how hard is the bmr torque arm install? Any directions online? Install university only has the lca and panhard installs. Any info appreciated. thanks.

 

I'm gonna lend a hand in Black Magic Racing's install of my BMR torque arm. Should be here next week. If you have it in before then, let me know. Since the rear axle is under pressure from springs, etc, after you remove the arm, it may move and be hard to line up the bolt holes for the BMR. Just a thought.

 

It probably wont be purchased and attempted to install until around feb. Let me know how it goes. Ill PM you askin how it went in a week or so.

 

I just got the tracking number last night, and it's already left Texas this afternoon. Making good progress from Louisiana. Should have it installed by next friday.

 

good news and good luck! Ill be talking to you in the next week. Thanks

 

I just had Dave Sellers (Black Magic Racing) install my BMR Adj Torque Arm, and it made a nice difference. Ran into a few problems with the stock mount and the new bushing, but he worked on it until it fit perfect. He did GREAT work. I've hit the the pedal WOT a few times from stop signs and it made a noticeable difference. I still spun the tires, but only for a split second, then it hooked up like crazy. I haven't had a chance to get new track times since: I got new tires, BMR LCA's, BMR Adj Torque Arm, fixed a fuel problem, replaced a broken left motor mount and an overstressed right motor mount, and a broken tranny mount...............So hopefully I'll see some improvement.

 

how long did it take? How hard was it? I am going to be putting in the BMR traction kit in sometime around march. Anything I should be aware of?

 

It should only take about an hour. First thing is to remove the front bushing and clasp that holds the bushings. You then need to remove the stock rubber bushings from the clasp halves by drilling or ginding off the rivets. Then remove the bolts that hold the torque arm to the rear pumpkin and pull the torque arm off. Put your new bushing into the clasp and get all of the bolts in. Only start the top bolt. Slide the front of the torque arm into the bushing and put the rear of the torque arm on the pumpkin. You may need to use a little persuasion from a rubber mallet to get the rear plate around the pumpkin. Put the rear bolts in and torque down. Tighten up the front bolts for the bushing.

 

that pretty much covers it. It took a while longer, because the bushing didn't fit in the stock mount. Had to use a dremel on it, then it fit.
