Figured I'd post an update of where my car is at now. Spent a while during my off time doing a T-56 swap on the V6. Installed new suspension components as well as Blainefab spacers. I'm loving this car even more with the manual trans. I had a 3800 stall and a built auto before, and decided to try and sell it off since the drag strips are dead around here.

Anybody know what class I'd be in if I were to go to an SCCA event on street tires?

Anyway, here we go!

New parts:

Suspension/Chassis:
Front:
Strano 35mm swaybar
Strano SP141 springs
Koni Yellow 4/4 shocks
Rear:
Strano 22mm swaybar
Strano SP141 springs
Koni Yellow 4/4 shocks

ARP Wheel studs & Blainefab 1/2" spacers

Drivetrain:
UMI Torque Arm Relocation Cross member
Mal-Wood Ecotec V6 to T-56 bellhousing adapter
Tick performance master cylinder
Centerforce clutch
GTO MM12 T-56 (6-speed transmission)
MGW T-56 shifter

Spent most of the day doing this last part of buttoning everything back in with new carpet:

How it sits now (on lower spring perch up front and still have the isolators in the rear):

Minus the 6-speed its probably in STX if your tires are 265 or smaller width. I'm not entirely sure on the torque arm mount, but the 6-speed is the glaring issue. Locally I'd run STX and not worry about it. Should be 100% legal for ESP, but you're pretty under prepped there.

Haha running 275's all four corners right now. It's just something as far as throwing it out there. If we get a close enough event I'll probably find some el cheapo stockers and run a good set of compounds on there. Our chapter only runs at one location right now, and it's an hour and a half drive. Some have said the location equates to driving in a gravel pit right now...

Most wouldn't think it's a 6 speed since it is a V6, but I doubt I'll be in it enough to get worthwhile points.
