P.S I was just reading on another forum themanwhocannotbenamed has a 4spd powerglide ??? and is racing very shortly...

AFF! Something like powerglide internals in his BTR or something?? Farked if I know...

Did they take 2 gears out of his 4speed

From a xr6 tornado to a 4spd powerglide.. Why does he always put 2 different things together..

He is retarded. Bayswater automatics are still doing his box, and throughout his various power levels, he ALWAYS manages to burn out his c1 clutch (the clutch that applies in 3rd gear, and stays on for 4th).

Its funny that even with less power than other cars, he still manages to burns it out.

What Phil is attempting to do is machine the c1 drum and with some custom wizardry put in a powerglide hub, and powerglide frictions.

The goal of this is to fit 7 or 8 frictions, over the original 5 (or 6), which already have a larger surface area than the normal BTR.

Result being approx 40% more capacity, and it will tollerate slippage more (like a ZF does in comparison)

Downside .... I can see a snapped intermediate shaft in the near future...

As for the word powerglide making it sound bulletproof, pffft. its only got powerglide spec frictions, on a powerglide hub..

Does it increase the strength? No.

Does it increase the slip capacity of 3rd gear, and the slipping its currently being given.. Yes.

Im sure playing with the tuneup, torque figures, shift ramps, and shift presures would fix his problem... But you'd have to know whats going on to fix that.

Hey FKMF6,are you the original owner of the white BF F6 from a couple years back?

Yes he is

JETFPV what are u doing with the rear end on the Capri?

Complete new rear end basically mate...

It is getting fully engineered for all this and the engine conversion so it is fairly costly, but minitub's and rear leaf spring's moved in board, brand new 9 inch moly housing or possibly a sheetmetal housing (undecided yet), strange or romac full floater's, strange or romac floating 35 spline billet axles, brand new ventilated disc brake rear kit with inbuilt handbrake, strange nodular iron centre, 35 spline moser true track centre, strange double adjustable alloy shocker's, braided brake line's, handbrake etc made to suit, 15x10's either Alumastar's which I have already or possibly Convo's again in 15x10, slick size will be 28x11.5x15's and for street 325/50/15 ET Street's...Beleive it or not im also having ABS fitted while it's in there which run's no booster, just a master on firewall and a little pump under the dash...
