i snapped my stock tourqe arm...

**Spaz** · 05-15-2006, 06:21 PM

well... it snapped right at the very back... so now i got 1 bolt holding it in place and damn... my rear moves front a back A LOT... them things make a huge difference... so now i wave a BMR ordered from thunder...

i also got a spec 3 plus clutch getting put in on thursday so i'm going to have them toss this new TQ arm in when they re assemble everything...

hopefully this will cure my wheel hop... and give me some more traction... first gear is absolute hell traction wise, as my car just spins... i gota take off in second gear to race and feather my way in... and it's not like i have a shit load of TQ and HP...

You will notice a real big difference. The flimsy stamped stocker is junk.

Did you get an adjustable version?

nope... i just went with the regular one... the last thing i need is for me to be screwing around with adjustments and making my rear sloppy like it is now...

It really is not that hard to adjust in fact there is a detailed sketch as a sticky here.

It is a nice feature to avoid the dreaded wheel hop our cars have not to mention dialing the launch in just right.

You should consider phoning them up to change your order...

When I got my car, it had the full welded BMR subframe with the adjustable BMR torque arm that mounts to the subframe, and not the tranny. Wheelhop is non-existent, but some time back BOTH bolts came out of the torque arm where it mounts to the rear.

Where is the sticky which tells how to adjust it? I just jacked up all the weight on the rear, attached the torque arm, and adjusted the nuts tight to that alignment. It seems to have worked like a charm that way, I have been driving it for sometime with no complications.

That is the biggest problem with the alternate mounting points. The bolts tend to get rounded out as the floorpan was never designed/intended to have the TA pressing on it.

Here is the sticky (the best on the web) for adjusting the pinion angle:
