Speedway Engineering 9" Full Floater - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

Hey Everyone!

Long time, no see!

I have had my "only used once" full floater setup sitting in storage for a long time. Recently, I sent it to my gear shop to have it given the once over. He checked it all out and it was good but for a slightly bent axle tube. We had had them cambered before and took it to a race shop to have the axles put back to spec.

Here are a few photos of the setup as it sits now:

I can get more if there is interest.

Here is the setup:

Speedway Engineering Full Floater Housing
Mark Williams Aluminum Center Section w/3.55 rear gears
31 Spline Axles
Wilwood SuperLite Brake Caliper/Rotor setup to match to Stoptech ST60s in Front
DPI Platinum Trac Differential

The whole setup had 4th Gen Camaro brackets put on it to work with the Unbalanced Engineering Decoupled Torque Arm setup.

The housing was approx. $900 new, the center sections start at $2000 on Mark Williams site, and the brakes were around $1000 or so, and then axles, seals, etc...all adds up. Over $5000 in it new....

I am looking at a FIRE SALE on this as it has sat for a long time and needs a home.

Was looking at $2000 OBO.

Hoping to sell local in Norcal so I can deliver.

Thanks

Let me know

Randy - totally understand not wanting to ship. Keep me in mind though if you get to that point.

Like land, I'm tired of blowing up 10 bolts. Killed 3 in as many seasons. I just built a fresh 10 bolt, but I know it's going to explode just like the last 3. Worst part is I need a new transmission, but this thing is such a deal I might not be able to pass it up.

Same boat as you know. Built a brand new 10 bolt in May and it lasted 4 events and 34 runs. Rebuilt it again with a fresh diff and gears and it lasted two weeks, 2.5 events, and broke on the 17th run. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
