Understandably the owner of the STI was devastated with the damage caused by the oil filter spewing oil onto the hot exhaust, but thankful to the awesome people who stopped on track to help. It's great to see the community looking after each other. Stay safe guys!
Wow. Lots of dramas. Hope old mate’s Subie is OK and not too damaged. Bummer about your car. Wonder if a bearing collapsed in the diff? Hope it is an easy fix. This may have been caused by the tail shaft failure as well. Got the new plugs in and hope to work on my reaction times this Friday. Getting a big update to the exhaust on the Lexus next month. True dual.
Oh awesome, I'm patiently waiting for the exhaust video update! Could be the bearing but more likely an issue with the centre or even a cv. His Subie was likely a write off, it was in pretty bad shape unfortunately.
If only these rear end problems could be cured with some ointment and a comfortable pillow, but in the end im sure youl work it out, all the best Mr Sauce, great uploads and GT.
Yeah, it made me less sad about my diff. Although it didn't really upset me because I still had an awesome morning looks like the truetrac has had an issue. I'll post up what's going on when I know more 🙂
Why oh why didn't Ford Australia put a 9inch diff in the back of the XR8/GT Falcons? Nothing but hassles with the multi bushed irs rear end, my XR8 has vibration, wobble etc, love to know if a 9inch conversion is possible or even a old Mustang 8 3/4
Hi Blake. Sorry you had bad luck again.I have the silver BA GT manual . We met at test and tune in August , when you changed throttle body and plenum did you need to change intake pipe or anything else? Did it run straight away without a tune?Anything else i need to know about this mod? I hope to be at next test and tune that is on a Saturday Cheers.
Hi mate! How did you go? I caught you going past on the straight a few times from put lane, sounds awesome! I used a boss315 intake elbow from Ford, the throttle body is from VMP Performance and obviously plenum from Yella Terra. I don't believe the gains for a street car are worth the money you pay for the full setup but I needed it for my future plans. I want to develop a better unit in the future but I'd recommend just going a spacer and half shafting and knife edging the factory 75mm for best bang for buck.
Hey mate you may need to look at a modified diff if you’re gonna continue to race a drag your ba . stock running gear as you know is not designed for constant abuse , diff , drive shaft now diff again ? Is that the right count ?
Hi mate, it's a near new Truetrac centre with genuine Dana 4.11's. Still under warranty, not sure what has happened this time. And yes, stock centre let go. Then tailshaft a year later but it was a donut failure. This is definitely more minor this time. But yes, upgrading is the best way to go.
@@GapSauceRUclips hey got a question are your headers pace maker or what brand I have a Herrod twin exhaust quad tips with mron 100 cell cats but I like the sound of yours and gonna dump the stock headers so want to get a nice flowing set .

Long live the Falcons cheers Gap Sauce for pushing the Power .Big ups from Newzealand Ford Fans 🍺🍺
@@nathanwarden1422 Thanks mate, more to come in the future. I love this car 😁
Always great to see car guys looking out for each other
Curious to see what’s going on with the diff
No real carnage this time 👍
Hopefully nothing too serious, ill still need to pull it apart though.

Hahaha, If only it was that easy! It gives me content to work with, just expensive 😅 Thanks 🙂
*Just when you’re having dramas and then you see this stuff happen. Good to see all those helpers👌🏼*
*Whats the diagnosis for the mighty GT?*

@@GapSauceRUclips ok, hope it’s not too serious, looking forward to the update post 👌🏼
Shame about the the diff playing up, wondering does it have a tru-track?
Yes it does have one, I suspect it is my issue but need to get the car apart.
i absolutely love watching the GT at the track or down the strip ! So damn fast ! and it's NA haha
Thanks mate! I appreciate you watching my vids.
Well I guess the positive is that if you keep breaking it, you can justify to the missus you need better parts 😂
Hahaha, she's a worse influence than I am "Just buy a supercharger" she says 🤣
@@GapSauceRUclips if she says do it then you really need to take that opportunity mate! She mightn't ever say it again!

the diffs in the xr6t and xr8s have an 8.8inch crown wheel so its not that much smaller than a 9inch
It definitely is possible, they are heavy though. It wasn't the diff that broke fortunately.

Man what rotten luck,
How good are gemi's 🤙your mate Rob's 1.8l turbo and only around 950kg, little weapon for sure
Yeah not great, still had a great morning. Rob runs 30psi, its a monster.
@@GapSauceRUclips far out 30psi, you know what hp it's putting out? 500 plus id imagine

Update, it was the tailshaft rear CV, cage had broken but held together.
@@GapSauceRUclips didn’t you have a tail shaft go earlier, front yoke ?
@@openmind3699 Yeah the donut let go.

Poor bastards 😞
