Nice pics. You mean you have to space the tranny a 1/4 inch away?!?!?!? I'll have to read the thread ya posted though. How does the exhaust sound? Pretty loud without a muffler? My 1g wasn't too bad running just an O2 housing for a lil while (surprisingly). It was actually quieter than running open dp. I'm wanting to do a side exit like that on a 2g but throw on a Thermal exhaust muffler I have laying around....if it'll fit.

The car is just basically my toy that I drive around for fun. The exhaust isn't too loud when the windows up :D .

You want to put on a muffler on a side exhaust?

How often do you plan on replacing rod bolts? And why did you step away from the DNP mani?

Sorry for the late updates...

I had a chance to get it to the track
R/T: 1.07
60' 2.409
330 6.728
1/8 9.893
MPH 85.27
1000 12.223
1/4 14.116
MPH 120.44

Basically the story goes: The tranny was junk I couldn't shift it at all. I had to let the RPMs drop to about 4k until I could shift. It spun 1 and 2nd. then around 6k it started spinning again.

fastest time was 14.1 and highest MPH was 123.

I recently installed a new clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder, extended slave rod, and a spacer behind the ball in the trans. Also put in the spare trans.

We are making a trip back to the track on the 22nd so lets hope for some more MPH!

Good start! Rebuilds usually start with a teardown.;)

Not sure how often I'm going to replace them but I do check them when I change the oil. I also check the bearings while I'm in there.

I cracked the tubular mani, It's the only reason I took it off.

Good stuff man. What kind of camera do you use?

Also I like the engine bay, you make me want to paint mines and tuck the wires better :)

It's a Pentax SR 12 megapixel. Nothing special.

Ah I can't believe I didn't put this up. I was able to get on the dyno for just a base line pull while I was down In Jacksonville,FL. Car made 392whp and 336tq.

This was with no tune at all. Timing was anywhere from -4 to 5 deg in the pulls. And the AFR's maxed out at 10.0 from 4k to 8600.

Enjoy
