Does your mechanic work on saturdays? If so a weekend trip out your way sounds like fun.

 

Beaner, you plan on leaving right after work on a Friday?

 

always a possibility, i know there are shops locally but heck... make a weekend out of it

 

lets see 2 for doc 1 for me 1 for coyote 1 for beaner..... doc your mechanic better be eatin his wheaties!!! i was telling clarke maybe a day at 41 raceway to test all the units!

 

Same here man. I claw away at the recept i got in the mail every day. I keep it stuck on the fridge to remind me of how awesome this will be. I like were it says "Helical Torque Biasing LSD" those are some nice bragging words.

 

Should be about 5 more weeks by my calculation......

I still have to find a local (or loco) shop and see what they will charge to do the install....

 

Yes, sir lucky to have ole' Fast Freddie, my mechanic....as soon as we do the first one, we will nail down the price for sure...and these will be weekend installs....we will get it right on my blue coupe, the roadster can wait if necessary....so, I will certainly let everyone know...and will be taking photos of the install....but, it is too cold right now...although he will start once the first one arrives...cold or not...

 

Can't wait to hear how these units work!!

 

Speaking of "Waiting"...

Just in 15 min ago from Devin:
------------------------

Hello Alan:
I spoke with Autotech this morning and the manufacturing of your Wavetrac has been delayed 4 to 5 weeks. Autotech has not been able to acquire the quality and quantity of steel required to build Wavetracs. They will not compromise.


I will keep you up to date as I learn more.


Regards,
Devin B. King
------------------------

 

Update: as of today we are on hold because the manifacturer can not supply the correct hardness(,quality), of metal to make our units, and others wavetrac,some of the other ( other than ours)projects for the wavetrac have a 13 to 15 month delivery date..

We should have a delivery date set for us as soon as the correct metal is delivered. I would say another 30 to 60 days. jim

P.S. u have waited this long so a few more weeks will not matter..

 

bummer .

 

phoooey! Resetting count down to early/mid April? (hopefully)......

 

Some of the people are old and don't have much longer...

Just joking

Heres some more reading material for you guys. Theres some nice pics with the guts of the diff.

Now we play the waiting game.. some more.

 

Seems to me, that with such an extended waiting period, and with having
paid the deposit well in advance there should be some reduction in the final installment. I mean, I had thought production was supposed to begin at
the time we made the deposit payment. And, that was in November, if I
recall correctly. And, production hasn't even started? Or, maybe I'm
remembering wrong.

OK, gotta put the patience brakes on...

Coyote

 

That is ok with me! I never been down the track so I have a lot of learning to do. But that is ok, I am still faster than Rudy! For now...

 

Bummer again. I didn't realize the production run was that long after the prototype. Yep, another racing season will go by without an lsd
