What did you do with your Trans Am today?

[bhunter0830]

Boy you can keep that one over her head for a long time!
GOOD LUCK

Yes, she won't be living this one down for quite some time.

[sjgreen6]

Let her think about it for a while and it will turn out the accident was your fault after all.

[bhunter0830]

Oh, it was my fault. apparently I was too far over... However it was parked in the exact same spot it is always parked it. Good call Steve.

[bhunter0830]

Changed the oil, tranny fluid, filter and gasket. Bags packed along with the SFC's and down to the in-laws to weld em up this weekend! We'll see how stiff this new suspension is and if I can walk after 4 hours on the road!

Dropped the tranny off at a new shop for rebuild.....again.....

Ouch. Auto or Manual?

[Knight]

M6. I'm a little rough on it though. Just ask Dan - tlsaddict.....

[silverWS6]

Wife said my car got hit by hail I'll inspect tomorrow and hopefully no damage was really done

[bhunter0830]

Welded in the sub frame connectors. Now just need new bump stops so I don't keep rubbing the fenders. Any suggestions?

[kingls1]

Brought her home from Dad's garage for good, No hood( painter ), no inspection, no tags, new LS7 clutch on the bench, slave, Tick mc, sequential tail light kit, and NO Time

Why are the fenders rubbing? You are lowered....what size rims?

please tell me you loaded the suspension prior to welding?


Bump stops I'd pm you the vendor I got mine from.

[SMWS6TA]

Test fit the 8.8 on my buddies car. Everything lined up perfectly.....We even compressed the suspension and plenty of clearance for the tank and exhaust.

Yes, I loaded the suspension prior to welding. That was after setting the car down on the jack stands with a 10 ton fork lift.

[SMWS6TA]

Ok, you'd be surprise how many ppl have forgotten to load the suspension when welding.

Lowered the car with BMR lowering springs, KYB Struts, Founders LCA's Relo Brackets, ADJ PHB and SFC's. I have 18x9.5 tires on the rear. Just catches the outside lip of the fender when going over dips in the road or going over bridges that aren't smooth at high speeds. Around town driving and cruising isn't an issue.

I thought that was a no brainer. However, I am not curious. What would happen if you didn't? I should have taken a picture of it on the fork lift! That was kinda cool.

[RichWS6]

I started tearing out the rear end to change my diff back to a posi from a locker, I have to say though swapping the 9" in was easier than taking it out, I will put a few pics up when I get home.

[KMdef9]

Put full coverage back on the car. Feeling too lazy to get it though lol.

[wicked1]

Both tires rub or just one side? I wouldn't think with a 9.5 tire itd rub at all.

Both sides rub. Not much but enough to hear it. The rear end is centered and double checked by my buddy at the alignment shop.
