So I've had everything hooked up for about a week now. For those who forgot/don't know check my sig. I got a NOS wet shot 2 stage and everthings been cool. Except for the weather which has hindered me takin it to the track and runnin a time slip. Definate 12's though i think. So finally the weather stoped rainin/snowin and i hooked it up on this strip. I've had it floored and punched a few times and everthing went cool---fast as hellllll!!!!! 150 ponnies will break your neck! But, But But But, i'm racin a TA and winning when i hear Snap crackle Pop and there goes my front axle. I'm lucky it didn't really screw much up. So just thought you all should know i'm back in the shop and on the look out for some kinda high performance axle. I've had too much custom stuff that's put me in the hole as it is. well there you go.

 

do you have pics of the final install on the tranny and how much did it cost? Where did you get your forged pistons at also. thanks man

 

around 3?K if you ad in the aem ecu. Pistons were bought used from a guy here with a AV6.

 

did you have any difficult problems with it and how long did it take? How much did you pay the for the tranny?- sorry for all the questions, trying to figure out with I really want to do this or not

 

get it back running i want to see some time slips-----------fastest 1st gen?

 

maybe fastest CL period

 

Good luck with the new project.

 

Damn son, with the amount of $$ you are putting in on this, you could have bought a stock car that could turn sub 13's :-)

 

is the tranny in and done? or was this done with the auto?

 

How does the car ride? Do you feel any vibrations anywhere. I take it the install wasn't too hard then? Which mounts where used for the setup?

 

Well to answer a few, the price was probably too high but that's my fault for NOT doing my homework. You see i'm not much of a mechanic--not at all. I had a mechanic do all the work and he kept running into things that had to be bought. It was a mess and i seriously would only advise it to people who have money (not me now!) and who know what they're doing, and patient people, and ummm maybe a bit dumb??? LOL. well the car rides smooth and the AEM ECU has really really helped a lot. I'm gonna have it dynoed so i can post power. The axle broke with the auto tranny in. No harm done to the tranny. I'm not sure about fastest CL but we'll see!!!!!!!!! Oh anyone wanna contribute to the tire fund?? i'm burnin my uppppppppppp!!!

 

get some pics.

 

get some micky thompsons and some lightweight rotas- then hit the track. I want to see someone break into the 12's ( I know I wont be anytime soon)

 

and some stronger axles

 

I've gotta see this thing once shes back on the road. Let us know next time you head to the track (what track anyway?), I wanna be there to see you rip off some 12's. Friggin awesome!!

 

Wait you lost me on that post.. You said that the axel broke on the automatic?
Was it broken before you threw in the 6speed?

 

Sorry. Type-o. I meant with the 6spd in. And i'll be runnin (once it's up and goin) at thundervalley race way in OK.

 

Which axels,hub and knuckle assembly did you use? The 1st gen's? Did you use the rear mount from the type-S? Reason being that the rear mount on the 6-speed connects to the tranny housing and the engine. Thanks

 

When are we gonna get some pics? I wanna see how sweet this looks.

 

:sqnteek:

Starting to doubt with lack of pics.....

 

Okay, Mr. negative, if you wanna send me a d. cam fine but right now i've had more than i've bargained for on this deal. It's become a pain and a money pit. So sorry that the first thing on my list is not, "oh let me get pics up so everyone can see." I've gotta go to school to use the computer so at least i am giving u some kinda update. Pictures will come i promise. Not just pics of my car but pics of my 12 second time slip too! Patience please, or else YOU!

 

can't wait to see them man, until then, best of luck!

 

any updates?

 

Hoff, how much did they shave off your head? I'm pulling the head off and figured this would be a good time to send it in for some machine work.

Also, what did you pay for your pistons so I have a basis of what I should be paying.
