I have no idea to your questions but it sounds bad ass, i suspect the exhaust is not done., and put a damn fan shroud on, the video is scary.

[Pesty351]

Your right about the exhaust I still need to put the foot of pipe that will take it out the side. :p I'm going to go elec with the fan so I wasn't to concerned with the shroud.

I still have a bunch of odds and ends to do but it moves! Runs fairly good for my timing gun being broken. A buddy of mine is bringing his over tomorrow. Does anyone know if I can use the same speedo gear with the 5-speed? Also what is the correct way to adjust the shifter stops?

Concerning the speedo gear....
No, get one for a 5-speed.

Concerning the T5 shifter stops....simply pull the shifter into either 3rd (forward stop) or 4th (rearward stop). The problem with the T5 is that it doesn't have a collar on the outward end of each gear, so without the bolt in place, it tries to overshoot right off of the end of the gear face during hard shifts...simply pull it back until it's in gear, then let go of the shifter...then tighten until the bolt just barely touches the shifter handle.

Thats easy enough.

Drove it around town today. It ran pretty good most of the time but occasionally especially on sharp turns it seems to be have fuel starvation issues. Not sure whats up with that yet. My air cleaner is pinching my fuel line a bit so that could be it. The only other problem I've been having is 3rd gear likes to grind and is pretty noisy. All in all though for the first time driving it around it was pretty successful.

Yay, third-gear-grind! Get ready to rebuild it soon.

Yeah thats kinda what I was figuring but what do you expect for a used $300 tranny right.

If you have trouble finding someone to do it right, let me know, I have a personal contact here who does phenominal work on T5's...

[Pesty351]

I figure I'll drive the tranny till it blows up then rebuild it. Do ya'll know if lucas makes a additive that will shut it up so I don't have to listen to it.

How's it drive? Plenty of power? Order the banjo fitting for your fuel line, so it points downward off the carb.

[Pesty351]

I haven't really got on it yet I want to get the motor nice and broke in first. I beat the bottom of my air cleaner with a hammer and that fixed the fuel line issue.

[87gtVIC]

at least you got to beat on something lol

[Pesty351]

How do you think I got the clutch pedal to fit. :p
