If you are pushing it money and time spent on the 8 3/4 may be a waste. It will break somewhere else. Better to go with a D60. If you aren't pushing it, just leave it alone, save your money and enjoy. Mine works fine because its a road car with road race aspirations... no first gear launches on stickey slicks required. Maybe 2'nd on an auto cross but the 8 3/4 can take that.

If you plan to do this, make sure you/your guy uses a jig and is VERY careful not to warp it... you can kiss it good bye if that happens... 5964020-bbrace.JPG (150 downloads)
