Re: Major upgrade!!! =D
Mmm well from what he's told me..
He's upgraded all the spark plugs wires dist.ignition box..it's has k&n filters,cai, a dual flow master exhaust he also put in a better transmission..n I'm not too sure what else I'll look into it a bit more..I'm just goin by word of mouth all I've been doing is just cleaning the interior rims and what's under the hood
I'm lookin to repaint the car, and also reupholster the seats n stuff! That's all it needs for it to be a really good lookin car.

To be honest I'm not quite sure about that all he told me was it had a better tranny.. he replaced it when the original tranny gave out, he didn't want a rebuild cus he didn't want to hassle with It in the future so he just got a completely new one and he said it's better than the stock..that something that sucks is that I really don't knw what's already been done to the car since he had it for so many years and it isn't stock so I'm finding stuff about it little by little.

Re: Major upgrade!!! =D
thats weird, ask him exactly where he got it, sounds like aq different 700r4 if he didnt want a hassle, a swap would be a little more work but who knows as far as paint and body i normally do my own work...hence the tri colored camaro lol hjaqvent gotten enough time/money to actually sand it down, prime and then shoot the way i want to

Re: Major upgrade!!! =D
have fun if its got headers.... ive got edelbrock air tube headers on mine and i had to "fab" a socket for them.. i just took the normal socket you get for spark plugs (5/8") and cut it down short with a saws all, ruined my blade but it was well worth the trouble, chrome is a SOB to cut btw lol popped the rubber insert out and just slide it over the plug, then use a wrench on the end of it where its machined like a bolt head, all troubles gone, before i did that i couldnt tighten my front spark plug all the way and it caused a ton of problems suprised it didnt shoot out of the hole
its the same thing youd buy from SLP or hawks but free for me since i have a million spark plug sockets laying around lol
good luck
