Steve Parmley Posted March 8, 2007 Share #14 Posted March 8, 2007 Some black lights in the garage and Iron Butterfly cranked up on the 8 track will enhace your experience. Maybe add a profoundly cynical qoute to tell the man to stick it like Transcendental Racing did back in 1976.I actually like it, it reminds me of the body paint on Goldie Hawn from the Laugh-in T.V. show.untitled.bmp Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/23304-new-psycho-paint/?page=2#findComment-201587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted March 9, 2007 Share #15 Posted March 9, 2007 id rethink that t-5 esp if you went with a turbo.I keep hearing that advice, but I won't be drag racing this car, and the turbo won't have any more than 6psi or so. Most of the T-5's durability issues stem from the lack of internal shifter stops, which can be solved by upgrading to an aftermarket shifter assembly. There are a few other things you can do to increase your transmission life, none of which will bring the cost of the transmission anywhere close the cost of a used T-56 (in fact, I could buy an all-aftermarket t-5 for about the price of most used t-56s that I've seen). I refuse to get an automatic, and the engine is going to be mostly stock specification with low boost. I think it will be alright for a fun street car. If not, you guys can all say "I told you so" and I won't get mad.
