Daeron Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Its just, its so SMOOTH*crUNCH!* classic Awesome video man, really cool swap and now its well documented. Your videos make a lot of connections for z-builders out there, keep them coming! One thing this had me thinking... If one were to install a gearbox like this, and set the engine/trans combination back an inch or two.. do you think it would still fit and function within the stock shifter hole? Cutting the tunnel is one thing, but clearing the stock center console would be probably the more important thing in my eyes.... IF SO, I think we may have found a good spot for a cupholder to go (right in front of the shifter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boardkid280z Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Its just, its so SMOOTH*crUNCH!* LOL Great video, Phil. That sounds like an awesome upgrade. The car probably feels a lot faster since it's so much lighter , no doors, hatch, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why when I was pulling back into my drive way I was kinda stunned that it was spinning 3rd so easy? I only ran that turbo about 2 weeks before the other trans bit the dust. Thats gotta be a few hundred pounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ran that turbo about 2 weeks before the other trans bit the dust. Thats gotta be a few hundred pounds? hood, 30 pounds? Doors, 30-40 pounds apiece? hatch, another 40? thats about a passenger's weight or so. You've got the bits off of your car, you tell US what they weigh The hoods and the hatches are all likely nearly identical, but I am sure the later doors were heavier than the early ones, so you would know best what the weight difference is.

1 fast z Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Man you need atleast some 275 wide good drag radials. That will get rid of that spinning in second and third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will get rid of that spinning in second and third. well don't tell anyone but I bought the Rota wheel group buy, 17x 9.5 with gunmetal center.

1 fast z Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 As long as you have a good soft DR, like a 275 on that 9.5 wheel, youll see how much less it spins. In a way its less "fun" but makes for a much quicker car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
