Sweet! I'm still kicking around the idea of doing a new shifter when I replace my interior this summer.

Nice! I'm still waiting impatiently for UMI to get their tq. arms to market....

- Justin

why? spohn's piece is very solid and a good deal for the price.

lookeeeng good mayn...i cnat wait to see it all installed

....also very heavy. The adjustable in chromemoly will cost over $500 from Spohn. But I haven't decided yet. I'll run the car on the stock arm with a poly mount and street tires for now and hope for 2.0 60' times :lol:

- Justin

Nice
How much do shifters go for?

I think it was 160 shipped off of ebay. gotta love ebay. Ill post up pics of the shocks i got lata on and i just bought subframe connectors today they'll be here in a week. Im still deciding on buying the edelbrock torque arm.

I am also thinking about getting the sphon a arms but im not shure whose sway bars to get :roll: .

What is the intended purpose of the car? daily driver, drag, road course, autocross?

Let us know and we'll give ya some tips on part selection.

- Justin

ive seen pics/heard stories of edelbrock torque arms just snapping...just thought id tell you.

how hard is the install for that shifter?

some wires and drill two holes, ill let ya know more when i put it in the car.

The car will be taken to the strip every once and a while but will mostly be a nice day weekend show cruizer car.

how's this one look?

gotcha.

spohn a-arms are the best i've ever seen. he's got a completely integrated system that can be tied into his roll cage, etc., sub-frame connectors... blah blah blah. i imagine he'll be able to replace the entire suspension system on a thirdgen one day, if he continues down this path and doesn't get distracted by fourthgens.

now, that looks heavy.

I got the stocker with the same rubber mount its had since 1988 and it rules. 1.70's effortlessly. Suspension is for rich people.

And what size tires do you use to run mid 12's? :D

- Justin

27x10.50". If I were to throw money into the suspension I'd probably buy LCA's with relocation brackets, adjustable rear shocks, and front drag struts with V6 (or equally crappy) springs. I don't think your average f-body needs an aftermarket torque arm till you're running silly times.

You could easily box the stock LCAs, get relo brackets, and maybe add a set of 50/50s in the rear and run a 9.5" QTP or toss on a set of DRs for less rolling resistance and faster times.

- Justin

Next time at the track I'm confident it'll go 1.6x's and atleast 12.20's. I think my ability to hook on the factory suspension is my torque converter. Its a little too tight for my motor so on the initial launch the tires arent immediately hit with full power. I bring the car off idle to about 1500RPM and launch, the car squats, goes about 6-10 feet forward and thats when it reaches its powerband and starts flying. As soon as these QTP's wear out I'll probably be buying a set of 275/60 ET Radials and see how well they work.

:D

When do you usually go to Atco? I'd like to check that car out sometime.

- Justin

speaking of which whos down for tuesday.

Hardly ever because I work nights. Only times I get to go are when they have T&T on sundays ...which sucks. I need a new job

Nice new toys.

BTW, 1.7's suck
1.6's are iffy
1.5's and quicker ;)
