Sounds like it's going to be one hell of a monster. You have a bunch of things done that I ultimately want to get done to my car. Rea, mini tub, suspension....

One question, although it might be some what of a newbie question. I noticed that your battery cutoff switch is on the left side of the bumper. I've noticed most people place theirs on the left side. What goes in to making a decision as to where the switch goes?

Nice looking project. Did you have to roll the fender lip for clearance?

Thanks alot guys, Yes this has all been done in my garage. The battery cut-off can be on either side as long as it is on the rear and easily accesable. The fenders where going to be rolled but someone got a little cut off wheel happy and cut the lip off. Looks fine though im happy with it. Ill keep you all as updated as possible.

The car looks great

I do have a question on the wheel/tire combo.

How much was your rearend narrowed?
What backspacing are your wheels?

I have the same wheel/tire combo with a narrowed rearend, but I want to lower the rear of my car down a little to get more clearance in front of the tire like your car.

Thanks everyone, The rear was narrowed 3" per side and the rear wheels are 15x10 with a 5.5" backspacing. Ill get some pics of the fenders that I cut later on today.

ajustability on that touqe arm is easy now. I would imagine thats what you were going for.

1999TransamWs6

iTrader: (21)

Adjustablitly is easy yes, but in order for the car to ride as low as it is and with this particular torque arm the tunnel has to be "modified" as you can see. I will be covering it with a removable plate I believe, not sure though, the car is going to have carpet and all interior so im not sure what im going to do just yet.....

Looks real nice!!

What Manual rack is that in there? Is that custom brackets or a kit you can buy? One more, how do you like the AJE K-member?

Thanks,
Dan

Your T/A is sick!!!!!!!! I do have one question though...why didnt you put a real coil over set up in the rear?

nice set up..hows the manual rack do on the street im thinking of doin one next year or when i do the suspension up front. and mor room for the turbo in there

Thanks, The manual rack is great on the street, I do have skinnies which helps but I do not mind it at all. The k-member is a very nice piece as well. You can buy the k-member and rack from AJE and they work together. Its the pinto rack on there site. I did not go with a true coil over in the rear basically because I did not see anyone with a coil over set-up for the rear.
