treceb- thanks



Racer X- I know you didn't make me post it all but I figured what the hell, it would be a good opportunity for some feedback. The wheels are just going to sit in my garage forever unless someone wants to buy them. Can't use them anymore now that I have the -SE bolt pattern. Nope not a NPR, riceracing made it special for a FB. He has the same one in his car. lol.... YOURS joining rank soon.... you already are, untill my car runs/drives I'm waiting to join the ranks

Not going to use the E6k like most people?How much of a pain was it to mount the T2 tranny?

I figure the E11 will be worth the extra $ taking in account the extra things it can do.

Mounting the t2 trans was a snap. Used the stock crosmemeber but had to redrill it. Tossed the stock mount and used a 3/4 aluminum spacer to get the right transmission height.

Just FYI the mounting of the trans was the easy part, making the FB shifter come up in the right spot was where most of the work went.



Haha, I remember when he said it was going to take a month from start to finish. Funny how it always takes you at least 2x's as long as you think it will. But I don't doubt his will be rinning in a week or so, he's pretty damn close. I'm shooting for spring.
