I replaced our front wheel well liners a year or so ago. The stockers were pretty nasty. You can get new ones from GM Parts Direct or your local dealer.

Ordered ARP main cap studs. Almost have everything I need to get the engine dropped off at the shop. After these I will just be waiting on pistons.

No need to buy new ones here. Naturally, wheels & tires are done last when washing my cars. When all 4 are done, I take an old, clean cotton rag & wipe down the liner. Have to say, even my pewter ws6 with 50,455 miles on it, they still look like new. Take care of your stuff & it will last.

Ours had road rash on the liners when we bought the car in '09.

Got more work done on the T56 swap this weekend. Sooooo close to being able to drive it again.

T56 Swap - Day 5

***SMWS6TA*** · 02-10-2014, 11:12 AM

with me going to 4.10 gears do I have to change the speedo gear in the t56?

**Decadence75** · 02-10-2014, 11:17 AM

Just need to get it changed in the tune as far as I am aware.

No, it can be changed in the tuning.

***SMWS6TA*** · 02-10-2014, 11:35 AM

sweet...one more thing to tell Frost.

**RedFenix_68** · 02-10-2014, 04:29 PM

Even if you had to change the speedo gear in the t-56 lucky for you it is very easy to get to. But luckily you dont.

Just curious, why did you buy an A4 if you wanted an M6. There are plenty of M6 trans ams available now , as I'm sure there were plenty available when you bought yours? No need to get excited, as I stated, I'm just curious.

1. When I bought it, I was in need of a car and took the opportunity to get into something I would enjoy over another sedan or luxury car
2. There might be plenty available where you are, but not here.
3. People with 6 speeds seem to think their car carries a premium simply because of that fact
4. You've never changed your mind down the road about what you thought you wanted?
5. Tried the stalled auto since they are all the rage, wasn't for me.
6. I like projects and doing this work is more gratifying to me

Wrapped up the swap by replacing a couple fuses and flashing an M6 stock tune then going for a drive. Got badgered by an Advanced Auto dude to buy into the K&N hype.

T56 Swap Wrap up

Walked by her in the garage today, she's sad I haven't driven her in about 2.5 months. We are actually having a winter here in Indianapolis. Even made an ice rink in the back yard to play hockey on.

Alternator relocate kit. I'm tired of replacing alternators that burn out from the PS pump location on our cars.

I ran into that issue last summer. The stocker died so I went over to a truck alt and it only lasted about 5-6 months so I swapped the PS pump out at the same time I did the second alt swap. I am considering the change to a good manual rack and getting rid of PS altogether but haven't decided on it yet.
