Right, drilling is a last ditch effort needed....



You will need the flywheel swapped like fc3sboy mentioned along w/ the appropriate counterweight... the T2 tranny... the T2 starter.. the custom driveshaft and your set...



I would still recommend swapping the rear.. if you drive that hard.. getting the more stout rear end and axles will only be a good thing... the rear is usually $100-$200 and axles can vary from $75 to $150...

geezes nevermind I cant afford to get all new flywheel and crap .... just going to have to pop in a stock NA pos again.



Putting in a t2 tranny into a na car looks like its going to cost over $500. How would I even figure out what counterweight I need?

ok how bout this, stop driving your car so hard on the streets untill you can afford to upgrade your car man. i mean damn dude you pound that poor car harder then my race team beats the ITS race car , **** even the 13 hour enduro race was a cake walk in comparison to you 15 block drive. damn man.

You can get away w/ the T2 stocker flywheel...i actually had one laying around a while ago..



You could probably do the swap for about $500...maybe less if you get good deals..

If you going to put a mile on the car, make it a good mile.

I noticed you didnt say t2 clutch .. u dont have to change to a t2 clutch when you change the flywheel?

fc3sboy1 02-20-2007 09:54 PM

there is a huge differance between driving on the street, spirited street driving, street racing, real racing and then there is what you do,,,,,,,, stupidity if you ask me. im all about having a good time with my cars but damn dude ( Yes I drive VERY agressive. A normal 15 min drive around town will include at least 2 drifts, a mulitiple stop light races / hard launches / burn out) and to top it off you are breaking parts that you seam to not beable to afford. there for in my eyes stupidity

fc3sboy1 02-20-2007 09:55 PM

yes you need the clutch too

TweakGames 02-20-2007 09:58 PM

calling me stupid doesnt help me much. Thanks .. I guess... ? haha



Ok ... so I will add new clutch to that list.... is there anything else we missed?

fc3sboy1 02-20-2007 10:05 PM

im not callin ya stupid man, trust me im not. but i guess i should have said careless or assholeish driving style instead of stupid. just think about it. i aint raggin on ya just tryin to open your eyes a bit on the dangerious ways you drive, you could do alot more damage then just a few broken drive line parts ya know.



and ok swap parts



t2 tranny



t2 flywheel



t2 clutch



t2 starter



t2 throw out bearing



t2 pilot bearing and seal as i cannot remember if the imput shaft snub is larger on the t2 so get it anyways



t2 slip yoke

a reputable drive shaft shop and proper measurnments



and i think thats it.
