LOL! I'll have 2 spare 92-95 EX transmissions, 3 spare heads, and 1 spare block. And that's after I have a full engine in the car. Granted I'm keeping 1 head and 1 block for the build but I'm going to have to start selling these parts off...
I've been driving all over Wisconsin to get the parts though. Oshkosh, Baraboo, and soon Greenfield.

I'm keeping the power level to the low to mid 200's as I want it to be a easily streetable car. Plus once you start getting up there in the whp it gets harder and harder to keep traction and put the power to the pavement. Plus, you reduce reliability and longevity of the engine too.

Note to everyone: Please don't debate me on my plan. I'm sticking to it as far as reliability is concerned.

I have and I really don't think I'm going to. One reason is that I don't drag race. Straight lines are no fun for me. I haven't really had an instance where I thought to myself, "I need an LSD, I can't live without it!" But maybe with the added power I'll change my mind. With the price of them being up there, I would probably just drop the $$ and pick up a quafe LSD with a lifetime warranty.


Yes, all 3 are 5 speeds. The one in my spun motor is a 96-00 EX 5speed and the other 2 are 92-95 EX 5 speeds.

 

Just wanted to say that i love your car and like the plans that you have for it. around 200ish WHP is going to be a blast to drive while not melting through rubbers lol.

I think you have a good idea with the LSD and i think you may end up wanting it in the end. My mx6gt was 200 HP and while i didn't burn the tires out all the time the damn torque steer was pretty crazy at WOT and i really missed not having LSD in that car.

Good luck with all the work you are doing and keep posting, this is one of my fav threads on this site, i check it almost every day

 

Just stoppin by to say great thread.

Milwaukee ftw!

 

how much would you want for the 96-00 one or is only one of the 92-95s for sale

 

I would be more inclined to sell you one of the 92-95 EX transmission simply because I beat the crap out of the Y8 trans. The others may be other year-wise but mileage-wise they have less and they weren't abused on tracks. I'd let one of these go for $150. If you really want the Y8 trans you're more than welcome to buy that one too. I may make it sound like its bad but she doesn't give me any problems at all, no grinds, no crap.

 

same price for the y8? cuz ive got a y7 im converting to a y8 so it would be nice to have everything the same but if you want it thats fine

 

No worries, I honestly don't care which one I have. It makes no difference to me.


Update:
I got a full z6 today with a wiring harness! Yep head, block and trans!

 

how big of a hurry are you in to get it out of there?

and do you think I could fit it in the trunk of my 93 coupe?

 

I'm in no hurry at all. And yes it will easily fit in a coupe. You can get a long block in trunk of a coupe, standing up!

 

lol as soon as i get my hands on some cash i'll pm you and then make the trip
