finally back on the road
finally back on the road
hey guys, back in december i blew up my tranny. well since i didn't have the money i needed i had to hold off and go without a car for a while. i finally got the money i needed to get all the parts that i wanted. i got a stage 3 clutch, lightweight flywheel, brand new AE LSD Tranny, new axles, new obx headers( i know that i cheaped out but i did get them to work with a little bit of work myself), changed the front springs, and put new brembo slotted rotors all the way around.
we got started on it last tuesday and worked every day after work. the tranny install was pretty easy, but the headers sucked. we got them to work and i had the y pipe part modified to work.
when i got the car back yesterday i had a few minor problems that i fixed today. the maf was dead, one of my coils were bad, and i had some 6 month old gas in it. so i changed the parts, and put in 101 gas and the car is running great now. i can't wait to get the miles on the clutch to get it broke in so i can get on it.
two things to note is that with the clutch and flywheel i chose i was thinking that driving it everyday would suck, but it really doesn't at all. i love it. also i was thinking that since my catback was already pretty loud before that after installing headers it would be extremely loud. it was not the case, the car is actually a little bit quieter.
dyno time will come after the clutch is broke in and i get my nitrous re installed(had to get the noids rebuilt). i'll let yall know of the gains. before any of this the car put down 196 hp and 194ftlbs.
thanks to the org for the information that i needed and if anyone has questions on how to do some of the stuff that i did please ask. i'll help you out.
big thanks to jason(97maximus), my buddy sean(who has a kick a$$ altima se-r), beau(02bqq), and the moral support from my buddy marc for all the help and patience to put this car back together.
