Thanks
No need for longer studs. The black dot factory lugs nuts won't work tho.
Also if you ever want to go to larger rotors the biggest we could get behind them was 12.19" rotors

Thanks. I thought I read somewhere that longer studs were needed. I'm aware about the lug nuts. What kind of springs are you running? I assume I'd have to drop my car if I want to set nice with the 17s.

When we rebuilt the suspension all 4 coil springs plus the shocks needed replacing. Brent wanted a lower stance then stock. We dumped the coil springs and installed QA1 adjustable coil overs on all 4 corners.

Brent ordered a Tremec 5spd for his car this last Weds the 14th
We went with the .82 OD

It was shipped today from Silver Sport.
We where supplied with a tracking number and told we should see it out here on the Left coast no later then Friday the 23rd

I'm hoping for my sons sake the transaction goes well and by next weekend we will be asking you all for advice on the install

The goat is back on the road
Install of the TKO 600 was a little challenging for us 2 "fender benders" but we muddled through it.

We had to mod the tunnel a little more then we had hoped.



We ended up riveting the piece in.




We where concerned about how well the console and 8 track housing for the stereo would fit after the mods to the tunnel.
They went back in with no problem



Brent took the car out for its maiden voyage with the new tranny yesterday with no issues

The old mans turn today
