Nevermind then:geeza:

I drove it out under it's own power and gave it a bath. Of course I couldn't drive it back in, something is messed up in the tranny or converter. Why can't anything go right the first time. :icon_silent:

Are you crazy? Its a little faster than that...

That is one beautiful car Dave. Can't wait to see it make its first pass.

[KA-T_240]

I'll answer that... NO

[DaveH]

Well the tq converter is siezed up solid, that sucks. Gonna try to get my old converter in there so I can at least drive it.

[SmitEvo]

well you gotta put fluid in it....

[DaveH]

I spose that would help eh? lol Well I got my old converter in the car and it works so I can drive it again anyway. This converter is way too loose tho, it will probably stall 9000 rpm with the turbo spooled.

At least you can drive it though...right? In the end, thats all that matters.

Well, it's good that it can be driven, but the main goal of this car is to go from point A(which is the starting line) to point B(which is the finish line) in the quickest possible time.(keeping in line with all NHRA rules ) It will not even be close to the power band if it's stalling higher than 7k or so and never goes below that point with the turbo singing. It will just make it easier to get it in and out of the trailer when Dave gets his IC pipes and downpipe down this week....right Nick!

Who needs a trailer??:icon_rabbit:

[Sweet-WRX-Lovin]

Car looks sick Dave. When you gettin' another converter for the tranny?

[DaveH]

I'm just sending this converter back to get fixed, the stall should be right on it once they get it fixed.

So, you're saying the powerband is below 7k rpm?
