Its either going to get a supercharger, or I'm going to fabricate a twin turbo kit for it later this year. First thing is the LSD, as it still has a open diff

Your car is a work of art my friend! I saw your entire build thread, and I gotta say, the attention to detail is top notch

You're lucky if it's the rubber. Two of my hangers broke off from rust. One in front of the subframe like yours and one by the muffler.

So ends up it was indeed the rubber exhaust hanger, it broke clean through and the rubber felt really brittle. Good thing it wasn't the hanger, we seem to not have those issues often here in Texas

Go to paytexastoll.com, or call 888-811-4565. You have not transferred the title yet, and I just a bill for toll road violations, 3 to be exact for Parmer Lane, Giles Lane, and Parmer again all on 06/11/16. The reference number is : KAE589 Bill ID: 17018013. If my license is suspended due to this, there will be a legal issue. It has been a year now, there is no excuse for this. You had a bill of sale, Texas Title transfer form, and the Title for the car, ALL signed and the title was clear with no lien. I even did a favor and didnt put a date of sale to help any outrageous fees, which Im assuming was a mistake. However, the state will now know that the car was sold July of last year. I hate to do this publicly, ban me or badmouth me I dont care, but this is unacceptable. Picture of the bill and its information is included. I have already contacted them and informed them that I have not owned the vehicle since July of 2015, but because its still registered in my name, they are holding me responsible, and because its a county charged fee, they can and will suspend my license if its not taken care of.

Rarely do I get on CL anymore, so I will be checking the CTRMA website for verification of the payment.
