Dang, anyone local have a 5spd swap they can part with? I had a line on one but the guy on here is not getting back to me.

God damn it is so hot in Reno... lol It was a 105 today. Such an interesting little place this is... :) I'm diggin it

5spd swap sourced, now to start ordering some parts like a SSK, ZHP knob, matt's shift boots, trans mounts, pilot and throw out bearings, selector shaft seal, and a shifter bushing kit. i can't wait to get rid of this automatic. it shifts perfect and all but its just tragic to drive.

[brutus87]

I love the work hes doing, but a build thread would be neat.

Great looking highway, too bad it's on the very opposite corner of the state.

There's some pretty good stuff going up to various mountains closer to Western WA.

Lulz. Open diff?

[5Toes]

Yes. Auto too. Oh boy

My friends house Im going to in Naches has about 350 miles of gravel desert roads within a 20 mile radius.

Oh yes

Diff swap man. 3.46 is one of the best differentials you can get. Quick but still good mileage on the highway. Sounds like fun. Can't wait to get my E30 on gravel (even though it doesn't take much to get it sideways on dry tarmac anyway ;))

[5Toes]

Hmm yeah these roads apparently are pretty good. My friend (hes often dumb) said his Dad got their PT cruiser to 80 on one of them. And he loves that car (its a turbo edition). Hes a really cool Dad, just bad taste in cars.. lol

3.46? Spendy. My car has a 4.1 open, so 3.73 lsd will be going in eventually.

First I gotta do:
Brakes
HeadUnit (maybe sub too)
Suspension
