Interested in the clear corners if you sale

 

Slowly making progress on getting my car back up and running- Had a friend fix up some issues with the S4C trans and I smoothed out all the casting marks and painted the case with some Duplicolor "aluminum" engine paint. I thought it came out really nice.






Parts are starting to come in for the rebuild and should hopefully have the long-block assembled in the next couple weeks.

 

Awesome. One day I'll have the nuts to tear down my tranny for a rebuild. Also love how this thread is still going strong

 

Slips !!

 

BRADDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't have the nuts, that's why I paid someone locally who knew what they were doing . He taught me a lot though and showed me how everything worked. Engines are fairly straight forward, transmissions are pretty intense when you think that some engineer drew all of those crazy parts from scratch and they work flawlessly when done right.

I had to replace the 3-4 shift sleeve and the 3rd and 4th synchro as well as the differential bearings and one main gear stack bearing. It whined in first and that was a bad bearing on the diff and one of the gear stacks or whatever the proper word is. Pretty cool to see it all taken apart and how barely noticeable defects on the synchros and sleeves can cause major issues. Can't wait to see how butter smooth it works now.

 

So ima need a second car to take my time with it. I got to see how my buddy put his lsd in his car and I got pretty motivated

 

As of today, I've owned this car for ten years!

 

Nice!

 

Awesome

 

SprinthartCP New Weapon

 

Installed F7 rear LCAs, Hardrace front LCAs, and PIC Performance coil overs yesterday.







Waiting for the tires to arrive, then installing the Buddy club wheels!

 

sweet setup you're not going to regret those Pic coil overs they ride amazing

 

Thanks! They ride pretty good, granted I'm on some balloon tires right now but that'll change tomorrow if the weather is nice. They feel very firm even on these tires haha!

 

those buddy club p1's look real good but i think some enkei rpf1's would also look good too,and did you order your Pic's from their site?

 

Yeah ordered direct from PIC website.

 

slowman, are you tracking this one too?

 

Yeah this is the car I'll be tracking, I sold the harvard blue EG last spring.

 

What events are you doing?

 

Probably just Putnam events later on this year. Hope to go to some more tracks next year... finishing up the 240 (still need to get wheels/tires, and do the CTS-V brake swap) has been a big priority so the hatch is a little bit behind where I'd like it to be for this time of year!

 

Have you looked at any of the Track Night in America events?

250 for an hour of track time. Kind of nice to knock it all out in one day.

I plan to be there earlier in the day for the race car time in both May and June.

 

No I haven't, but I am now... sounds fun and looks like it's $150. Not a bad deal at all! I may have to shoot for the May and/or June ones.

 

$150, that's a steal!! I don't know why I was thinking 250. Anyways, hope to see you out there again.

 

I wanna cuddle you so hard

 

Got the wheels/tires on and adjusted suspension to my liking.. here it is!

 

that's so clean
