Fantastic rack! Where did you get the mounts and the bike tray?

Cheers, Chris

Wicked. thanks Proslack.

I pulled the other trans off the spare engine today and it looks great.

The throwout arm is different than the one shown in the faq section on installing with your motor in. It has an open end and The throwout bearing clips onto it.

Anyone have any info on this. Maybe a later transmission?

The number stamped onto the top is 524037/4. Not sure where to find more but will search it.

Hey Everyone,

I am enjoying the hell out of driving my newly safetied and fun as all get out ratty 73.

I am sorting through all of the general maintenance items that slipped through the rebuild of the suspension and the sorting of the electrical and making some great progress towards my goal of a fun driver. I am making sure everything is in good fettle before I think of changing or upgrading anything. (need a good baseline.)

I have ordered a shifter rebuild kit from Blunt (great service!) to take care of the wonky shifter and have read many posts making sure to get some Redline MTL for the gearbox. Here is my question.

It is hard to tell with the non existent shifter bushings but it seems hard to find and click into second gear and reverse. ( I am very cautious shifting and try to feel my way into the gear ) I was thinking that the syncros were worn out and I do have a second transmission.

The second transmission is on a 73 tii engine and shifts smoothly and cleanly into gear. snick ,snick snick..

I was thinking of just building the new bushings onto the tii transmission and swapping it in. Besides the obvious of replacing the clutch while I am in there ( pretty sure it has been a while but I will have a mechanic check ) what else should I be planning on?

Is swapping a transmission way more work than I realize right now? (This won't be a project for me to pull of myself-mechanic friend to help with the job.)

Cheers, Chris

Cheers,

Since we're on topic of flywheels and clutches...

Is there any difference in the bell housings of the transmissions? Or can the clutch and flywheel be changed to the larger size when you do your clutch?

Would the benefits be worth it?

Cheers Chris

Hey FroH20,

Sucks to see your desperate need taken advantage of by a curbsider, but Esty is good people.

After an infamous number of posts highlighting the fraud of a carpet retailer who had caused much grief to forum members, she started making very high quality carpet sets at a great price. I have always thought that it was a perfect middle finger to the scammer.

Guns down everyone and let's play nice..

Cheers, Chris

Comical Kris,

I raced solid cat 3 from about '90 until I crashed at 65 downhill at the World Police/Fire Games in Quebec city in '05...I'll tell you that one sometime over beer...

Thanks for the welcome to the toronto group. Should have my ride safetied in about two weeks!

Cheers, Chris

Crap. I'd buy it. Looks way better than what I started with....

That's perfect! Thanks Tony. Email sent.

Cheers, Chris

Hey Kris,

Aborted the tii for terminal rust after stripping all the parts.

I picked up a 73 carb which I swapped into the new suspension parts and goodies. It just passed the safety and I am completing a couple of things that m mechanic wanted to see finished.

As soon as I have the car licensed I will be driving it to a couple of body shops for some paint quotes, Then put in carpet and make it look pretty.

Coming along great though and can't wait to let it rip.

How is your M2 project rolling? It looks amazing.

Cheers, Chris

Crap, Sorry Esty..

As the subject says...anyone have a lead or any they want to part with. 15's preferred but 14's will work.

Hey All,

I'm going to be in Vegas for a quick fun trip at the end of November and my wife and I are thinking of renting a boxster or something fun to take a cruise for the day. Anyone have any fun suggestions for drives? Area is all new to me other than the strip...

Cheers, Chris

The words "cheap tii project" do not belong together....
