one shortcoming ive always disliked about the Nova is the lack of a third pedal.... i REALLY would love to row my own gears, ive been considering a Manual conversion. Ive considered 4 and 5 speeds, but i think go Big or go Home... T56 all the way! Right now i got a TH350, for those who dont know trannys, its a 3 speed auto, not the greatest for gas mileage, but its decently strong but mine is on its way out. its starting to slip pretty bad in first, so here are my options. If i stick with an Auto, im not keeping a 3 speed. im looking at a 200 4-R out of a G Body for the Overdrive, as its a very simple swap. I would have it built to handle alot more power then im puttting out, just in case... Option 2, being heavily considered... Yank out the slush box, and start the long, expensive T56 swap. Ill need a custom crossmember, a pedal assembly, a hydraulic clutch setup, a special bellhousing, flywheel, driveshaft, etc.. ill have to cut the tranny hump and enlarge it. I can prob keep costs down by getting a low mileage trans and all the clutch parts (besides the discs themselves, ill go new for that) from an F-body, and all the work will done by me and my friends. My nova will progress more and more towards my original plans of a street warrior, so either a Built 4 speed auto and the T56 should be up to a bit of a beating, though the T56 will keep the revs down with the planned 4:10 gears.... what it all comes down to is money/time... while a new auto trans is cheaper and easier to replace, how freaking cool would a 6 speed in a Nova be? yeah its been done, but the thought of rowing through a double overdrive tranny with a classic hurst shifter jutting out of the floor just makes me smile... just thought id get some opinions/comments/criticisim

no promises :rotflmao:

cant a hetro boy get some visual stimulation round here? and i read that play Equuis.... weird indeed!

Can i win? f@#k a dinette set, gimmie some car parts!

reminds me of this:

i saw return to the routes of the LUV... a small, dead ass reliable little truck

sounds like a personal problem! :AH-HA_wink:

oh dont get me wrong, PCS does get under my skin once in a while, but he contributes to the site.... SMK is barely more then a troll!

ok, the quote isnt about ciggerates, but i love it... some local street racers have a logo, "SMOKE TIRES, NOT DRUGS!"

SMK.... i dont like you

YES! im flying out to do an OFFICIAL review.... yea, professional purposes only :AH-HA_wink: a lil bit too much info

JUST A SMALL TOWN GIRL, LIVING IN A LONELY WORLD, TOOK A MIDNIGHT TRAIN GOING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNYWHERE! i cant help myself

is that a stitched dash, a la CTS?

no cupholders in the nova, my legs get to hold a drink... not always fun with an ice cold or scalding hot drink...

this is disgusting! dealers storage lot more:

DUH! can i drive it?!?!?!

YEAH HOLDEN! WOOT!

my cars older then 1980 and its not to showy

those headlights are soo gooofy

thats exactly what i was thinking.. must be nice to be able to tear up a new caddy.... but i lust after it nonetheless!

take a peek at this, a 10.5 Outlaw XLR! never seen one done up this well! Click

ugh.. still cant believe im looking at the Toyota, but ive researched a lot of good things about the car, and im probably going to take a look tomorrow....

you know what i hate? when they bastardize a song/movie/TV show from the past that i love (im totally before my time, i love all old music) and my generation thinks its brand new, not knowing any of the history! even worse! many of my classmates have NEVER heard of the camaro before the Concept...
