So I've been floating around awhile but haven't posted much, mostly reading and enjoying. So I thought I'd post up what I've been working on for everyone. My pride and joy is a 2001 Trans am Ws6 (not anymore technically) haha. I've been slowly building and driving the car since I bought it in 2012. It was in rough shape and didn't seem like it was taken care of. I've upgraded and removed alot, and still have alot more to go. The short story of the upgrades are full suspension, cage, custom exhaust and any weight removal possible. Thanks for viewing!

Thank you for the advice Kevin! I'll keep all that in mind. The control arms are poly, when i talked to umi i told them what i would be doing and that i wanted everything and thats what they recommended. The only reason I haven't hit the track yet is because my transmission is close to being on its last leg. And I didn't wanna put money into the automatic. Oh and I don't trust the stock hubs.

People are starting to make the hubs into a bigger issue than it really is. If they aren't at the very least a very, very sticky and wide street tire like the RE71R/Rival S they will be fine. |

Would you cluster the 275 Rival S into that group? Or were you referring to 315+ tires? I really don't want to shell out the $$$ for the custom hub adapter C5R race stuff if most of you guys survived the Hoosier R-Comp heyday without incident. I like the warranty exchange thing I do with SKF hubs from RockAuto. Once a year or so, send old ones back, get new ones. They're only 15 minutes to change per corner anyway and I always have a pair on standby in the garage. |
