What did you do with your Trans Am today?

**pajeff02** · 12-19-2011, 03:27 PM

My 12 bolt is kind of noisy, but I attribute a lot of that to the tunnel mount torque arm.

Jeff do you have the short tq arm? Or just the different trans mount that move it off the trans

**pajeff02** · 12-19-2011, 06:15 PM

Short torque arm that mounts in place of the tunnel brace:

Probably don't make it for my convertible, huh?

I just read through a few of the details on UMI's site and did not see any preclusion on 'vert models: Torque Arms : UMI Performance, Inc. Wouldn't hurt to give Ryan a call to verify though.

It fits, I have the same one on my rag top with an S60. A lot more noise with the tunnel mount torque arm.

Can't be worse than mine. I've got the Global West Traclink. Bolts to the crossmember, and the floorpan. Great for drag racing though.

**pajeff02** · 12-20-2011, 02:25 AM

That was the idea... better to go fast than be quiet.

**Knight** · 12-20-2011, 02:56 AM

Fits with my plan too!

**Spaz** · 12-20-2011, 04:57 AM

oh yeah... i don't have a TQ arm anymore if i didn't mention that...

**fbodyNATION** · 12-22-2011, 08:56 AM

Nuthin...just let her run for a good 35-45 minutes

**krese** · 12-23-2011, 04:59 PM

yep, winter here.... started her up and got to listen to her.... nothing quite like starting the car up every now and then in 25* weather and watch the smoke/steam of the exhaust while she idles! gives you a nice longing to drive the car again in the nice weather!!

Put my S60 in last week. Today my new diff cover was delivered.

**pajeff02** · 12-23-2011, 05:35 PM

^^ That works. I also ordered my aluminum cover after the fact. The 12 bolt came with a cheesy chrome cover.

**cpop98ws6** · 12-24-2011, 03:27 AM

The S60 came with a stamped steel cover, couldn't even order it with an aluminum one. They said some people were having clearence issues with them. Looks like I have plenty of room for the aluminum cover.

**scott5** · 12-24-2011, 06:15 AM

started mine to move it out of the way to make room for the new one i just bought lol

**pajeff02** · 12-24-2011, 06:35 AM

New one? Pics?

**scott5** · 12-24-2011, 07:23 AM

Its the black one that I have next to my red one in some pics I posted. I will get alot of pics when I can get it to my garage at my house. Its at my best friends shop(who i bought it off of) thats about an hr away.. He has had bad luck with it and built it for more than what he wanted esp when he already has a 3rd gen for a race car and change his mind and wants a no cage 6 spd car to drive daily(which the ws6 was hahahaha) the last motor he put in cracked the block and he said he was done with it. That day I asked how much for roller and boom I said ok sold haha.
For details its a black 99 WS6, 25k miles on the body, wolfe race craft 10pt cage (only 8 installed right now), racetronix fuel pump, with spohn tubular k-member and a-arms, stock 10 bolt with gears and cover, full interior car, setup for auto.. Here are some pics of it. These are both mine now haha

There are alot of little issues with it that I consider issues and some things need fixed or redone to make it the way I would like. So probably wont see it out this year, but next you will. The goal for the car is to make it in the top 5 fastest n20 stock ci ls1 list over on tech.
