cobra winter upgrade thread
figured I'd make one thread that I'll keep updating as my winter mods get bought/on. things i've done thus far, pulled the t56, installed my 26spline input and steel tob sleeve, pulled off my valve covers to get powder coated, and pulled off my pedal assembly to get ready to install the new quadrant. Also sold my stock wheels/tires. here's a list of everything i'm doing over the winter.
Trans
-liberty 26 spline input-done
-mcleod steel tob sleeve-done
-d&d billet 3-4 shift dogs-ordered
-new stock flywheel-ordered
-promotion 750 clutch
-fiore firewall adjuster
-steeda quick release quadrant
Engine:
-Metco 4lb lower pulley
-metco 3.2 alt pulley
-new gates belt
-75-100 wet shot(whatever my pumps can support)
-n2mb nitrous controller
-Walsh dyno tune
others

I'm hoping to have the trans stuff done before christmas, but not sure if i'll be able to swing that. Will keep this thread updated as i get parts put on with pictures. Here's pics i've taken along the way thus far:

Mine is:
Let my car sit
Dont touch my car
dont buy parts for my car
and last but not least find another job.
Then hopefully I can start modding my car again

I cant say i've ever seen, heard, or know anyone who's had a clutch come apart. IMO the only way that happens is misuse.
However, I got my 3-4 dogs today, hard to imagine something so small and light could cost $100! jeesh. going to attempt to install them tomorrow, hopefully it all goes as planned.
