Hey guys, new on here, and new to the world of performance cars. I’ll apologize in advance for my ignorance, as I know very little about cars. I’m great at working on people, but cars, not so much. Anyway, I have always loved TA’s, and a few months ago I finally decided to get one. It’s a red 2001 WS6, automatic, with 60,000 miles, and was completely stock when I got it, and actually in very good condition. But I really wanted more horsepower, and want to change some appearance details. I am having most of the mechanical work done by a performance shop in Atlanta, and this is what has been done so far:

-GMPP LS3 525hp from Summit Racing installed

-9” rear end installed

-BMR level 4 Suspension handling package from Summit Racing, Torque Arms, subframe connectors

-Willwood Brakes

-Kooks Long Tube headers, Y-Pipe

-MRR 18” Gunmetal wheels

-Corsa exhaust

Parts I have, waiting to be installed:

-Braum Elite Series Seats with harnesses

-NRG Quick Release Steering Wheel

-Kenwood double din head unit with nav

-Redline Goods Shift boot and console cover

-Lloyd Custom Mats

The car is still in the shop right now, but should be done in a few weeks. I will post more/better pictures at that time, but thought I would go ahead and post some initial and progress pictures. I also have a couple of questions. 1. Does anyone have experience with the BMR suspension? I’ve noticed a lot of people on here are fond of the Koni Sport shocks. Should I change them? 2. The mechanic said that I needed a gauge cluster from a 1997 TA because the stock one is not compatible with the new PCM. Why is that? I ordered a ‘97 gauge cluster from Hawk Motorsports and have sent it to the mechanic, but I haven’t heard back from him yet.

Sorry for the long post, I’m just excited to be on here! Lol! Please feel free to make any comments/suggestions/criticisms

Thanks!

Gotcha. I will have to check on the cam sensor. I’m not really sure.

can you pm me some seat pics installed? Do you think a Wolfe cage would work with these? Do they sit high?

Unfortunately, I still haven’t installed them yet, but as soon as I do, I will send you pics with that information. Still have a couple of weeks left on wrapping up the engine install.

Thanks!
