look good

 

[ERICK]

He said they were in mint condition. Hope he wasnt fibin!

 

[ERICK]

Thanks 4 the input. I MUST WIN THESE GEARS, hopefully the price wont go to high.

 

[tire]

he's definitely cleaned them up nice if those are the actual ones he's selling. go for it. you know how to correct your speedo afterwards right?

also, are you wanting to just add a few things to make the stang faster, or go all out? budget? sorry, i just never have liked the smaller 7.5 rear.

 

[ERICK]

If I win them i'll be geting a chip too. I'm in college so I have a budget, maybe just some gears, nitrous maybe a new cam.

7.5 sucks!

 

[ERICK]

I know it ! I'm a cheap bastard

it's sounding like you are wanting to mod your car a lot. i have nitrous as well and slicks waiting for me. you won't be able to do the same with the 7.5 with an reliability. not even drag radials. by the way, the TOTAL cost of an almost new GT's rear, 4.10s, gear install, and seling my old stuff cost me a total of 500 bucks. and i didn't have massive connections either.

I was looking at 600 4 the gears, t-loc and install. How did you pull 500 off?

ok here we go then, what i got and for how much:

3k mi old 02 GT's 8.8 rear with brakes: 275$ picked up in person
4.10 gears and supplies: 156$ shipped, 25$ for supplies
install of gears: 150$

GT rear brakes: -30$
my old axles: -70$
my old housing: -40$
the 3.27's out of the 8.8: -36$

i may have forgotten a part or two, but it turns into about 500 bucks when it's all said and done.

and don't forget tlok comes stock in GT's.... that saves 160 bucks right there.

Good thinkin. Looks like you got one hell of a deal!

installing the 8.8 takes a while, and isn't fun. you are now officially warned.

 

[ERICK]

I'm to cheap for an 8.8 . Hope my 7.5 holds.

buy a girdle and youll be fine.

Unless you plan on running 12's and dumping the clutch with real slicks, you wont have anything to worry about.

Pete used 7.5" rears on his car all the time. He went through 3, but hes also running 12's. 8) He only recently stepped up to a 8.8" because hes shooting for 11's :twisted:

8.8 install isnt that hard. with 2 people, and some air tools, you can ahve it done in a couple of hours.
