this might be a good question, it might not.........if i got a peice of aluminum tubeing could i make a FSTB????? id drill some anchor points and use steel to bolt it down.......do you think it is possible....i dont care about how much work, but could it be as good as like an otto or something.....would it help at all????? WOULD IT BE BETTER THAN WIKINGS?????? LOL j\k wiking

 

fix your transmission!

 

Van- I have 2 auto transmissions in my garage, AWSOME shape. $50 each plus w/e shipping is. I need money and they need to be gone!!!!

the otto is like 50 bucks...just seems like a lot of effort...

the otto and other bars out there are either buttressed by some kind of bracing or truss...and some of them are solid pieces as opposed to your proposed hollow bar. i don't think you'll have the desired effect from your DIY FSTB. any experience wedling aluminum?

 

the darn ebay ones are like 20 bucks.

buy alex's tranny and stop wasting your money on stuff.....

 

yeah dude...why are u talkin about moddin a car that doesn't run right?

 

Because he's 17. 17 year old logic. "My car doesn't run but for 18 cents I can still mod it"

 

Gotta love the kid for trying tho. Get the tranny, if you still want a FSTB then wait and get the OTTO, its great construction, installation, and looks great too.

 

buy one of alex's trannies, even if you wanted a 5 speed you can still look for one but $50 plus shipping is really good. and just buy an ebay bar if you want one they are $20 shipped, but be warned the best thing that i have noticed about my bar is that it is useful to grab onto when i am leaning over the engine bay.

 

get a steel pipe...weld it between the strut towers. it's not pretty...but it works.

 

I remember when my tranny went, all I could think about is how I was going to get the thing fixed.....like someone said, it's kind of not worth to spend any money on modding till you get the thing going

 

Be smart.. buy both of the dudes trannies so you have a spare, especially at only 50 bucks.

Personally, I've got two spare VE 5spd trannies... just cuz I can.
