Something New

[irocz2173]

I bought something new today and I cant wait to bring it back to Jersey!!! anyone wanna guess? I'll give you a hint... it's fast!

[NJ Torque]

:rollseyes: try building something yourself.

[irocz2173]

how bout im smart enough not to spend that much anymore. fully capable. I just know that I would never pay the $20,000+ in receipts i was handed today. Dont be jealous chris

[NJ Torque]

Jealous of what?

You buying an already built car from LS1Tech? Yeah, oodles.

Your a ****ing toolbag and your probably gonna go around saying you built it too!

[irocz2173]

go to sleep chris isnt it past your bedtime.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Then why'd you sell your car?

[irocz2173]

Looking for something with a bit more power and I had found it before I sold mine. It has been in the works for the last few weeks now. I was trying to get more into the drag racing aspect of it while still retaining all of the stock features for daily use. I think I have finally found something I am going to keep for a while (lol i may not be saying that next week though). I also needed to pay some college **** off before next semester. That was the really big rush. I ended up selling both of my vehicles within 24 hours of each other. Made the money i needed and got what i wanted. Maybe a picture will help you guys guess...

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Ahh, gotcha. Nice find!

[irocz2173]

thanks man. D1SC, 408 fully forged, stage 4 6 speed, spec 3 clutch, 10 bolt with 3.73s, bogarts big n little, etc

Car is very powerful but... the rear is shot which i already knew and the tune could use some driveability adjustments. Shouldn't be long before its perfect lol

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Damn sounds exactly what njgunslinger wants to do to his car. What does it run/dyno?

[irocz2173]

These are all numbers from the previous owner as i just bought it today but it put down 659 HP and ran a best time of 10.98 and a best mph of 134. It still has A/C and cruise control. I drove it 5 hours today getting 21 mpg and will be driving it 12 hours next weekend to bring it back to jersey

[ShadowHawk]

Lucky scum...it shoulda been me!! DAMN THAT BASTARD for not trading me!! LOL!

When you get bored of this one, um...YO!

And damn you again for selling my car...hope to god it went to a good home.

[irocz2173]

Lol Matt you will be the first one to know if it goes up for sale. Give me a year or so.

[sweetbmxrider]

[98CamaroSS]

Nice car congrats. :nod:

[irocz2173]

Thanks. Its crazy fast. Just sent money for a rear today. Should be at my house by thanksgiving break. Moser 12 bolt 33 spline axles, true trac, relocation brackets, 1500 miles and much more. $1900 shipped

[funrudy]

Glad to see another T/A will be well cared for!
Congrads & Great Find!

[irocz2173]

Decided not to get the true trac rear. I am in need of a 9 in with a wavetrac. Does anyone have one for sale? I am looking for a 3.70 gear and obviously 35 spline axles. There is one with a detroit locker that I am looking at now but I don't know how I feel about the locker on the street. It is my daily driver so I want it to be quiet.

[irocz2173]

I am thinking about going with a new Quick Performance rear. Has anyone used one?

[irocz2173]

Ended up not going with a quick performance but actually one of their competetors. They gave me a great deal on my dream setup so i decided to just do it. Hopefully it will be here by thanksgiving break

9" housing
aluminum center section
35 spline axles
wavetrac (lifetime warranty)
3.70
relocation brackets
adjustable torque arm mount
sway bar mounts
shipped to my door for $2700

I can't wait to put this thing in and get rid of all that rearend noise i currently have lol

[FlyingDutchman]

siiiick car man!

[irocz2173]

thanks

[NJ Torque]

where did you get the rear from

[irocz2173]

kentucky speed and performance. I will let everyone know how my transaction goes. Just ordered it on saturday and he said it should be here next wednesday they said. They gave me the aluminum center section for free cause i asked them to make it worth my while to order from them.

[SteveR]

You may want to call them back and change your center section over to nodular iron. The aluminum cases are not designed for street use or full weight door cars.

[imjustinlampe]

so how much did you end up paying for the car?

[irocz2173]

paid a fair price for the car with a few extra parts but the rear was screamin'

[FASTKNIGHT]

i like that trans am.... good luck with it.:drool:

[irocz2173]

thanks man.

[irocz2173]

OK... Just got back for Christmas break and finally got to look at the rear. Everything was good except for the housing did not have the sway bar brackets that i ordered. I put in a call to kentucky speed and heve not heard back from them yet. I spent the entire day installing the rear. (by myself) and have about another 3 hours to go tomorrow. The center section is in and the housing is painted. The only reason why i couldnt finish it tonight was the shop that i took it to would not press on the bearings tonight. The axles will go in it tomorrow and then it should be easy from there. I might be in need of a set of cheap winter rims and tires cause my 28" street radials might not clear. If anyone has a set for cheap let me know. Thanks.

[irocz2173]

Well, the rear is officially in, but due to mother nature it still has zero miles... Figured i would post some pics of this thing. These were taken yesterday at the end of the day

[irocz2173]

First pic is of the axles that I had the bearings pressed onto. 35 spline with straight roller bearings. Second pic is of my work space. Wow was it cramped in there. Had to fight with **** to get the axles in. Third is of the first axle in. finally coming together...

[irocz2173]

First pic is of the last axle in and tightened down. Second is a failed attempt by my buddy at showing both axles. Third pic shows the torque arm mount installed and painted. Moser uses a fixed mount unlike some of the others that I have seen. Needed to buy a 1 1/8" socket to fit those beefy bolts..

[irocz2173]

This is the final product. It came out great. In the first pic you can see the old 10 bolt. Dont mind the leaking exhaust. That will be addressed next. I was able to retain the parking brake with a slight modification to the stock bracket. I also mounted it in the top hole for the LCA instead of the one i actually put the LCA in. (if that makes sense) Last picture shows what happened while i was in the garage all day. Nothing compared to the winters in Michigan... Any questions please feel free to ask. Tune on Tuesday... More to come

[irocz2173]

And yes Chris I installed this myself with the help of one friend that was just there as another set of hands. Unlike you and your "cam swap":rofl:
