That's awesome man. Can't wait to see this when its done

$2500 not including freight. i talked to ipt and a similar setup without TC, Torsen Posi unit, 3.90 final drive and my trans as a core would have run me $2975 not including one-way shipping. on a good note ipt would have covered return shipping.

i would think the 5spd would need a good trans as well if you're looking to push over 300hp. i could be wrong but i don't see the base balts having a beefy trans for the stock 2.2 power rating.

holy ****! i'm going nuts right now after watching this dumbfuck tow truck driver scrape the **** outta my front fascia as he tried pulling it on the truck. i had to stop this dipshit and point out how he was ******* my car up. he then puts bords under the wheels and finishes the job and blows it off. i called the trans shop that sent this yahoo and they're gonna check it out when it gets to their shop. not happy at all.

People don't ******* care about other peoples property at all. You can definitely get their insurance to cover new bumper though
