My bastard 12A-SE with pics

I just finished doing the SE suspension swap this weekend. I also added 4.44 rear end gears. Upgraded springs, sway bars and KYB shocks. Thing is as stiff as hell and feels like its on rails. This does mean that when we can afford new rims we can go out and buy at any place becaus eof the new bolt pattern.












i know there bad pics but i didn't finish till 10pm last night. We'll get better pics today

Whats your first impression of the 4.44 gears? Did they make a big difference?

Why ask the question if you know the answer.

nice looking car. Hey question...you ran 15.4 with the 1/2 bridge and the 48IDA? that's with or without the 4.44 gears?

if it's without the gears seems about right with the 4.44 gears and drag radials you should be dipping into de mid 14s with those mods...

I ran a consistent 15flat with 4.44 gears and 205/60/14s drag radials with a small streetport and a 45dcoe weber.

you'll love the gears!

My weber is tuned for a streetport. It has the wrong venturies and jets. It came off a car with a 12A streetport. I'm not making th epower i should be but i will be getting all the correct parts for a full bridgeport 12A for next season. My 1/4 mile time was on stock GSL suspension and gears. We have two friday night street legel events left this season but without a clutch i dont think i'll be making it
