Texas Mini Train March

8.11... but highway you would clean me out... and you can beat me in the 1/8th... just cuz you dont have a better timeslip dont mean you arent faster... right now its just me and lupe in our own class of headers back exhaust and short shifters with dr's

i want to put some DRs on but with 115,xxx on the clock i know the rear couldnt handle em for long

[BULLET_WS6]

does anybody have a very rough estimate of how much it would cost for like a 4l60/80 that can handle roughly 600rwhp?

i feel you... i have been veryyyyy fortunate to not snap anything on my passes.... im done for now until the car sells and i get a new one... but i should hopefully have enough cash to do my headers/td's/cam/head/rearend all at the same time... so no worries there

[ntimid8r]

one day... i will have a car that clean... but until i can afford a crew of twenty men to do the cleaning for my lazy ass... i wont happen... i dont know how you do it rich

Thanks Tyler. I like waxing off!

selling the T/A?

you an a4?

no i have m6
i was just wondering because im looking into buying a new car... and figurin out what direction i want to go with it... and my two scares from a4 are
A) i hate driving them
B) the cost of making them go fast safely...

[BULLET_WS6]

selling the T/A?

yeah im a smart cookie and bought an overpriced t/a... so now im in the hole with car payments and have the mod bug... so i sell, and buy a cheap camaro... use the cash to pay off my t/a and the exra cash to buy the camaro and the leftover dumped on the camaro...

i was looking at that torque arm - the guy at keith craft says he prefers the tranny mounted one for street/occasional strip cars

i think i would have clearance issues with that one - are you lowered at all?

Yes....my cars lowered with Eibach pro kit. It's slightly lower than the stock cross member, but much stronger as being part of the sub-frame connector tie point. I think I've scraped it a couple of times, but overall not bad at all.

Personally, I don't want the stress produced from a torque arm pulling on the transmission at all. That was a big factor for getting the Spohn at the time. Now BMR and UMI have that style too.

your a smart man... didnt think about it that way... and i would have to say it doesnt scrape cuz i notice that red paint shining on the bottom still lol

B) kind of goes along with the m6 as well - after the rear im probably gonna send mine off to sixspeedsinc.com and have them rebuild it

i figure there are about $5K in parts that i would like to put on her before i call her "done" which ive already learned these cars are never done - lol

Somewhere in the $2k area.

Well the cross-member was just re-powdercoated and I haven't driven the car yet.

its kinda true and kinda not... with just a clutch i feel like i can safely touch 500rwhp and 112 lsa cam... in a auto you couldnt do that on a stock one with just a convertor and cooler... so in the longshot if you are going high horsepower... autos wouldnt cost toooo much more... but in the smaller hp around 500 m6 saves a butt load of cash

thats not too bad....
and oh... oh well... not like all these cars dont scrape on everything in the first place i wish they looked like the bottom of a c6

yea, my ORY is scraping and im not gonna take the ride height back up to just scrape on something else - i think i will be ok with the tranny mounted one - and its 100 bucks cheaper - but yours is probably better performing

I wish I had a C6 Z06 too but........

[BULLET_WS6]

i will one day... and you can mark my word... well either that or a c7 if i like them better and i got the cashflow... but i will have a c6 z06 or better...

It really doesn't scrape much as long as you're careful going over speed bumps and driveways. But it will scrape at some point.....just part of the whole lowering deal.

just kind of curious as to what you paid for your T/A and why you think you overpaid - PM it if you dont want it on here
