Stihl MS881! The rumors begin

[Woodpecker]

anybody here know a good washing machine?

Is your budget 5k?

 

[Woodwater]

maybe

Laundry and NFL, you're not serious about either unless you spend 5K. GET. ON. MY. LEVEL...

I drove an 1989 ford probe gt turbo for a few years, torque steer was harder for me to compensate for after learning on rear wheel drive cars.
Hot rod pickups are where you need to get creative! I had a 73' D100 long bed that would break the rear loose at 70mph if I was being stupid.

I've done a ton of work to improve traction. I have a Griggs Racing torque arm in addition to Griggs Racing adjustable lower control arms and a Steeda adjustable Panhard bar.

I'm also running Nitto 295-45-18 tires on the rear (they told me to biggest I could fit was 285-40-18), but they were wrong! The slightly taller tire makes a big difference in straight line performance.

If you are on a good road you don't have to counter steer in 3rd gear, but if you forget to take off the traction control it will limit the engine, so there is still some tire spin.

My fuel mileage is almost as good as stock (if I drive it easy), but the performance is night and day different!

Rear axle is 3:55, but first gear in the tranny is a ridiculous 3:35 to 1. You really have to restrain your right foot in first!

I can be doing 40 in second gear with the clutch out and punch the gas and bust em loose.

Can you bust em loose, with the clutch in also?

I must not be very serious about TV watching, I have a 32" emerson flat screen, I picked up for $40 at an estate sail.

It was a huge upgrade over the 24" boobtube it replaced. I'll never be on the same level as some.....

I upgraded the turbo on my 89 gt. Traction became an issue... Instead of accelerating it would just light a tire. I got lucky and stumbled across an mfactory differential for cheap... Got that put in and no more traction issues. Does like to torque steer. The VAPS power steering does help with that a little.

If you spend 8K we can talk..

Until then...

Does anyone know which coil will fit a 881?
So we can get it unlimited or at least turning more than 11500 rpm

 

[ManiacalMark]

361 and 441 could have been used on the NE 880, I would imagine that would work on an 881, same flywheel.

I don't believe so.

 

[ManiacalMark]

I don't believe so.

Which part?

 

[Mastermind]

Which part?

Those coils fitting the 881.

[ManiacalMark]

Not even with an 881 leg and 361/441 coil?

 

[huskihl]

Never seen an 881

 

[lehman live edge slab]

Never seen an 881

Me either, where my wife works was supposed to get a couple to put on the shelf but hasn’t yet. Might be a good thing because I’d want to put one on layaway

I guess I’ve “seen” one at a gtg. Just never worked on or played with one

Not many have a use for it, most times in most situations a ported 661 will do the job better and faster at less weight. Unless it’s got a 59” bar on it all the time or strapped to a mill it is kinda out of place. We’ll that or a full on race build for a certain class with pipe ect. Otherwise it would be bought just because like if I were to get one.
