boy that tranny is clean lol
yea thanks to u i got it cheap...
Did you paint your seats or got them redone?
i used vinyl and fabric paint from dupli color...had it for a month already..seems to be lasting...u just need to give it a couple of coats.
that is the cleanest 5 speed transmission I've seen on here... kinda makes the engine look a little cruddy LOL. Power wash that sucker
and I'm not very fond of your "disappear for 6 months then come back with a ton of mods" theory. hahaha good work
haha...yea i know...i log in from time to time..just been lazy to post any updates...
brand new trans must've cost you a pretty penny! LSD?
actually i got it cheap...and no lsd...i gotta take first moderatly slow if not it jumps like crazy...onces in 2nd let her rip...hmmm with the automatic i burned tires of the line...now i jump a lot until 2nd kicks in..feels like the axles might break..
damn, just saw some of the recent updates. Looking good!!! Hows it feel to be turbo charged? =)
I would take it easy. That jumping is a combo of slip--grip--slip of the tires, that violent shock goes thru the axles and back into the stock differential. You will end up breaking an axle or a spider gear in the diff if that happens. If you break the spider gear it can destroy the trans by locking up and blowing a hole in the bell housing. The front diff carrier bearing sits in that round hump you see inside the bell housing near the input shaft. I have seen this first hand, its not good, be careful.
ohh trust me...i dirve like a gramma...that was just one time to see what the car does...i barely take the car into full boost...its my daily driver and i plan on keeping it that way for a while longer...i probably do about one or two WOT on third gear a months just for kicks and giggles other than that normal driving.
You got any new track numbers Paul? Lookin good Brohan
Nice work man. Is that trany brand new?
Yeah you wont hurt it in 3rd or 4th. The only time you should worry about breaking an axle or a differential is when the wheels spin/grip/spin, thats the death sentence. If you lay on it in 3rd or 4th, you'll be fine because you already have speed and traction.
are you planning to get some mirrors to replace the USM? i got a pair of OEM/ JDM electric mirrors left...your ride looks great!
