Yeah, it bumps. The owners 350z is a little louder, but both beat.
what coast of make this mod with screen of dash ? π Greeting’s from Poland
!!!
i dont get why you sprayed it in red, looks stupid
@Mahaney82 Look man, don’t be upset because you’re mad at yourself for
picking the slower more boring transmission… for dragging, power shifting
a manual will always be faster than a comparative automatic.
an automatic race car? :S
@tomcatdcn Good job with google. Yes, stock this automatic isnt impressive
vs manual, but with work just like any motor or trans it does its job and
then some. So yeah, an auto tranny IS can be deadly. I used to to work with
SRT years ago while they were making the jump from superchargers to turbo
and they had great response from the auto. So your funny face and doubt
aside, auto is sick and sometimes preferred for drag use.
@tomcatdcn yes. He has some imported supra motor or something in it. not
into the race scene, but the car sounds nasty and looks nasty under the
hood. Since I didn’t do any work there i didn’t include those pics.
@loserwing I am not an expert, but i was left with the impression that its
does, but it is a stripped down version.
I used a standard metra kit, molded new ABS to the front and mounted the
radio from the back. We had all of the pieces custom painted. The cost to
have a similar kit built would be between $100 to $150.00 plus paint.
Kool but does it bump like mine?
@jollygingerguy The number one rule in retail…Give the customer what they
want. He came in asked for red, he got red. Sometimes your personal
opinions or taste have to be left out of the equation. I wouldn’t get much
work telling my customer thier ideas “look stupid”.
@caraudiofreq 1. lexus is 300 has 2jz-ge supra has a 2jz-gte. different
internals and is twin turbo. 2. that box must not have very much cubic
feet. is it ported and if so what too. these trunks are a pain to do
expecially with the fuel pump hump in the trunk. if you wouldnt mind
letting me know what the specs are thatd be great.
@tomcatdcn Who said I own an auto? I never did. Im sorry that slow brain of
yours cant seem to comprehend simple logisics or be open enough to accept
that the autos are good when upgraded. Just like a clutch should be
upgraded in a manual. I feel sorry for you. Try and enjoy not knowing as
much as you can in this world. Poor, kid.
@caraudiofreq thats fair enough if thats what the customer asked for, but
it really doesint go with the car, and looks out of place, but the customer
is allways right…
@tomcatdcn I take it you know nothing about a valve body upgrade, torque
converter upgrade or a sprag clutch upgrade…. Arent some of the fastest
Supras automatic? I guess you also didnt know Boost Logic has a pretty mean
Auto tranny for Supras.
@Mahaney82 Geeze man, you really make yourself out to be a smart guy, but
based on your previous message, you just made a fool of yourself, and I
don’t need to argue with fools. π I know more about transmissions than you
do as I have been working on them for over 10 years. In addition to them
being slower, autos are much less reliable. peace
@caraudiofreq the lexus is300 already comes with the supra engine doesnt it?
@loserwing according to the owner, yes, but it is a stripped down version.
This particular one is a J Spec, or something. he explained it all before
giving me a ride in it, but that was a whiel ago
@Mahaney82 No i don’t. What I do know is that the drive train resistance in
an automatic is always higher than that of a manual transmission. That’s
why advertised 0-60 times and mileage are always worse for the auto. These
results are proportional to that of the results on the track.
cost* π
@jollygingerguy Someone ‘sounds’ stupid. Its y they call it ‘PERSONALIZING!’
look nice !! π
Thanks. I am thinking of doing a “How To” on the making of the kit. Its a
simple job, but looks so much better than a simple kit in the dash.
@tomcatdcn The car is an automanual race car
