Impressions Of The New Upgrades


Über855R

Recommended Posts

Well I didn't get everything in but I did get my car back on the road for a while. Still to come are my 3 piece forged wheels and WP pro brake kit.

But for now, I have installed the civinco, level ten trans, Bored TB, polished intake manifold, Raxles, new lower control arms with delrin bushing(good stuff.) The car handles beautifully, spools great, grabs the road and seriously responds well to steering input. I had all kinds of creaks and groans in my front end with bad axles and ball joints, since replacing it sounds and feels so tight. The bushings do seem to make a big difference in the feel of the front end, just point an shoot and the car responds immediately. I spent all day driving slow to break in the new trans, got to give it a little gas near the end of the day but still haven't been able to WOT since my civinco is far from programmed and tuned. I wish someone had a civinco with a 19t program so I could at least get it in the ball park until I have time for dyno tuning. I will post some pictures of the engine compartment and maybe underneath the front end soon. But so far I am very happy, and the level ten trans shifts so smooth and quick its ridiculous. I am glad because it was a real pain to get that dammn thing.

what upgrade did you get for the trans ?

i love mine :wub:

I got the full stage 3 build. I think the same as you. So far I am REALLY HAPPY with how it feels. The shifts are so quick you can barely tell its shifting. I can't wait to be able to WOT and see what this bad boy will do.
