| Senior member, and old dude     Group: Members Posts: 3,901 Joined: 2-January 07 From: Los Angeles Member No.: 7,414 Region Association: Southern California    | T.C. #41 was running the 2.5 SS for 30,000 miles with 7 inch BBS with Michelins. Some where in there these stress cracks appeared. There is no rust on this car in any place in the rear of this car or longs. I believe that there is a lot of stress put on this area of the car as the underside of transmission is bolted there in the center. It is like the step of a ladder. This is one of the main points of the GT kit and that is why I am putting Rick J's kit in. With the wider wheels like I will be running and the bigger HP it is something to consider. Bob  |
