auto trans choices...

[Damkid]

I could possibly do that, are you headed up to Paul's that day or something?

[M3NTAL]

Chris how the heck is the 4speed going to hold behind your car ? Arent you afraid of it blowing ?

[htchbck]

Not going into his...

Chris, the 14th is the date of our spring meet in SC. Was thinking you might be able to join us and possibly see the G4A in my car if its done. Thinking about chopping a tree down on the Mitsu just so I can justify not finishing it and moving on to Green Car lol.

[Damkid]

Ah chances are I wouldn't go further then Paul's, it's already a 12 hour drive to his place lol

Ill be doing a B6T/4spd auto in neanderpaul's festiva

[Damkid]

let the fun begin

[htchbck]

Oh its on now! Don't forget pics of the G4A once you get it pulled. Mine came from an '89 hatch as well, just curious if there are any differences between the US and Can ones.

[Damkid]

There's probably not any differences but we'll see lol

I most likely won't pull anything out until shortly before I pick up Paul's car, that way it's fresh in my head how it was put together

[htchbck]

Looking forward to the build! We have our tax money now so as soon as we find us something with four doors and an automatic transmission Green Car will be going under the knife! Might be getting a Mystique if the guy will come off the price a little lol. It runs and drives just needs a fender and a paint job. I kinda like the idea of not having a rebuild it as soon as I buy it, like everything else I've bought in the past 5 years has required lol.

[Damkid]

Are you just swapping the trans? Or engine too?

[htchbck]

Engine that came with my trans is already in Chuck for now. Green Car will retain her Aspire B3 I rebuilt just a couple thousand miles ago. Plenty of pep from it, just needs an extra gear up top

[Damkid]

Awesome! If you get to the trans swap before me, definitely post pics and the horror stories, then we could compare horror stories once I get to the swap haha

On another note, tonight I'm picking up a used hitch for my escape so I'm just about setup for towing again

Only horror story I see is relocating the rad. I think I can drop the rear of the trans enough to clear the steering rack, but even in the stock-ish location, the huge cover on the front of that trans will be blocking 1/3 of the airflow through the radiator. Not something you want to do on a half size radiator that will now be dealing with a larger than stock trans lol.

You're gonna have the fun swap of the two, making room for the turbo setup AND trans But we all have faith in you

[Damkid]

I think there will also be A/C as well lol, should be fun for sure lol

[Damkid]

Now for some decent pictures.... i'll most likely repost these pics in an official build thread once i get my hands on paul's car :evil4:




146k kms on it (roughly 87k miles) :headbang:





Kick down cable

[bhazard]

Wow is there anything wrong with the car?
