^ That is awesome man. Congrats!

Care to post pics of the conversion or finished install of the tranny?

Major props to you!

Chris

 

didnt take that many pictures..

Major props to IronMdnX for doing it First and helping me out.

 

please put vids up of that tranny in action!!!!

 

Well then, to IronMdnX...maybe I can get some help from him if he still lives in MN...

Any pics is better than non...lol..so post up...

I am wondering how it feels now with the "improved" ratios of that tranny...I imagine its putting the power down way more effectively.

Chris

 

Thats bad ***. Let us know more details and how it handles the power..

 

 

now a Rx8 shift **** would make sense....

 

I'll lean on you when my tranny blows up

I agree that the lighted RX8 shift **** is the way to go.

 

Reverse is incorrect on a RX8 shift ****.

 

whoa ... wha kinda rims ?

 

You know which way to shift right? It's a nicer looking **** but if you do it, it will look like my car I have the lighted 5 speed version and I tell people it's best interior mod I did. Very solid and heavy unit and cool at night.

 

i'm keeping the GTO one.

Damn that sounds fantastic and nicely tuned my friend! What boost level do you drive around on? I'm at 12 PSI and 555 WHP.

 

thanks dave. 620whp @ 16 psi.. i need to change the springs on my wastegates they are too high :/

 

lol, good thing no one was on that road... cuz u were all over it.

thats one of the best videos i've seen that really shows the accelerative forces.

 

I agree, it almost feels like you're in the car..or my car.lol.

 

Wow. Sweet stuff man. T56 it is!

 

Car sounds sick and great video! I would love to get a ride in it at DGRR

edit: Didn't realize how old the vid was and that its on page 2

 

Yup, that's me!

 

i'm glad you got the t56 done, impressed at how quickly it came together. your car is bad ***
I'll get some pics of my T56 and adapter plate up here soon. i'm using the ??Mcloud bellhousing/scatter shield with a very thin adapter plate.

 

Thanks for all the help and tips. i had no choice.. my car was sitting with out a transmission for over a month and i got tired of buying FD transmissions that will only last about a wk :/. i was thinking about using the scatter shield and i might do it in the future.. don't forget to post some pics when you're done.

Keep posting up youtube videos. Your FD sounds soooooo dope man.

Definitely invest in a scatter shield. This video will make you think twice.
2:33 clutch failure. This guy is lucky he didn't lose his leg or get killed. Scatter shield is on my list. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJtJUVyEyYY
