      You have to keep up with the shine juice. It will dull out eventually. This is the episode he just filmed while he was working on his black Jeep that he flat tows behind his camper. Derek and Jessica were doing some paint correction on the Jeep and he said that he was filming a Roadworthy episode at 7:30am in his shop the next day. Probably filmed about a month or two ago.

      THAT is purely final drive. As a road racer I have looked at the math with both TKX and Magnum 6 speed and neither are ideal because of the ratios. Strong boxes yes and great for a street car BUT far from close ratio. Super T10, Super Muncie, GSR G Force are all more suitable. And all 4 speeds.
