[Si Speed 317]

Gearing worries me, I want my tranny to stay alive! Albins has better gear ratios than PPG gears. Both are out of my ballpark anyway.

[k20fg]

Yeah its a tough pill to swallow for a tranny build but I want this car to last the long haul. These are some rough estimates I put together not including finding another used donor tranny and labor install.

ALBINS Gears = 3850
TSX 5th Gears 60+70 = 130
Sleeves & 1-6 Synchros = 825
Torco Trans fluid 20x5 = 100
MTEC Spring
TOTAL = 4915 + s&h

OPTIONAL: 4.76/4.38FD $1070
OPTIOANL: QUAFIE LSD $875ish

Things really get out of hand when you throw a Twin Disk in there along with EM1 CMC/Hybrid cables.
All in good time though .. hopefully this stock tranny holds up a little longer

That's nuts. Any reason why you haven't looked into PPG gears?

Nice build! I cant wait to order my Full Race kit soon

FR < BoostJunkyz lol Nice build man. I would def do some more reasearch. I think you can get away with running just ppg or albins 3-4 and get tsx 6 and just get some ep3 or base rsx 1,2 and 5. They are pretty long.

I want Albins too

Yeah I've done a ton of research and I'd be more at ease with the Albins 1-4 and FD.
I haven't posted my updates in here yet since all the parts are sitting at home waiting to be installed.

How is fort bragg treating you?

[k20fg]

It is alright once you get out of FayetteNam .. I live like 32miles away from post so I like the country area I'm at.
The Mountains are a few hours drive (Tail of the Dragon) and the coast (Myrtle Beach and Wilmington) is even shorter.
I'm a Sailor so I am partial to being stationed by the water but I don't mind being land locked .. haha

OH I found a site that sells Feels front bumper and other exterior accents
