Nice! Where did you get all those spare transmission parts?

I dont often frequent this site, but when i do, I frequent this thread! Interior plans?
Wait, you have another car? Interesting....
As it is originally a Cali Car(from Martinez CA) the interior is sunbaked, seats are splitting open interior panels are yellowed. I've got a pretty good collection of replacement pieces, a near new back seat (top and bottom) but the fronts I am considering aftermarket for their ability to work with a 4 point harness:eyebrows:. Some of the interior plan is still evolving.
JT I sold three cars in the last 6 months so it's not like I have a sickness or anything:p
Looking great, Alan. Can't wait to see t at SDAC!
I have a few sets of gray Omni front seats.
Missed this post Andy, I may take you up on a set if you have some 8.5 out of 10 or better. I am leaning twards aftermarket that will support a 4 point tho. I'm not a drag racer but I do spend some time on roadcourses:eyebrows:. I've been promising myself that RedBox would stay Sunday driver/'street friendly as I already have a full caged/no back seat track oriented L body. I rarely if ever drive that one on the streets around town.
It wouldn't be bad to have a set of stock seats, but for any type of autocrossing, I would go aftermarket. There is no lateral support at all no matter how much the belts are tightened. I've seen some stock Recaro seats out of a Saturn Ion of all cars that seem to have good bolsters and I ran some Corbeaus that were really good, only had an issue with one that they made good on when I contacted them about it. Just my .02 cents.
6 hours of porting and the manifolds are ready for RedBox, crickey my back hurts after hunching over for that long:( Advil and Jack Daniels are kicking in tho:eyebrows: The 2 piece intake manifold is welded and ported to accept a 58mm throttle body, I'll prolly start with a 52 and upgrade later just to see if there is any noticeable improvement. With some wrinkle black powder coat it will be fully California compliant-at least what they don't know wont hurt them in a kind of way compliant:lol: TU headers are really good as delivered but always room for some improvements if you know your way around porting and polishing;)
Welding up that elbow should make a big difference. I've opened up one of my two piece intakes for the 58mm TB, but it's a pretty steep transition right there even when you go paper thin. Nice work on the exhaust manifolds too. Those should move some air.
Looks good!
Can't wait to see the finished product!
How long until you get all the metal splinters out of you? That's the real question here.
He probably knows a good surgeon. ... ;)
Man if it was one thing I always wanted on my GLHT it was a rear wiper. Any moisture on the street and it'd get sucked up and thrown all over the back window. Course it was a lot to do with the S10 air dam on it. A friends GLHS' rear window was always clean.
