Aloha All,
I've been quiet for a while, but I just thought I'ld pipe up once again and give a little update as people ask once in a while. I almost think other people are more interested in how fast my money hog will go than I am.
But, I orered a new tranny with a trans brake from Bruce at Performance Transimission. I CAN'T wait till it gets here. The Art Carr tranny (which turns out is from a FAKE Art Carr company) is pretty much shot. I can still drive the car on the street, but I have to baby it. I ordered a 6 point cage from Chassis-craft with the swingout side bars. I will take it to the hobby shop (about the ONLY perk of being in the Navy) and weld it in (unless someone out there has a MIG welder I can use or wants to do it for Beer). Finally got the car running enough to start to tune the Felpro system. I did my first street tuning today with the system and I've had it for almost 3 years now. After I finish paying for the diamond I got my fiancee I plan on getting some 17" wheels and some BFG drag radials (looking at notching the frame and going with 315/35-17's in the rear), and some good performance front tires (17"). Anyone using some GOOD tires they can recommend??? I have so many modifications to the suspension (besides the motor), but it just doesn't matter with my BFG radials (275/50-15's on the rear) with the stock wheels. the car FLOATS on the tires and handles WAY worse than my mini-van 
. Anyone got aftermarket wheels on their GN or t-type and have pictures? I still haven't decided on the wheels, and am looking for pictures of aftermarket wheels on the GN/T-type. Thanks.
Derrick
