TDavis' Platinum Warrior build

[Woods247]

@TDavis how much does one of your TD wheels weigh? I need to sell my ProRace 3 for a 17x8 and I’m leaning towards your setup, if I can get them lol.

The 17x8 1.2s weigh ~19.6 pounds each.

(I believe that TDavis has the 17x7s )

Tbh I couldn't tell ya, 18-19lbs sounds about right though

Mine are 17x8

OK, I somehow thought that your silver wheels were 17x7s, maybe because you had 205/40-17s on them at some point? ()

New engine arrived yesterday! Seeing it next to a Gen 3 5.0 is adorable

It’s incredible that these little motors can pump out 500-600hp - turbo sexy time! This is rad man. I’m excited for you.

Yes, they do appear to be TINY when out of the engine bay.

The 3 cylinder 1.0 must look ridiculously microscopic when standing alone.

Haven't done much to the car, the last mod I did was the turbo which was last Feburary, thats a long time in between mods as I usually get something every month lol. Paying stuff off is my first priority now, plus I'm happy where the car is at for the time being. Don't worry, I'm not selling it, I have too much fun with it to do that.

Saw a member do this so I followed suit. When you add the LED light bar that older models of FiST's came with you're left with 2 extra LEDs when you get the harness. I did this a year or so ago and just have the extra LEDs dangling in the glove box. The two extras are technically for the footwell but since you already have footwell LEDs you can't use them. I decided to do what a member did and put one in the cubby hole and the other in the glove box.

I have a 2017 as well and never seen this mod. Is it plug and play or some modification required to install it?

thanks.

To get the LEDs in the cubby hole and glovebox you need to drill holes so that they snap into place. for the wires you just have to splice into the existing LED light harness. Sounds harder then it is

LSD got here yesterday. Installed it last night. Didn't get any pictures of the install, was too stressed out because I don't like dealing with transmissions. Not saying it was hard, just I know transmissions can he complicated if something goes wrong 😂

 

[xxiaze]

How was the install? How’s it feel installed!? That’s rad man.

Engine isn't in the car yet lol

Install was fine, no snags

 

[xxiaze]

Oh yeah! Derp... forgot that part. I suppose that would help a little in determining its awesomeness. Lol

From what I've read shims are only needed on clutch type LSDs. Also, got the engine in and 80% hooked up tonight. More updates tomorrow

LSD is a little noisey, assuming that's normal for the helical mechanical diff ?

 

[M-Sport fan]

The 10 bolt GM rear axle Torsen T-1s which came from the factory installed in 4th gen LS1 f bodies used to make a 'rocks in a box' type sound on coast down.

What does the MFactory sound like?

 

[TDavis]

Just trying to make sure it's right. It sounds like a worring sound and only does it under load in gear

I buzz you on FB but I’ll post here too. Shouldn’t be making noise. Try changing to Motul Gear 300 and see if that makes an improvement. If not, holler at MFactory. I had quick responses from them when I had questions before purchasing.
