News about my SVX.
Ok, I recently went down to fernly, finally, and found out just how slow my car really is up in this elevation. I almost ran an even 16 on my best run but I was as high as 16.2.
The supercharger setup is still not here yet which has me beyond frustration since I probably wont get it until its in winter and it will be un-usable. But since I have been waiting I have been giving some serious thought to what else needs to be done to the car. I have been looking into my options wheel wise, with brake upgrades in mind, and I have settled on one fo two wheels. Most likely I am going to end up going with superleggaras unless by some act of God I find watanabe cyclones in the US for a half decent price. I am also going to be taking out more of the interior for the meantime before I completly redo the inside. I have decided I am going to go with a sparco pro 2000 seat which I will have to have custom brackets and mounting for it made. Do you guys know of anywhere special I should go for that? I need to also see about having a piece of lexan put in for my back window, for several reasons, do we know anywhere for that in or around town?
Pretty soon I would like to switch over to a new lightweight battery, and in the process move it to the trunk. Is there anyway any of you could help a brother out with that? I am also looking to have a custom box made to keep it encloused in the trunk since I will probably be using a battery that doesnt produce gas.
And finally, I am still unsure of what route to go with my transmission. Ideally I would like an automatic tranny that can hold gobs of horsepower, be streetable, and have somewhere around a 50/50 split. I don't know if such a thing even exists, or if such a thing could be custom made. But getting an sti 6 speed and then having to build it to withstand the horsepower I will be running just doesnt sound too good. After all, I have a budget.
