I need some opinions on who to get a Built Tranny from. Yes it is an Auto I blew out my left knee and while I can drive stick I can't do it for a long period of time so I went with an Auto, which there is nothing wrong with.

And how is the driveshaft�s on this car? They are two pieces so I am thinking they need an upgrade but I don't know for sure. Can someone please let me know and where to get it. Thanks!

Hope everyone likes what they heard!!

Thats awesome man... good job with the diy!!! You take any pics yet?!

 

Here's the part that counts - Greddy TT Kit w/ FMIC

 

Pics are coming soon!

And yes I love the Greddy TT kit, although I must say it is one hell of a job trying to get all that engine in there haha

 

damn, this is gonna be a sick car... i'd love to see 1/4 mile vids when ur done! and props for doing it on a 5AT!

 

sounds like a sick setup bro. Keep up posted on it

 

Yea even though my knee issue does kinda get in the way, I am still just as happy with 5AT. I mean once I upgrade the tranny it should be fine.

I will keep you guys posted on new things I do and how the engine runs over time. Hopefully this weekend I will be able to drive it. So far I have started it and went up and down the driveway to be safe. But soon I wanna drive it so bad!!! lol

 

5at Ftw!

 

Driveshaft's?....I think I remember a place called "The Driveshaft Shop", they have shaft, axles, etc. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Try a search. GL with the car.

 

Hey, would you like to have a clutch sometimes? and others drive an 5AT PM me, I think i can hook you up with something special.
Thanks!

 

want to put together a DIY for a short block build? I plan to put together my own too.

 

o yeah, SGP or GTM for a built tranny

+1 thats awesome... i'm planning on building my own motor in the near future

 

Sick Car!!!
