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: (IMG:http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a141/WarShrike/Manual%20Swap/insidegif.gif) How it sits now (on lower spring perch up front and still have the isolators in the rear): (IMG:http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a141/WarShrike/Race%20Lubbock/PA285228.jpg) (IMG:http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a141/WarShrike/Race%20Lubbock/PA285252.jpg) (IMG:http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a141/WarShrike/Race%20Lubbock/PA285329.jpg) |

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.

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. |
