Twacks joining the cool kids and going manual. (lots of pics)
Well the time came and the auto was done. I got a steal of a deal on all of the manual swap parts in awesome condition. I wanted to build up the auto but as some of you may know i got laid off last week so theres no way in the world i could put money in the auto.
Since I now have a lot of spare time and a junk auto i figured it was time to take the plunge and do the swap. No more giant shifter http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2...p/09191805.jpg Stupid axle nut http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2...p/09191440.jpg One last look at the auto that treated me good all these years http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2...p/09191439.jpg Got all my auto drivetrain out http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2...p/09191804.jpg Dustin 123abc decided to come down to turn some wrenches http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2.../09200026d.jpg New LSD 4 bolt rear diff http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2...09201559-1.jpg Whats this is see in my bay?

Muahahahahah that last pic is full of win!
I had a fun time. You know I like coming up there and helping out. We got quite a bit done since we started at like 8 last night till 3:30 today. What does that leave then? Drive shaft, cutting the holes for the cables and the slave, mounting the line and swapping pedal assemblies, and also the front axles. |

Got some updates for yall
Cutting holes with only the grinder wheel and no other cutting tools sucks but hey it works http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2...p/09221426.jpg So that means its time for a shifter and cables!!! tranny feels great http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2...p/09221845.jpg I spent a good hour or two upsidedown trying to get the damn pedal out. If you want to know what it takes to get a pedal out, here you go http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2...p/09222012.jpg But i didnt let it beat me and if you know what your looking at you can see some Manual pedals http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2.../09222159b.jpg And finally i got the hole cut for the master cylinder, this project is really coming together http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2...p/09222159.jpg |

Re: Twacks joining the cool kids and going manual. (lots of pics)
One of my shifter cables had a broken cable so i tried using Poofys old 2g cable. 2g cables have more movement so it worked great in my car. But because of the extra movement i dont think a 1g cable would work in a 2g.
http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2.../09271951a.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2...p/09271951.jpg You can see that the metal piece on the 2g does not get in the way at all http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2.../09271951b.jpg Got one side all done and ready to go http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2...p/DSCF1595.jpg Got bored painted the nasty lookin CAS http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2...p/DSCF1596.jpg Got the exhaust on, time for half the jackstands to go! http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2...p/Untitled.jpg |
