Hey im not going to be able to piant the car till after winter so for now me and my dad are giving it a temp spray can job. Any one got any pointers or tips??

DanniBoi91

Custom cup holder I installed

DanniBoi91

I live in omaha nebraska and it can get pretty freakin cold here during the winter. I was wondering since i have a fiberglass hood, during the winter going from cold to warm to hot would it crack the hood. Should i take off for winter and put stock hood back on? Or is there some temp thing i can do to the hood to prevent cracking (if it would)?

A nice paint job? from maaco?

Tobias05

hey, cupholder looks pretty nice!

camaropunk

Awesome! Ive gotta see if I get an exaust shop here to brake the welds on my cat and put exhaust hangers on so I can take it off. What did you put in its place? just a piece of pipe??? Also how big is the piping from the y pipe to the muffler??

Ive ment to post this, but this is my spolier brake light

New tranny pan that i bought off summit





Im also thinking about buying a B&M shift improver kit to hopefully solve my slippage problems. Has anyone heard of any thing with those? I would probably take to a shop too because i really dont wanna screw up with that stuff.

Tobias05

skip the b&m junk. does nothing but jury rig your tranny to bang shift, doesn't do anything to increase holding power.

if your slipping isn't bad, a corvette servo, a .500 boost valve, and an oversized low/reverse boost valve will do wonders.

i know when i had my tranny rebuilt, i was told i had the weakest servo available for a 700. i had a decent amount of 2-3 slip when it went in for a rebuild. surprisingly he also said my clutches didn't look too bad.

Ive heard the b&m ones are junk and that a trango one is the way to go...If you do this let me know how much the install was, im curious to know.

Also I got my cat off, it is so damn loud now, I will try and make a video soon

travishenry

very nice car man good choice.

DanniBoi91

My tranny blew today on my way to school today, I totally lost 2nd gear. So my parents are buying me a new one for Christmas. I plan on buying a rebuilt 700r4 from ebay for $800. The new things done to it are

1:CORVETTE SERVO REAL FIRM 1-2 SHIFTS HERE!
2:HARDENED SUN SHELL AND GEAR (A MUST FOR ONE WITH SHIFT KIT)
3:.500 BOOST VALVE AND PRESSURE SPRING
4:PERFORMANCE T.V.BOOST AND SPRING
5:NEW/REMAN PUMP ASSEMBLY 10 VANES 13 IN OUR RACE FULL MANUAL UNIT.
6:NEW HIGH ENERGY CLUTCHES
7:NEW HIGH ENERGY BAND
8:STAGE 3 JACKSON PERFORMANCE SHIFT KIT.
9:JACKSON PERFORMANCE 3000 STALL CONVERTER BALLON PLATES AND FURNACE BRAZED FINS.



I'm probably going to buy it tomorrow or sometime this weekend.


How hard is it to install it myself because we don't really have the money to buy the tranny and have a place install it?

83Chevy__Camaro

Lose the hatch, gloss black, get rid of all the shucks stuff the steering wheel and seat covers and floormats is what i mean, get some stock rims would be a good start

camaropunk

What is wrong with the seat covers and floormats? I understand the steering wheel and hatch, but wht the other things?

DanniBoi91

My Tranny is finally getting installed this weekend!!

jay_d

so did you decide to do it? or get a shop? its not a big deal, just pull the engine with the trans......id say put on a new flexplate while your at it, 30 bucks? and give the engine bay a good cleaning and maybe a coat of gloss black? If you do decide to do the tranny swap it wouldnt be that hard, just mark where all the wires go

DanniBoi91

Yea im gunna do it myself. I was wondering if i need a new torque conveter, i wanna keep the stock stall. Do you think the stock one i got on there now will be fine?

89RsPower!

curious why do you wanna keep the boring stock stall? Why not up it a little bit to say 2k or so? If you're putting in a new tranny its normally a good idea to replace the converter too but you'd probably be alright with reusing it.. Also on the pull the engine idea to do the tranny, thats just extra work, just jack the car up and pull the trans by itself.. don't make more work for yourself.

DanniBoi91

K thnx

jay_d

im sure id rather wrestle with a transmission out of the car instead of up under it with a jack......its only 2 bolts and a radiator and a few wires.....it may seem like extra work now.....just wait til you go to put in the bellhousing bolts and hooking up the convertor......plus you might bust your distributor when you take the trans loose from the engine

Tobias05

go with an s10 torque converter. 2200 stall. would be worth 2/3 tenths in the 1/4.

if i hadn't of gone with a custom 9 inch TC from edge racing, an s10 woulda been the ticket.

i believe the 96 model with a 4.3 is the one to look for.
