BULLWINKLE
okay, so here is the beginning plan of parts for bullwinkle to turn him into the car my family and i can enjoy.
1. engine
specifics on the engine are still being thought about, but i definately plan on a strong block stroker with some sort of power adder (turbo, or s/c) built to put down around 500rwhp. thats about all i will need.
2. tranny/driveline
i want to go with a t-56 and a 3.73 rear gear. im tired of changing gears every 3 seconds with 4.10s. i have also thought about emilios idea of a IRS swap. i will do some research to see how hard it is and the benifits from it. but sounds like fun
3. suspension
okay, so im am gonna keep it simple and go with the maximum grip box from maximum motorsports. it is a little spendy but has everything that i will need. VP, i want to handle like you!!!
MM Strut Tower Brace
MM K-Member
MM Front Control Arms w/ urethane bushings
MM Front Coil-Over Conversion Kit
MM Adjustable Tie-Rod Ends
MM Standard Torque-arm
MM K-Member Brace
Solid steering shaft
MM Full Length Subframe Connectors
MM Aluminum rack bushings
MM Panhard Bar with Aluminum rod
MM Adjustable Rear Swaybar
MM Caster/Camber Plates*
MM Rear Lower Control Arms without spring perch or swaybar mount
Hypercoil Coil-Over Springs
MM Rear Coil-Over Conversion Kit
Bilstein HD struts & shocks
Urethane swaybar bushings
Urethane swaybar endlinks.
4. brakes/wheels
i want to go with the FRPP cobra R brake kit. it has everything i need to convert to 5 lugs and 4 wheel disc, and strong enough to stop quickly. and wheel choice is unknown. there are so many choices with a 5 lug set up. they will be wither 17's or 18's, and not too flashy, but nothing thats common, ie cobras, bullitts.
5. interior
again, like VP i want to go with the corbeau seats. these a4's will provide the comfort for driving daily, but the performance to hold me in on the corners
the interior was already re-done previouslu, but i will clean it up with some billit aluminum. there is also a company that make a new gauge cluster that i will get. it will move my tach back into the cluster, but allow me to use new gauges from autometer. make it really clean, but still high tech looking.
i also want a roll bar with a removable cross bar (harness bar) for the 5 points. i need to be able to put the kids in there.
6. body
i will be going with a stalker body kit because it looks very similar to the clean GT, but its different. the bogy will look good slammed to the ground
i will also have a cobra R hood and i think the steeda wing that looks similar to my LX wing, but a little more agressive.
paint will be two tone, black on top and gunmetal or silver on the bottom.
plans will always change but here is my baseline idea for the build next year. if anyone ahs any good ideas that will help out let me know.
