I got the whole rear end off ebay for $35.00!!!!!! Its only bout an hour away got to go pick it up this saturday. I think it had about 160,000 miles on it but "Bob" (the guy i got it from) said the drivetrain on the car was in perfect working order, i am going to change the seals and fluid when i get it anyway.

sooooo 3.73 which is what i was talkin about in the last post, or pay $400 to have the 3.23s put in.

I think some nice red aftermarket parts would look good...

i know i was thinkin bout gettin some panhard bars from UMI

FORCE_FED_Z 03-17-2006 08:36 PM

Actually you only need one panhard bar...you need 2 lower control arms, a torque arm, and sway bar for the rear and you will have a nice handling rear end!

Got the 3.73 put in! Found out its a posi too! I have to work on a couple rattles but other than that it's great! Extremely fast acceleration. When i put it into reverse and it was at 1500 RPM it spun the tires without giving it any gas. I can smoke the tires really easy now too. its frikin awesome!

FORCE_FED_Z 03-18-2006 08:03 PM

Good to hear you are happy..what RPM's you turning at 55?

blue89vert 03-18-2006 09:03 PM

i have no idea, since the gear is higher the speedo is way off. It says im going way faster than i really am. Any ideas of how i can fix this
