in a snap, and you are able to ditch that unsightly prop rod for good. Install looks factory, and works as advertised. JLT Resonator Delete- On this one, I wasn't sure if I should go with the FRPP res delete or this one. Again I was after an OEM look. After much thought, the clean look of the JLT carbon fiber piece won me over, but to keep a toned down look I rotated the rubber couplers to the bottom so the "JLT" logo was hidden. I paid full price for the piece, so no sense in advertising the logo. Install again was simple. The hoses hooked into the factory locations with no effort at all. Even with the stock filter in place, the supercharger is a lot louder. Perfect for the smile factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave 316 Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 ok, so it has been a few weeks. I must say, i don't know if it it because of a late build(oct23), but this car has no gear whine/clunk/or clutch smell. It could be i'm used to a high grabbing race clutch from my drag car, or maybe this one just grabs in the right spot. i was so worried when i read the other posts regarding these issues. time will tell if anything develops, but right now im in heaven with no issues other than the smile i have wont go away.

dave 316 Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 it may be normal, i'm just saying that i don't have it. also from what im hearing it seems people are not used to the way it grabs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svt13 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 The gear whine, backlash issue, if you have comes later. The problem is caused from the side bearings getting cut in from improper install or some other unknown reason. Then little by little it meses with the ring and pinion bearings then backlash then gear whine. So if you are going to get it, it will happen within 2k miles. The other thing is the front squeak could happen anytime so be mindful of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
