Well it's been awhile since I posted here. Was dealing with some annoying health issues, but all should be good again, and I can say a day of cruising and throttling this car
was exactly the medicine I really needed.
Of course, I really should just ask the mods to delete this thread since I just saw thread updates of the likes of Blu Ballz, War, and Payback this weekend. I am definitely not worthy.
Went out and put some of the first miles on my dog ring trans and boy was it more fun than I even anticipated. And whomever says you can't or shouldn't drive these things on the street, they must prefer Turbo 400's with a 4000 stall converter!
This thing howls and clunks but just goes right into gear so precisely, but you gotta shift it like you mean it, which I don't have any qualms about..... well, ask me again in a few months.
Finally drove over to the truck scales and was hoping for a little lighter, but with all my cage bars, I came in at 3300 lbs even. 53% front/47% rear.
Pics of the almost finished interior with removable tunnel cover for trans access
A couple rear seat delete shots
And finally the obligatory new tire pics
Just a short to-do list before the next track day at Laguna Seca on Dec 31st... can't wait.
